That is like SO fetch!

Mean Girls, a Mark Waters film, still gets me every time. I find this work not only witty but real. I don't think that this movie is exaggerated because, being at an all girls school, we, maybe more than most girls, can relate to the actions of the teenage women in this movie. The narration by Cady (Lindsay Lohan) makes the film more personal yet does not narrow the perspective because we see a downside to Cady as well. The cinematography is simple yet adequate.

The "animalistic" nature of the girls in this movie is halarious and sometimes hard to watch. They use looks, money, and a sense of superiority to demean those who aren't "plastics". The irony of the movie is that, those that watch the actions take part in them as well. Despite and against their best interests, each clique becomes entangled in the events of this movie. Watch your back, but most importantly, watch this film.

P.S. I think some girls at this school, including myself, can learn a lot from the issues and themes presented through this film.
