Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

In a world of teeny-bopper movies and TV shows, it's hard to sit down and be able to watch something that resembles real teen life. Thank goodness, we've got MEAN GIRLS. This movie stays completely realistic to the wild life that is high school and the terror that is popularity. Anyone who's actually been to high school will be able to tell you that despite what some people say, it's not exactly the best time of your life. And with the brilliant mind of Tina Fey, we've got none of that "You're my best friend and I love you!" garbage that never really happens. Instead, we see high school just how it really is--a jungle. MEAN GIRLS is narrated by Cady Heron, a girl who's lived and been homeschooled in Africa for her entire life, is starting her junior year in a real school. Cady, who's never been faced with the pressure of popularity, is amazed to learn that high school is a lot like animals fighting for prey back in Africa. But high school is much, much worse. I really how the movie kept comparing high school to the battle of the fittest. After all, that's pretty much what high school really is. You've got the popular girls, the jocks, the popular Asians, the geeky Asians, and much more. Clearly, the strongest survive and the weak die. One of the best details of the movie is the great acting. Lindsay Lohan (Cady) is fabulous. I'm amazed at how she was able to develop from a very sweet young girl into your typical popular high school girl. And although Rachel McAdams (Regina) is a little too old to be playing the part of a popular high school junior, I fell in love with her role. She's so pretty, and was able to steal all the scenes she was in. All the other actors were fabulous too, and there isn't one actor I hd a problem with. Another great part is the dozens and dozens are the great jokes that had me laughing from beginning to end. If you haven't seen MEAN GIRLS today, I recommend buying the DVD. Not only will you find yourself watching it over and over again, but I love the special features. The bloopers are hilarious, and gives you a really interesting look at what happens behind the scenes. Also, I love the deleted scenes, especially since some of them answer minor questions you may have had. However, all that's important is that somehow, you get to see the movie. Adults and teenagers (but not little kids) will love this movie to pieces. This is definitely a classic for the teen film category. Great job, Tina Fey, for giving me a fantastic two hours!
