To prepare for the film adaptation of the musical I thought it was a good idea to watch the original film which is now 20 years old. Feeling old yet?
It was an amusing film that showed the horrors of growing up as a teenage girl (teenagers are the worst) and showed that social groups and cliques are pointless. Tina Fey's characters gave out some important life lessons about boys, popularity, and gossip aren't really that important. Mean Girls was a funny film that started out on a strong footing with Cady's first day of school and the cutaway gag involving the religious homeschool kid and it continued from there.
Lindsay Lohan's Cady acted as the newcomer to school and the social groups. It was particularly useful who aren't American girls. She was given the arc of the new girl who gets taken in by the outsiders and then becomes a popular mean girl. There was a great cast like Janis, Regina, and Karen, and show the insecurities teenagers suffer from. Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, and Lizzy Caplan have gone on to great things.
