A Movie Review: Mean Girls

Mean Girls.  So how is it that I'm finally catching a movie that was a:  box office hit, filled with future movie stars and had Lindsay Lohan at the top of her game?  No explanation.  This is a fun high school take down movie.  I suppose most high school kids (boys and girls) have these sort of fantasy take down thoughts.  I'm betting even "Plastics" have these type of thoughts.

Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) spent her youth in Africa.  Her family moves back to America and she needs to navigate through the cultural land mind that is high school with no real context. The first day of school is tough, but she quickly becomes friends with a couple outcasts: Janis Ian (Lizzy Caplan) and Damian (Daniel Franzese). If Cady had grown up in America, she'd probably never have become friends with these two individuals. By chance, she also becomes involved with The Plastics led by Regina George (Rachel McAdams).  The Plastics are the three hotties in the high school.  Janis, Damian and Cady decide to take down Regina.  Of course, when Cady becomes part of The Plastics she finds that being popular is addictive.
