Reviews for Mean Girls
A smart little teen picture that, for a change, actually features recognizable teens.

Top Critica fascinatingly adroit dissection of high school culture

Kind of makes you wish you were back at school. Kind of.

I would be more amused if the topic of rich material girls had not been worn to a thread elsewhere.
08/01/04
One of those rare treasures, a well-written teen comedy.
07/26/04
Fey's stinging wit has been reined in to secure a PG-13 rating, it's still cuts above The Ladies Man and the awful A Night at the Roxbury.

Frequently hilarious teen comedy with a witty script and likeable characters -- this is further proof that Lindsay Lohan is fast becoming THE teen star of the noughties.

The girls may be mean, but I’ve got nothing nasty to say about this praise-worthy flick.
06/18/04
There's nothing here you won’t have seen a million times before, but -- despite its shortcomings -- it's still one of the better teen movies to come along in a while.

Proof that Hollywood occasionally gets it right
06/16/04
Far from perfect, but it has brains beneath its glossy, vacuum-packed beauty.
06/15/04
More wholesome than mean, but still very funny (if you can stomach the homespun moral at the end).
06/11/04
It is precisely this intelligence, and Fey's refusal to talk down to her audience, that elevates Mean Girls above most other teen movies out there.
06/08/04
I've seen worse and other than a teenager, I really don't know who to recommend this movie for. And even then you may have wished that you waited to rent it.

Lindsay Lohan continues to impress as a former child star walking the tightrope toward adulthood.
05/28/04
A teen movie I enjoyed enormously, much to my surprise.
