This is one of the most re-watchable movies I've seen and probably one of the most quotable movies of my time. I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out, and it still holds up now. Rachel McAdams is great, I'm a huge fan of hers. Plus, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler can do no wrong.
This film is so fetch!
When it comes to chick flicks being a guy and all this comes off the best one out of a lot I've seen, and Lindsay Lohan's best for me before she went down hill. It speaks to you, it's got a good point of view in it's story plot, and great script, and not forgetting full of laugh out loud moments XD
I like a cliché teenage chick flick? Mhm, you found my guilty pleasure. These films are usually my biggest problem in the film industry because of their corniness; lack of originality; and obnoxious acting, however, Mean Girls is fucking hilarious. Mean Girls is so fetch! Mean Girls is quotable as fuck. I never thought I’d ever like this movie, but oops, I guess I’m another basic bitch. I probably should just start wearing pink on Wednesday’s already, right? If I don’t, wouldn’t that just be basically social suicide!?
On October 3rd, he asked what day is was. I love this movie.
Oh my god, Karen, you can't just ask someone why they're white!
00’s insensitivity will likely be a barrier to entry for new viewers.
A classic I will find time to rewatch. Especially today on Mean Girls day.
This movie doesn't need physical humor (or at least it doesn't abuse it) to make you laugh. It has many elements (dialogues, outfits, etc.) that have remained for pop culture. My favorite part is the character development and the message of the movie. I don't give it a 10 because although these aspects are good, they can be improved.
the plot twist when regina put her own picture in the burn book ugh fight club could never
"Stop trying to make fetch happen!"
I avoided this movie for a long time because I thought it was going to be a rom com but I was a fool. I put this on from time to time because it is clever and just so good. After rewatching I think it might be a perfectly cast comedy.
so many twists i did not expect. wow
this movie is awesome!my teacher said that i'm lindsay lohan
Teenage boys might be sulky and thuggish, but everyone knows that teenage girls are superior when it comes to the refinements of psychological torture. Mean Girls, Mark Waters' high-school survival story, fizzes with peculiarly feminine evil, of the kind that comes dripping through a pillowy smirk garnished with baby-pink lip gloss. Our field-guide in the world of warring American schoolgirl cliques is Cady (Lindsay Lohan), a 15- year-old who has been raised – and home-tutored – in the African bush by her zoologist parents. Bush life has not prepared her for the jungle that is North Shore High School, a conceit that was laboured just enough to make me grateful that Waters didn't take it any further. Mean Girls is inspired by the factions described in Rosalind Wiseman's best-selling dissection of vicious teenage mores: Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends and Other Realities of Adolescence. At North Shore High, blonde Regina George (Rachel McAdams) is the undisputed Queen Bee of a clique called the Plastics: a strutting, bitchy trio with super-skimpy designer clothes, dazzling teeth and cleavages that would do a Las Vegas pole-dancer proud.
it was a funny movie, but i think it would be awkward to watch it with family.
This is like scarface but with less coke, hella fetch/10
most of the film is honestly whip-smart, witty, and hilarious. and the cast just rules! it’s just sad that the ending feels a bit rushed and cliché.
After hearing, repeatedly, that this is a Must Watch movie, I can now say, I have, and, I understand why people call it iconic. It was not what I expected. The point of the movie was not to model the Mean Girl, which is what I expected (and which I had no interest in perpetuating). It’s actually quite the opposite. It demystifies the stereotype while having no intention, whatsoever, to be anything other than a comedy. The casting is incredible. The humour is spot on. It is forever being covertly quoted. It is rewatchable and truly iconic. I give this film an 8 (grool) out of 10. [Comedy]
It’s a classic with a lot of memorable scenes and funny moments, but the amount of slurs ruin what could have otherwise been a great movie.
