Mean Girls 2004

A good, steady satire of teen popularity and social cliques from the mind of Tina Fey. Like the best of its SNL siblings it's endlessly quotable and wears its heart on its sleeve, though it's not as rapid-fire funny as elder statesmen like Wayne's World or Tommy Boy. A fresh-faced Lindsay Lohan takes the leading role where it's meant to go, but stops short of adding anything to the production. That's probably best left in the hands of her co-stars, anyway; a waspy trio of entitled blonde brats who are satisfyingly, but not irredeemably, malevolent. Former castmates Fey, Tim Meadows and Amy Poehler are all excellent in supporting roles, but refuse to overshadow the young leads. Chances are, if you've attended high school in the last twenty years, you'll see a few faces you recognize here and appreciate their forthcoming boot in the ass.
