Mean Girls (Full Screen Edition) Reviews:
Not my favorite Lindsay movie 
2009-11-01 - I did not enjoy this movie. Why would I like this movie about mean girls when I could just go to a local school? Exactly. I'm always usually a Lindsay Lohan fan but this was not her best. I'm more of an Ali Lohan fan. I love Ali's movie "Mostly Ghostly." Better luck next time Lindsay!
Everybody in Africa speaks Swedish 
2009-10-19 - The word is plastic. What colour is plastic? I think I have always associated
the colour of plastic with the colour of Barbie Dolls, by Mattel Corporation.
But the truth is, plastic comes in all kinds of colours. And so, this movie
cannot be about the imperialistic, genocidal policies of European and
American expansion in Africa, for this movie is set in an American High
School with an African American principal who comes from the "South Side".
And even if this movie was about skin colour, you don't notice skin colour
but behaviour, when you watch this movie.
No, plastic, is about molding, in order to fit in. She hated the world, as did the
other plastics, but they needed to fit in, so that they might not get hit by a
giant bus.
I thought the way the movie ended was amazing. There was this primordial scream,
which immediately, for some odd reason, made me think of the movie, Terminator 3.
And then Regina goes on the warpath, culminating in her getting hit by a bus. And
finally, Cady matures and realizes that the plastics were trying to warn her, protect her,
from the world, being a child. Her realization comes too late, however, yet Regina is
still forgiving. She breaks her crown into little pieces, and hands them out to the crowd.
If you be plastic, they (the world) will attempt to break you. You have to blend in, so
that you might not get spotted in that jungle, called, the World. The plastics, were "the
nuns", pretending not to be. Life is easier, when you can convince others, that you are
one of them, while staying aloof, because you are better than they are, and as long as
you believe that, maybe they will too.
When Regina wrote what she wrote, about herself, I thought she was making one of those
self-affirmation posters, as in, "This is what to shoot for", because if they fear you, they
will respect you. It is the philosophy, that I think, was expressed by Niccolo Machievelli,
in his work, The Prince(ss). Network, it's who you know, and then, make them afraid of
you. After the school bus incident, everything changes. They go, deep deep undercover,
and are now indistinguishable from the world, from the others. She sees the young plastics
walk by, and her heart goes out for them. How to warn them, without getting noticed, by
the animals, the predators, in that jungle. Did they not catch her, They will break you as I
break this crown, sermon? Here cheetah, have a piece of plastic. Being the head predator,
I will divide the spoils. Brilliant. She is the head predator, but she is really yet, a plastic.
Reminds me of Darth Vader, Luke's father. Or do you really think a single X-Wing fighter
could take out the Death Star? The Death Star blows up, while Darth Vader is conveniently
off the base, in a Tie Fighter, chasing his son? How convenient. How plastic.
Sorry, Couldn't Get Into It 
2009-07-14 - Maybe it's just because I couldn't believe the Lindsay Lohan would be a genius at senior calculus. The girls are boring and I couldn't make myself care about their teacher or principle.
So Lohan has too groups of friends she's torn between. One is a bunch of girls who are beautiful but immoral. The other is a gay guy and ugly girl with a heart of gold. How many times have we seen this exact same story in American movies and TV shows? And then comes the predictable scene where a person in the loser group makes the friend something nice but has their heart broken before presenting it.
Boring, predictable and barely ever funny.
movie review 
2009-06-08 - Mean Girls (Special Collector's Edition)
great movie! Acting is outstanding and movie makes you laugh and have a great time
This movie is not just for teens/girls
2009-05-06 - Amazing flick. Great writing, great script, great acting, etc. and it includes Tina Fey, so little more needs to be said. However, this movie is for everyone, not just teens or girls. I'm an adult male (and yes, hetero), and I love this flick. It includes a lot of adult humor mixed in with the juvenile as well. There are some obvious egregious lapses in comic judgment (in the same way that saturday night live has become unwatchable), but overall, its a gem.
