I just do! This movie rocks! Its really about this girl about in highschool,meeting these asewome girls at lunch.(Well,she thinks they are asewome) and they have a party,playdate,etc.but then they get really mean.It should only be "PG" also. There is no swearing,sexual content,or teen parting. Mabye it should just be "PG PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUCCEDED" SOME MATERIAL MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN:For some brief mild languange.

Mean Girls is absalutely class its really funny my favourite characters are Katie Haren and Regina George as they are so totally cool. It is one of my favourite movies as its really funny and beasty its like totally cool.

mean girls is d coolest movie EVER!!!!!!!!!! it so realistic and funny....... lol its just cool!!!

Mean Girls is a definite "must-see" for any Lindsay Lohan fan. This movie isn't just for teenage girls either. It is a good comedy (surprising, considering some of the cast are from Saturday Night Live - past and present) with some very realistic high school portrayals. I watched the movie with my wife and daughter, but almost every other person in the theater was of high school age; I heard a lot of people mumbling about how accurate a lot of the stereotyping mentioned in the movie is (in other words, parts of the movie reminded them of their school, today).

As always, Lindsay Lohan played her part to perfection; she has more talent than most Hollywood actresses. Lohan plays the part of a formerly home-schooled (in Africa) teenager who enters a typical high school after her parents move back to America. She makes friends with two misfits who layout the general explanation of what Cady (Lohan) Heron is about to experience at the Illinois public school; a place where the students have given the word "diversity" a whole new meaning - mainly, "separate and NOT equal"! Geeks hang with geeks; the jocks hag with jocks. You get the picture.

One group, The Plastics, have supreme status over most the other groups, especially in their ability to belittle the rest. Rachel McAdams is excellent as the leader of The Plastics; I could not picture any other actress playing this part as well. Her character drags Cady into her inner-circle and the fun begins.

There are a lot of great supporting actors and actresses in this film. Most notably, Lizzy Caplan almost stole the show with her incredible performance as Janis Ian, one of the misfits who befriends Cady. She was in Orange County and a few lesser known films and TV shows, but man can she act!

There are also a few "not so good" performances. Tim Meadows is a great guy, but he seemed to be in skit-mode in this movie. Same goes for Amy Poehler and Ana Gasteyer; they never seemed to fit on the silver screen as well as Tina Fey did. I think Fey fits the silver-screen well. I mean she is beautiful, smart, and has a great smile - yep, a star is born!

I enjoyed this movie; most of the people in the theater seemed to enjoy it (by the way, every show was sold-out); and if you think Lindsay Lohan is one of the hottest stars around, you'll enjoy this movie too. Don't let the few lackluster performances scare you away; Amanda Seyfried, Jonathan Bennett, Daniel Franzese, Lizzy Caplan, Lacey Chabert, Tina Fey, Rachel McAdams, and Lohan all turn in GREAT performances, worthy of ticket price or future DVD purchase.

On thing I haven't mentioned is the message of this movie: We need to worry more about ourselves, and that we shouldn't put others down just to make ourselves look better. I think the movie managed to get that message across without being too corny. (...)

Mean Girls is a wonderful film which takes a humorous look at the antics of high school girsl. The movie is fast paced with many funny moments under the direction of Mark Waters. Amy Poehler is delightful is one of the mothers. Lindsay Lohan gives a completely believable performance. You will love it..

This movie was not intended to be a children's movie. That's why it got a PG-13 rating, and parents should heed that warning before taking younger children to see it. There are lots of reviews that shame this movie for "not being suitable for children," but it never claimed to be. Just because it stars Lindsay Lohan, a teenipop queen, does not mean that it was meant for her younger fans. Don't be fooled by the casting choices when choosing a movie for your kids; FOLLOW THE RATING GUIDE. It's that simple.

For audience members of the target audience -- older teen girls -- this movie deserves an A++. Lindsay is a beautiful, talented actress and her career is only beginning. There are great things in her future, and in this movie -- like always -- she shines.

To be honest, I had low expectations for this film. From early previews it seemed to me another teen comedy with the same premise as the rest, often featuring a lead who is too perfect looking to pass off as a friendless high school student. But, I was suprised with "Mean Girls". Although you are somewhat embarrassed to say so, you have a great time and feel like you got your money's worth.

