Mean Girls

A lot of movies nowadays get there inspiration from the bitchiness of school girls since Heathers defined the genre fifteen years ago. Mean Girls was written by Daniel Waters and based on his sisters high school experience, the family connection has now extended to Waters younger brother Mark who is the director of the latest glimpse into the Machiavellian world of teenage girls. Mean Girls takes a broader approach, it has a playful, irreverent edge rather than the cute feel that is often adopted. Mean Girls is the second time that Mark Waters and Lindsay Lohan have worked together following their collaboration on the successful freaky Friday. Although Mean Girls was made with much wit and whimsy, making it an enjoyable distraction. Mean Girls received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $384,042,871 worldwide. It has also been praised as one of Lindsay Lohans break out film roles.
