This may be one of the most abysmal movies I have ever seen. It surprises and disgusts me that it has a rating as high as it does. First of all, it basically sets the feminist movement back to the 1920s. It is offensive to both genders and portrays women as up-tight whiny control freaks and men as heartless and and arrogant jerks who only want sex. I hated the main characters and I honestly didn't care what happened to them. The jokes weren't at the least bit funny. I did not laugh once in this movie, mostly just cringed at the horrible dialog. If you like annoying, unintelligent, and disgusting humor, by all means go out and rent The Ugly Truth. If you you like Romantic Comedys that are actually funny and not grossly insulting, I highly advise you to watch something else.

When I saw the commercials to this on Mtv, I thought it was going to be great. Boy was I let down. I expected this to really reach out to the out casts, nerds, and teen angst kids in high school. Instead I get a whiny bitch who complains about everything. I seriously can't stand Liz Lee. The whole show is just her complaining. She even has a list of things that she hates. I don't even understand what she's complaining about. She's pretty, wealthy, a talented singer, has a great wardrobe, a great group of friends, and she even has her own TV show for god sakes! I can't believe she is perceived as a protagonist when she acts just as class less as the means girls, yet her behavior is somehow justified since she's not "preppy." I can't believe people have the nerve to compare to this to the awesome show "Daria." I give this three stars because her friends are really funny. Why isn't this show about them?

Mean Girls has everything a great teen movie should have. It has a fantastic script with lines that people are stilling quoting, 7 years later. The characters are funny, relateable, and have depth. You can find something you like about the protagonists, and something you don't like about the antagonists. The plot is unpredictable and interesting. What more from a teen movie could you want? I think a lot of people who gave this movie a low rating are missing the point. This movie is not supposed to be taken completely seriously. Its exaggerated on purpose to be funny. It's not telling your teenage daughter to go out and act like a bitch. If you think that, then you obviously completely missed the message. In conclusion, if you are looking for a light squeaky clean teen comedy, Mean Girls is not for you. If you want something hilarious with great dialog and essences of classics like Heathers, go out and rent this movie.
