Synopsis:
Raised in the African bush country by her zoologist parents, Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) thinks she knows about "survival of the fittest." But the law of the jungle takes on a whole new meaning when the home-schooled 15-year-old enters public high school for the first time and falls prey to the psychological warfare and unwritten social rules that teenage girls face today. Watch your back!
What the critics are saying:
"...far from perfect, but it has brains beneath its glossy, vacuum-packed beauty. Clueless meets Heathers: every teenager should see it."
- Nev Pierce, BBCi Film
"In a wasteland of dumb movies about teenagers, Mean Girls is a smart and funny one."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"A little acidic and surprisingly funny, Mean Girls will speak to anyone who ever took shrapnel on the battlefield of high school."
- Dawn Taylor, Portland Tribune
