Mean Girls
Mean Girls (2004), Mark Waters:
Poor Lindsay Lohan. She would've been a star if she stayed like this and didn't get get all trashy lookin'. Next stop: Natasha Lyonne.
I'm still a little confused why she's still doing tween movies when Rachel McAdams has since established herself in widerstream movies [edit: Rachel McAdams is 10 years older than Lindsay? Well done].
The movie itself is from the standard mold of teen movies (more 80's than 90's), highlighting the pitfalls of high school living. Lindsay's just so damned charismatic it's hard not to like it. The movie gets a muddled when it starts really pushing the moral and whenever it tries to do the Comedy-in-Truth thing. Thankfully, the teen movie can do without being elegant.
10/15
