Surprised.......2007-08-16
This movie is awesome. I love Lindsay Lohan but I refused to see it in the theatre because I thought it looked like another dumb teen movie. I was wrong, it was funny and clever.
Mean Girls hmm?.......2007-07-19
I really can't review this item as I have not seen it. My wife loves it so for her I'll give it 3 stars.
curious.......2007-07-17
Does anyone else find it interesting that the protagonist in this movie is named Janis Ian, when a song by Janis Ian in the seventies named 'At Seventeen' follows this movie very closely?
They may be mean but this teen comedy is a very nice surprise..........2007-07-02
What I love so much about `Mean Girls' is that it stays hip and young yet is mature enough to reach further than the teen audience it was aiming at. The performances are surprisingly top notch, and the script is so tight that it's almost a wonder to me it didn't receive at least a screenplay nomination. It seriously is that good. The plot is different while still juggling the same popular girl/unpopular girl mentality of many high school movies. What makes `Mean Girls' so amazingly wonderful is the stellar chemistry between teen queens Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams (although McAdams is in her thirties). They are so in tune with their characters and even more so with each other that they feed off one another brilliantly and capture the pure essence of the script.
Lohan plays Cady (pronounced Katy), a young home schooled girl who's spent most of her life in Africa and is now thrown into the very foreign world of high school. She's the immediate outcast due to her social retardation, but she's quickly swept up by fellow social outcasts Janis and Damian. Cady also catches the eye of Regina, queen of the school and leader of The Plastics, teen royalty as their so affectionately coined (emote sarcasm). Janis and Damian devise a plan to infiltrate The Plastics layers using Cady as a pawn, getting her to become one of them in order to expose them for the evil they truly are.
The entire cast is truly up to the challenge, not just scene stealers Lohan and McAdams. Lizzy Caplan and Daniel Franzese are hilarious as Janis and Damian while Tina Fey is affective as Cady's teacher Ms. Norbury. To me though, one of the best supporting characters is Gretchen Wieners, played by Lacey Chabert. She has some of the best one-liners in the film and Lacey works wonders with creating a likable air-head with layers unlike the average stereotypical dumb girl. Tim Meadows works as well as he can with his character but he's not given much to work with so he comes off a little forced at times as if he's trying to make a big statement knowing he won't have many opportunities and it doesn't quite work as well as he'd like it to. Amy Poehler on the other hand uses her few minutes to work her comedic brilliance and makes a lasting impression.
The story unfolds effortlessly, taking us from Cady's first encounter with The Plastics to her eventual acceptance to her betrayal and to her redemption with such grace and elegance that the viewer is never left confused or put off. Another nod to the script is the fact that it makes narration tolerable. Some movies can pull it off but as a whole the idea of narration can get irritable and unnecessary. Here though some of the best lines in the film are just the words running through Cady's head and Lohan's voice over is natural and entertaining. One of the greatest teen comedies since `Clueless' and in my humble opinion it's even better than it's classic predecessor, `Mean Girls' is a triumph and a film that launched the careers of two of our most bankable teen leading ladies!

I thought this was a funny and clever picture. It also has a good message. Rachel McAdams is great as a "plastic".

Believe it or not, the Wild West did exist.......2007-09-12
A good TV film. The main characteristic is typical of TV films or mini-series. It is slightly too slow and it concentrates too much on close up shots of characters or faces, and less on action, vast movements that the TV screen cannot capture. The story itself is based on the life of Bill Hicock and Calamity Jane, and of course Buffalo Bill. You can find them in Cody, South Dakota, with the Buffalo Bill museum, but also the Colt Museum and the Indian village Museum. You can visit the reconstituted western village composed of all cabins and houses recuperated everywhere in the west, and of course the cemetery with the tombs of Bill Hicock and Calamity Jane and a few others. You also have the rodeo ground and the old western saloon where some wild cowboys regularly organize some real true false holdups and gunfights in the street. This film is a commemoration of this period when the wild west turned into the not so wild west and pretty soon the no longer wild west. The film is trying to show this period and these characters from inside their psyches and it is pretty sure not to become over-sentimental. But it provides us with a picture of that wild west that is rather interesting and definitely human. The other side of the traditional western films with the guns, the fights, and the dishonest settlers or exploiters of settlers. And it is good to have that other vision, particularly with the women, and why they came to the west. But also the nostalgia that inhabited the minds of the pioneers, the trappers, the hunters and also, but far behind in this film, the Indians who were seeing a mode of living, a life style disappearing, and themselves along with it. The shortcoming at this level is that it did not explain enough the new world that was coming out of it, that was emerging.

Buffalo Girls.......2007-08-18
By the end of the week I sometimes need just a "light" "chick" flick. I decided that I wanted this one in my collection. It is well worth a large bowl of popcorn and soda. :o)
More realistic because of the extras.......2007-07-12
THis movie had hundreds of extras and was filmed in New Mexico. The local extras brought a realism to the story line just with their presence.
Way to go NM Extras!
underated western, great historical script.......2006-12-19
good actors, great story... some good action too... this is great movie to help put together the bits and pieces of the stories you've heard about Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and more. It all may be true history, it may be fictional, it may just be myths mixed with fact, but whatever the case, there's more truth than not in this version of the 1870's
Buffalo Girls.......2006-08-05
It was rather drawn out. I had expected more. The characters were'nt up to par although a lot of good actors were in the movie.

What I love so much about `Mean Girls' is that it stays hip and young yet is mature enough to reach further than the teen audience it was aiming at. The performances are surprisingly top notch, and the script is so tight that it's almost a wonder to me it didn't receive at least a screenplay nomination. It seriously is that good. The plot is different while still juggling the same popular girl/unpopular girl mentality of many high school movies. What makes `Mean Girls' so amazingly wonderful is the stellar chemistry between teen queens Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams (although McAdams is in her thirties). They are so in tune with their characters and even more so with each other that they feed off one another brilliantly and capture the pure essence of the script.
Lohan plays Cady (pronounced Katy), a young home schooled girl who's spent most of her life in Africa and is now thrown into the very foreign world of high school. She's the immediate outcast due to her social retardation, but she's quickly swept up by fellow social outcasts Janis and Damian. Cady also catches the eye of Regina, queen of the school and leader of The Plastics, teen royalty as their so affectionately coined (emote sarcasm). Janis and Damian devise a plan to infiltrate The Plastics layers using Cady as a pawn, getting her to become one of them in order to expose them for the evil they truly are.
The entire cast is truly up to the challenge, not just scene stealers Lohan and McAdams. Lizzy Caplan and Daniel Franzese are hilarious as Janis and Damian while Tina Fey is affective as Cady's teacher Ms. Norbury. To me though, one of the best supporting characters is Gretchen Wieners, played by Lacey Chabert. She has some of the best one-liners in the film and Lacey works wonders with creating a likable air-head with layers unlike the average stereotypical dumb girl. Tim Meadows works as well as he can with his character but he's not given much to work with so he comes off a little forced at times as if he's trying to make a big statement knowing he won't have many opportunities and it doesn't quite work as well as he'd like it to.
