Mean Girls --- I give it a 10/10, simply because I feel like it.
Lindsay Lohan is growing on me, and as I was also homeschooled, I can say with certainty that this movie captured the "initiation" feel that one gets when introduced to the HS jungle. Driver's Ed at a local HS pissed me off back in the day. NEVER had I been so marginalized by adults (and never was again
). Other than that, Id say that this flick was nothing more than a cover of all those older HS movies: the same cookie cutter plot, just polished and updated for today (read: homeschool plotline vis a vis say, exchange student).
Out of all the teenybopper HS movies (She's All That, etc., etc.) this one reminded my EXTREMELY of
Jawbreaker, which is definitely a MUST SEE film for anyone that gets a kick out of these kind of films.
Ah....if only JB wasnt packed away, I mightve watched it for an encore.
I will say though: they have GOT to stop using ADULTS to play CHILDREN. That man had a shadow of a full beard...
