Mean Girls (2004)

As a teenager in high school, I probably heard every line in this film referenced by many girls at my school. Being a teenage boy, I figured this thing they are referencing must be stupid. I must now admit, in hindsight, I was wrong. I enjoyed Mean Girls, there isn't a whole lot of emotional depth, but I honestly didn't mind. The themes of confidence and belonging are meaningful, but you don't have to dissect much to find those themes. Tina Fey nailed a bitter love letter to the high school experience, of course, with a heavy emphasis on the female experience. I don't think there's a single person who had any highschool experience that couldn't connect with some aspect of the film. Lindsay Lohan isn't flawless, but there's something about her performance that solidified the whole story. I am interested to see how long the memory of this movie lasts. I would recommend to anyone in the 16-24 age range. I feel like you'll find some way to connect to this one.
