Mean Girls

Consider this to be 2004’s Heathers, the 1989 touchstone for all movies about high school cliques. It’s not a rip-off but a timely variation – so attuned to the nuances of the teenage world of its time, for girls in particular, that its emotional accuracy
qualifies as brilliance. Lindsay Lohan stars as a homeschooled girl thrust into the social maze of a public high school, but screenwriter and co-star Tina Fey, of Saturday Night Live, deserves most of the kudos.
