Mean Girls

A down-to-earth student joins a snobby clique in an effort to spy on the popular kids, then begins to act like them., (2004) Lindsay Lohan stars as Cady Heron who, having been home-schooled by her parents, is new to high school and totally unversed on how to survive the jungle-like teen society. But, befriended by two other outsiders, goth Janis (Lizzy Caplan) and gay Damian (Daniel Franzese), she infiltrates queen bee Regina George’s (Rachel McAdams) hive to bring about her downfall. Mark (Freaky Friday) Waters’s teen comedy is a cut above the rest, thanks to a smart screenplay from Saturday Night Live regular Tina Fey (based on Rosalind Wiseman’s non-fiction survival guide for young girls, Queen Bees and Wannabees ) and outstanding performances not just from Lohan, but the whole cast (watch out for Tim Meadows as the scene-stealing Principal Duvall).
