Marvin U Always a joy to rewatch even after 20 years. Looking forward to the 25th anniversary! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Audience Member While this film truly seems juvenile- its not terrible in getting its point across. This edition of Mean Girls is a lot better than its counterpart- a retelling of then story that is adapted in musical form. While this movie is now over 2 decades old- it tells a good story about high school teen drama and can relate to all of us as something we probably have all dealt with in our lives. Starring Rachel McAdams, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert, Tina Fey and Tim Meadows- this teen drama truly shows what it is like to be a "mean girl" as the title implies. 3/5 stars for this one- and I would see this over the current retelling edition. It is just so much better than that edition and its noticeable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review jolin t meaningful, funny, and the costume design is beyond. Mean girls is perfect for its time yet never gets old. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Aiden K My sister loves this movie 6.6/10 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Kevin P A very funny and sharp satire and surprisingly subversive approach to the “high school mean girl” subject that was ironically so often imitated without getting the true lesson of the story. A surprisingly empathetic theme about how often teenage girls are unintentionally conditioned by patriarchal pressures of self-hatred and projection that in the long run just makes it easier for men to call them the same thing. Everyone kills it comedically and it’s refreshing with how intense the main Queen Bee Regina George is. Unlike its imitators, this movie understands that toxic teenage girl bullying is so often done behind each other’s backs with sneaky passive aggressive backstabbing and judgement rather than the stereotypical way of directly making fun of someone in their face. Hell, even the stereotypical “revenge on the mean girl” plan is subverted and called attention to its cruelty. AND it’s stated right away with a self-aware plan set up by the 2 outcast friends instead of the tropey “Oh no I don’t like you anymore”. The movie is very quotable and has started so many internet memes that I didn’t even realize were from this movie. Admittedly, the movie does play a few of the teen drama tropes straight near the end of the middle chunk, but it serves its purpose and is skimmed over pretty quickly before we get to the surprisingly mature ending. It isn’t perfect, but this movie is all about the beauty of imperfections. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Jeff S The most fetch, 6/5 stars.
