Mean Girls (2004)

This is an imperfect-but-creditable movie. Cady (Lindsay Lohan) is a 15-year-old girl who grew up in Africa and was home-schooled by her zoologist parents. After they move to Illinois, she is put into a public school for the first time and feels out of place. On her first day, she meets a gothic girl and a gay guy who are social outcasts. They warn her to stay away from the stylish trio of girls known as, the plastics. She befriends the popular clique, but when they prevent her from dating Aaron, she retaliates.

The script was written by Tina Fey and is based on the 2002 self-help book "Queen Bees and Wannabes" by Rosalind Wiseman. A few other actors from Saturday Night Live also appear in the film: Tim Meadows, Ana Gasteyer, and Amy Poehler. The character Janis Ian is named after the Grammy Award winning singer. The film was partially shot in Toronto, Canada. Mariah Carey is a fan of the movie.