A good, steady satire of teen popularity and social cliques from the mind of Tina Fey. Like the best of its SNL siblings it's endlessly quotable and wears its heart on its sleeve, though it's not as rapid-fire funny as elder statesmen like Wayne's World or Tommy Boy. A fresh-faced Lindsay Lohan takes the leading role where it's meant to go, but stops short of adding anything to the production. That's probably best left in the hands of her co-stars, anyway; a waspy trio of entitled blonde brats who are satisfyingly, but not irredeemably, malevolent. Former castmates Fey, Tim Meadows and Amy Poehler are all excellent in supporting roles, but refuse to overshadow the young leads. Chances are, if you've attended high school in the last twenty years, you'll see a few faces you recognize here and appreciate their forthcoming boot in the ass.
I hate how this is my most watched movie...
So many underrated lines:
> "I'm kind of psychic. I have a fifth sense."
"What do you mean?"
"It's like I have ESPN or something."
> "Is butter a carb?"
> "Coach Carr, step away from the underage girls."
Everyone talks about Rachel McAdams, but Lizzy Caplan as Janis is equally iconic.
I was resistant to watching this for a long time, but it actually was a well done movie. Some jokes don't agree well, but as a whole, it kept me engaged.
With the release of Mean Girls The Musical, it came to my sisters' attention that I had never seen the original and they felt the need to correct that oversight. I'm glad they did. This movie is genuinely clever and hilarious. Tina Fey knocks it out of the park on the writing and the performances from the entire ensemble really sell it. Turns out there's a reason this is so heavily quoted.
The girl falling back in the wheelchair got me real good. Such an iconic movie.
How is Rachel McAdams great in everything, she needs to be in more comedies.
We all need a friend like Damian.
Surprisingly a lot of fun!
I wouldn't have predicted me liking 'Mean Girls', but I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. The first half is stronger than what follows and it does wrap up a bit too harmoniously, though all in all it has good intentions and is unexpectedly consistently amusing.
Lindsay Lohan appears in a similar role to what I've seen elsewhere from her across this era, nevertheless she does put in a very good performance. Rachel McAdams is excellent, strangely likeable despite playing an unlikeable character. The rest of the cast are pleasant as well, e.g. Lizzy Caplan, Tina Fey and Tim Meadows.
Interested to see how the sequel and remake turned out. As for this one, it's entertaining!
If this was released now, it wouldn't. The jokes are decent, but it's the one liners that get me the most, especially with the dramatic acting. Get in the looser, we're going shopping. They weren't lying when they called this a drama. It's not really my type of thing, so I got very bored, but for what it is, it's watchable. Everything else about this is classic early 2000s.
my absolute favorite movie ever. so iconic!!
This movie is a classic for a reason. It’s got so many quotable lines, and lovable (or hatable) characters. The irony being this movie would not go over well in 2022 as it seeks to offend so many different stereotypes. HOWEVER, easily the “best” movie of many of these actors careers. This is certainly not the last time I will watch this movie!
Rating: 4.5/5 - 9/10 - Highly Recommend
"Glen Coco? Four for you, Glen Coco. You go, Glen Coco."
As you've noticed by my rating, it's not as high as most people rate it. By the end of the film, at the Spring Fling, I considered giving it one more heart (well, with my second viewing, I did, so this whole paragraph is irrelevant now). Moreover, despite not doing that, I feel like my rating is closer in that direction. Since most people gave the highest rating, my lower rating is not to say I thought this film wasn't that good; it's not even a low rating, tbh. While I didn't necessarily find this film funny (and certainly not laugh-out-loud funny), there's no denying the iconicness that this film possesses; it's a classic regardless if you didn't unconditionally love it.
But I had to look away from the screen a few times; second-hand embarrassment plagues me without effort. For example, how Cady's a new student: the awkwardness that'll come with it, and her interactions with The Plastics stemming from that; that high school environment is the go-to in films for handing out second-hand embarrassment to people. And the dance sequence. Part of me hates it, getting plagued by second-hand embarrassment, as I don't want to switch to a different tab or minimize the browser, but I can't physically handle it: it's too much. Real life would be way worse for me, lacking social skills but possessing social anxiety. This film was a gold mine of cringe.
