Hit– Starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, Tina Fey, Tim Meadows. Screenplay by Tina Fey

Cady Heron (Lohan) has been raised in Africa since she can remember. Once her family has to return to America , and Cady has to attend a local high school, it is time to put her Darwin’s survival of the fittest theory to the test. Cady joins the Plastics and begins to see that school social hierarchies are all about who you can defeat. When Cady realizes that the leader of the Plastics (Regina played by McAdams) tries to repeatedly manipulate Cady, she in turn decides to use manipulation to bring Regina down. This causes Cady to become a “Mean Girl.� While I do not believe that Lindsay Lohan is the best thing since sliced bread, I do feel that this girl has talent and will be around for a long time. This movie shows us a few other up and coming stars, including Rachel McAdams. Rachel is also featured in the summer blockbuster The Notebook. I feel this movie is a clear social commentary of high school that has a lot of truth. The three way calling sabatoge, the slam book, talking behind each other’s backs, etc. It makes me never want to go back to high school. The one problem I had with this movie was the character played by Tina Fey. There is no way that a high school teacher would wear, act, or speak in the manner in which her character does. Bottom Line: Every high school student should see this movie. And any boy that loves Lohan, this is a great movie to oogle her goodies.

Best Scene: The Halloween party where Lohan dresses as the ugly witch.
