Plot:
Raised in the African bush country by her zoologist parents, Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) thinks she knows all about the "survival of the fittest". But the law of the jungle takes on a whole new meaning when the home-schooled 15-year old enters public high school for the first time. Trying to find her place between jocks, mathletes, and other subcultures, Cady crosses paths with the meanest species of all - the Queen Bee, aka the cool and calculating Regina George (Rachel McAdams), leader of the school's most fashionable clique, The Plastics. When Cady falls for Regina's ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett), though, the Queen Bee is stung - and she schemes to destroy Cady's social future. Cady's own claws soon come out as she leaps into a hilarious "Girl World" war that has the whole school running for cover. IMDB

Review:
Like most teen movies - this movie is awful..

It might not have been so bad if every bad Saturday Night Live actor that can't manage to do anything else wouldn't have been in the movie.

The plot, I can deal with the plot.. even though a teenager who has lived in Africa for the last 12 years (even though she has a perfect American dialect.....) wouldn't know what a "hallpass" is and that you have to ask permission to go to the bathroom.....
The acting, the acting wasn't THAT bad..
And unfortunately there was some funny stuff here and there.
But the movie dragged.. and dragged.. and draaaaagggggeeeddd..

And.. the writer, Tina Fey (one of the worst SNL failures), wrote herself into almost every scene of the movie. And of course she was the saving grace of the movie and because of her the main character became a good person again.. *VOMIT*

It was a typical movie, very much follows any bad teen-movie mold.
They showed it on TV here, otherwise I wouldn't have gone anywhere near this movie.

Being nice, it receives:
