    Not as funny as I was expecting. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either.

    Its ok, not really my kind of film though. I liked it when the annoying girl got hit by a bus and there are some good performances. I even laughed once or twice!

    So mean. No wonder I hated school.

    I love how they paint high school up towards the viewers. I find high school nothing like it. It's a good movie for just a night with the girls.

    Demeaning and irritating. Badly overhyped.

    Obviously written by Americans (sorry to anyone I might offend) who think all Africans come from the bushveld. And I don't even delete stars for that. But maybe Tina Fey is right; because I never had to deal with this crap when I was i...( read more)n high school.

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

Nails the "survival of the fittest" mentality that permeates high school social life. full review

August 1, 2004
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

I would be more amused if the topic of rich material girls had not been worn to a thread elsewhere. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Mean Girls isn't a particularly deep picture, but it does have some weight and ballast. full review

April 30, 2004
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Tart and refreshing, Mean Girls is the kind of high-school movie that really feels as if it's for grown-ups -- but hey, the teens can come, too. full review

April 30, 2004
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Fey subverts formula to find comic gold. full review

April 30, 2004
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Lohan ... is a good reactive young actress, and London, Ont., native Rachel McAdams is excellently evil. full review

April 30, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

In a wasteland of dumb movies about teenagers, Mean Girls is a smart and funny one. full review

April 29, 2004
David Edelstein, Slate

Even at its squarest, the movie's mixture of parody and therapy feels kind of... hip. full review
