The square root of "Clueless", 4 November 2004
7/10
Author: George Parker from Orange County, CA USA

"Mean Girls" is another bop fodder comedy about a high school junior who, having been outschooled all her life, goes to public school and tries to become one of the in crowd, a trio of shallow hotties called the "Plastics", only to find she's become a back stabbing beyotch like them and subsequently realizing the error of her ways...yada-yada-yada. Always lively and light hearted, this slampoonfest of the teen female's peer pressure cooker problems is a fun romp full of the usual high school peer group stereotypes all slogging their way through campus social life. Fresh and funny if a tad silly (ok, a lot silly), "Mean Girls" will play best with teen females. (B)