On the plus side, that wasn't the whole film. It eased off a little into the film, to my surprise. Watching became bearable in the middle to the end. But you could say I was still on guard, waiting to be hit by another attack. And it's always the first viewing due to the unknown; subsequent viewings can be appreciated more properly and without such a distraction.
This film, more its premise, isn't anything special. I don't think it's that different or anything like that. I don't have much to say about the themes. I suppose it's accurate, relatable, and well done, but I can't relate. What sets this film apart, however, is the execution. I'm unable to delve into that, but you can tell and feel the effectiveness of essentially everything; if that was lucky, praise luck. I doubt you can say the same for 99.9% of films similar to this one. This one could even be the format; I have no idea. It sure must be the inspiration, the one to beat/surpass.
The leading aspects were, without a doubt, the characters and the dialogue. All of the former seem to have such a charm about them; a sign of good characterization, I suppose. They're particularly memorable and likable (even when dislikable/hatable), which goes a long way. And the dialogue, while initially goofy and on the surface, was, in actuality, well-written: or maybe delivered much better than similar dialogue in other films; a case of how good delivery can enhance dialogue, whether objectively or subjectively terrible, perhaps? It's, by far, the most quotable dialogue I've heard, also.
The performances were great, especially by Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Amanda Seyfried. Sorry for the slander, Lacey Chabert. But, hey. Gretchen Wieners invented fetch, and she did make it happen. Lindsay's acting after that argument between Janis and Cady was great. Acting-wise, she was the best, but Rachel gave the best performance; Regina George is iconic. Amanda had great comedic timing; she nailed Karen Smith's slow-wit.
My favorite character was lowkey Janis Ian, and she was lowkey the hottest. Naturally, Regina George was right up there, as well as Cady Heron. An underrated character who I thought was great was the principal; Tim Meadows was great.
And the most surprising thing was the potential pairings aided by these romantic undertones, and even though Tina Fey didn't go there, they wouldn't have seemed forced. It may not have been intentional, but I liked it. You could have Janis and Regina, Regina and Cady, Janis and Cady, and so on. At the same time, that's probably my raging heterosexuality talking, and naturally, I love it, both superficially and genuinely.
But at the risk of sounding sexist, I feel this film is tailored for women and specifically loved/adored by women. I know the depiction of high school/the themes to go with that aren't exclusive to only women, and I imagine that also plays a factor in its popularity; it's well done. But there's no denying that the majority audience (who loved it) seems to be women. That's not a bad thing. I suppose what I am trying to say (in a massive generalization) is that maybe, as a guy, this film isn't as appealing to me as it would be if I were a woman for some reason.
It could be more accurate to say it's since I didn't go to high school and experience high school generally, particularly the things this film depicts. I don't know. It's like there was something to grasp, but I missed it: more enjoyment, and it was left unachieved because I've never unlocked the skills required (in a video game way) to achieve it.
However, I enjoyed watching this film despite feeling like I could've found it more enjoyable depending on certain things. It seems remarkably rewatchable, with probably the highest re-watchability I've encountered yet. I'm already finding myself thinking about it/looking back on it in my head in a reminiscing, nostalgic manner. 'Iconic' is a word that exists to describe this film.
Just watched this before my flight in two hours and it was a good company. 7.0/10
What we need is a true sequel to this movie that has Regina George in it.
I just watched this movie for the first time and I can DEFINITELY see why this has a giant cult following! This was one of the best and funniest movies I've ever seen, and is totally worth all the hype! 9/10!
This movie so fetch and so quotable. I love some evil Rachel McAdams.
Still one of the best teen movies ever.
I have not seen this movie before but I was less than impressed. Bad acting and the story is kind of… well… yeah… it's not even that funny. Maybe it was 13 years ago but now it's definitely not really for me.
Gezien op i-pad als test . Puber film ...

Watching MEAN GIRLS for the first time was just one "Oh, so that's where that comes from!" after another. #iunderstoodthatreference
