When Cady (Lindsay Lohan) moves to suburbia she has trouble fitting in until she learns to apply the law of the jungle to her high school rivals. This film was surprisingly decent. There’s more than a little bit of [i]Heathers[/i] in [i]Mean Girls[/i] and it’s predictable for the most part, but the jokes zing and some of the observations are fresh, making for a pretty funny movie. It’s funny enough, in fact, to ignore some of the more obvious plot problems. For example, we’re to believe that Cady has been so isolated she has no idea what the girls mean when they say, “Shut up!” Her reply is, “But I didn’t say anything.” However, she seems to be an expert in the application of makeup and even before the Plastics slutify her she’s got a pretty good fashion sense. But like I said, the movie is funny, so who cares if it doesn’t quite make sense. Also staring Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert and Amanda Seyfried.
