Mean Girls

Despite the fact that Lindsay Lohan is the key character in the movie Mean Girls, it's unbelievably good (it's not that I don't like lohan's acting, it's just that all her movies blow). This teen flick is about a home-schooled girl from Africa who transfers to a big high school for the first time. She soon learns that, at an American high school, intelligence will get you no where and everything will be judged by what you wear and who you hang out with. Lohan learns the price of popularity in this hilarious tale.
What I loved so much about Mean Girls was that the writers were'nt agraid to 'go there'. They dissected the stereotypes of high school and played them out so well; it was offensive in a way where you're like "hey, that's just wrong, but it is very, very funny." Some parts seemed like they would be written from a teen's view (like when they're getting a sex talk, and the teacher says "don't have sex. you will get pregnant and you will die") That may be why it did so well in the box office.