The story follows 16-year-old Cady (Lindsay Lohan), who after transferring from being homeschooled in Africa, to being the new student at an Illinois public school, must adapt to the often cruel, survival-of-the-fittest world of high school teenagers. From teachers and rules to fitting in with the crowd of unfamiliar faces, Cady struggles, but soon befriends the "art freaks" Damien (Daniel Franseze) and Janis (Lizzy Caplan), who explain to her the prominent cliques that exist. But soon, she is drawn to The Plastics, the most exclusive clique of all, where only the prettiest and richest girls are asked to join. The Plastics, made up of leader Regina George (Rachel McAdams), rich girl Gretchen Weiners (Lacey Chabert) and less-than brilliant Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried), soon invite her to be a part of them. At first, she accepts as a joke with Janis, but then, as she is elevated to teen royalty, she begins to grow accustomed to the world of The Plastics, and loses sight of her true friends. Things are made more complicated and claws come out when Cady falls for Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett), the ex-boyfriend of Regina.

As Cady, Lindsay Lohan gives a solid and likeable performance. She is one of the many rising teen stars, who finds relatively similar roles with each new project. However, unlike so many teen stars, she looks like someone you'd actually encounter at a high school. She doesn't have the perfect stererotypical body, and she's awkward at times, which adds to her realism and charm. Although she is excellent at what she does, I would like to see her in a deeper, more emotionally challenging role, perhaps something along the lines of Evan Rachel Wood's "Thirteen" performance. As for the other cast members, Rachel McAdams is sweet and treacherous as Regina, and doe-eyed Amanda Seyfried plays dumb to perfection. However, the highlight of the movie is the performance by Lacey Chabert. As the ever-loyal Gretchen, she is emotionally insecure and at times pathetic, and completely devotes herself to her character.

The script, written by SNL's Tina Fey, is smart and hilarious, but falters at points. It is a bit predictable, and some of the jokes fall flat, but overall, it is commendable and well-written. Inner monologues by Cady, and her comparisons of high school situations to that of the animal world are clever and original. Overall, although I have read reviews stating the contrary, I was very satisfied with "Mean Girls". It's an enjoyable, humorous, and clever look back at high school and the drama of teenage life.

Mean Girls is a coming of age comedy, I think. It's funnier than serious but not too stupid, if you get the gist of what I'm saying.
Lindsay Lohan was great. So were Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried, who's new to the big screen. All in all, everybody gave a great performance, especially whoever played Regina's mom (Rachel).
Tina Fey wrote a really great script, which has gotten me totally psyched for her future works. Her work on SNL has been admirable. Also, I'm not sure of his name, but another SNL alumni plays another one of Cady's teachers and you see him in the beginning, ("We have a new student joining us today") and he was also very funny.
MG is all about the high school world, cliques, and the consequences of actions and how they affect others. It teaches good moral lessons while being very comical.

If you are going to see any movie in theatres right now, you have to see "Mean Girls".

When I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought it would be another cliched teen comedy. I went to see it, and I was proved wrong.

You've read about the plot in other customer reviews, so I won't repeat it. The highlights of the movie are:

1. The script. Tina Fey has done an outstanding job writing this film. It was laugh-out-loud HILARIOUS!
2. The cast. Lindsay Lohan is getting to be a better actress with every movie she does. Oh, and the supporting cast is amazing, with Tina Fey among others. Rachel McAdams plays the Queen Bee of the "Plastics" perfectly, and her posse, Gretchen and Karen, are so so funny.
3. Its appeal. Female teens, as well as boys, will like this film... and their parents too!

IF YOU HAVE TO SEE ONE MOVIE, SEE "MEAN GIRLS"!

This movie was really good. I was laughing the whole time, I am blown away. It is about this girl named Cady(Lindsay Lohan) who moves from Africa to Evanston, IL and has been home schooled her whole life. Her parents send her to a public high school, where she finds out how girls are. She ends up hanging with a girl named Janis Ian, who is considered totally not popular. Then one day at lunch "the plastics" (the totally popular girls) ask Cady to sit with them at lunch and that is where everything starts. This is movie is all about one girl saying one thing and behind your back saying another. This movie is about sabotage and cat fights. The humor that comes along with this is hilarious. I never have liked this kind of movie this much!! Lindsay Lohan did an excellent job! This is a good teen movie! There is some crude language at some parts. I think people should definitely go see this movie!
