It's such an excellent movie that I watch when my parents go out. I love it! I own it on DVD and got it for my 13th birthday over two years ago. I recommend you watch this - it may teach you a few moral rules.

I like this movie a lot. It's a great movie. It's funny. It's a movie about high school. Most of the time this movies are about popularity, just like this one. It's wasn't a suprising movie, but it doesn't need to be suprising. It's a movie that is made to make people laugh and watch relaxed. And that it did. It maked me relax and smile. That is why movies like this are made. They have like a message that everyone has allready heard, but their is a message. It's a movie I could watch more than one time and that makes it a good movie. During the movie you had no boring parts or not much. That is verry important in a movie. That it's not boring. Lindsay Lohan is not my favourite actress, but I do think this was quit a good performens. I like this movie, like I allready said. I could even say : I love it.

I'm not usually into snotty teens putting people down, but this movie wasn't as bad as I anticipated. I'm not fond of Lindsay Lohan's actions, but she is a good actress and played her part well. The cliques in this high school were pretty realistic, and I thought it was funny how her new friend was gay Regina, the queen bee of the school, is a huge backstabbing b****, but she is soon outsnobbed by Cady. In the end, they all learn to get along and conquer the gossip and shallowness. Not a bad movie.

This is one of my favorite movies. It shows the peer pressure that most teens have to deal with. It was a great movie.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
i loved how they had 'mean girls' you just loved to hate and how they were so gorgeous that Cady was just drawn to them.
this is a great movie that portrays all the big aspects of being a teenager and the difficulties you have to face.
and it doesn't hurt that you can see this movie every day for a week and not get tired of it.

A teen movie thats more than just great. I can watch this movie so many times and never get bored. Tina Fey did a great job with this movie, and casting Rachel Mac Adams in this film was the right choice to make. She completely fit into the character she played just right. If you're not a big chick flick fan, you should watch this movie anyway. It is that good.

This is a really good movie...Sometimes when revenge is set you might lose yourself in the way. She lost herself during the way and her friends as well...

  There's a sly intelligence at work here -- in the writing, the filmmaking and the acting -- that makes it deeply pleasurable to watch.

  Mean Girls has the same fancifully dead-on tone as the 1995 high-school comedy "Clueless" without the sweetness because, hey, these snits are mean.

  The screenplay by Tina Fey -- head writer for "Saturday Night Live" -- is marvelously smart, though, and the ensemble cast is uncannily in sync with it.

  A vinegary fable with a Splenda aftertaste -- is a harbinger of hope not only for future feminist comedies of any grit but also for ''SNL''-staffed feature films that don't disproportionately suck.

  Though not a perfect comedy, it manages to be quite often laugh-out-loud funny. The film's strong cast, including scene-stealing "SNL"er Tim Meadows as the school principal, also helps smooth out most of the rough edges.

  Likable Lohan doesn't exude the vulnerability that would give the movie true heart, and Fey, head writer for "Saturday Night Live," crafts better punch lines than plots.

  The plot is flimsy, but director Mark Waters (Freaky Friday) trusts Fey's tart dialogue to carry the day. Wise man. Fey subverts formula to find comic gold. She's a brash new voice in movie comedy. Boy, do we need her now.

  Mean Girls dissects high school society with a lot of observant detail, which seems surprisingly well-informed. The screenplay by "Saturday Night Live's" Tina Fey is both a comic and a sociological achievement.

  Mean Girls depicts the kind of traumatic high school experience that might await spoiled rich girls who grow up in two-parent households with designer clothes and Escalades.

  As in "The House of Yes'' and "Freaky Friday,'' Waters keeps it wild but real, and the result is not only a series of lively scenes but lively close-ups: The big-eyed, expressive performances are just fun to watch.
