    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the scene where Cady was asked if her "muffin was buttered," the line was originally going to be, "Is your cherry popped?" The same went for the girl who "made out with a hot dog"; this was going to be "masturbated with a hot dog." These were omitted in order for the film to gain a PG-13 rating instead of an R.
    • Goofs
      After the Junior girls start freaking out and beating each other up over the Burn Book, the principal stops them by pulling a fire alarm and setting off the sprinklers, which drenches everyone. Then he orders them all to the gym immediately. When they get there, everyone is dry.
    • Quotes

      Karen: If you're from Africa, why are you white?

      Gretchen: Oh my God, Karen, you can't just ask people why they're white.

    • Alternate versions
      The teacher talking German in the beginning of the movie speaks French in the German dubbed version.

    Hilarious
    This movie is an easy one to enjoy over and over again. I think how funny you find the story is relative to your age. As someone newly out of high school, I can tell you that the high school clicks portrayed in this film are a bit far-fetched. I have never heard someone say "you can't sit with us" or of being called "too gay to function". This movie is still simply witty and smart with a story line that is far different from the main stream movies that come out today.
