I think that one reason this movie is the best teen movie is because it actually feels somewhat realistic. In some movies the mean girl will just say, "Your purse is so ugly! ewww," while in Mean Girls, they talk behind each others back and it's more passive-aggressive. Also, it's just quotable as heck and me and my friends quote it all the time.

At the end of the 8th grade those bullies cried cause school was over and they would move away to go to high school, while the bullied were just happy that they will finally have peace and quiet for once without it bothering some asshole for no reason. Teachers don't even care ever since democracy has been instilled they weren't allowed to punish kids so they just gave up cause there's no way to control them or they just like to give you petty punishments for nothing just to pretend to be good teachers.

I remember seeing this in theaters when I was 12 with my cousin who was 10 and our moms. They definitely thought the movie was inappropriate for us being that young, but they loved loved loved the message at the mathletes competition where it finally sinks in to Cady about how calling other girls names and tearing them down doesn’t build you up at all and you have to actually focus on yourself and build yourself up.

[@vikaziza1506]

The sad thing is that Cady doesn't have any friends. Janis made her spy on Regina, the only time Cady, Janis and Damian spent some time together was when they were planning how to get a revenge on Regina.Janis and Damian make fun of her interest (to join a mathematic club means that she would be a loser) and they are all hurt when Cady doesn't invite them to her party. Why would she even do that? By the way it was so stupid how Janis spent all four years by hateing Regina, claiming that she destroyed Janis' life when in reality the only people who remember that Regina called Janis a lesbian are Janis, Damian and Regina.

i think mean girls is still iconic as it’s realistic (to the most part except for the jungle fight scene mood) 1) the whole school atmosphere is normal, busy corridors, lunch hall set up etc 2) regina, gretchen and karen act like modern girls where their bitchy behaviour is similar and not outrageous (like the flop sequel) 3) you kind of don’t want to root for anyone in the end as janis set it all up, cady became a plastic and the plastics were not good people to begin with and finally it’s quotable and a masterpiece

[@yonicorn1641]

on the "not wanting to root for anyone" point - it's even better because nowadays movies would make Cady, Janis and Damian "the good guys" and the plastics "the bad guys" but in the end Janis was just as bad and manipulative as Regina + it kind of mirrors how all girls turned on each other and there were no bad and good girls

[@jackskellington4198]

@@yonicorn1641 I think that was such a great touch because it shows how it wasn’t anyone’s fault entirely. It varied between the plastics and Cady’s group of friends. It makes it a lot more realistic since a lot of times in life it’s either circumstance and/or it wasn’t just one person and one action that caused problems. So, I definitely agree with what you’re saying. 👌😊

[@renoirrr]

more proof that real life can't be separated into just 'good and bad' like most movies and shows (esp teen rom coms) go bc even of theyre shown to not be good the writers pretend its good, not actually acknowledging it like this movie, kind of defeating the purpose and removing some layers from the characters imo. anyways i personally havent actually seen super bitchy girls in highschool yet but a couple years ago i sure as hell was as bad as regina to my cousin since we werent on the best of terms at the time. i think some of that leaked into my current self or maybe its just hidden deep within me waiting to awaken cause whenever my friends and i roleplay they always choose me as a villain or bitchy person because "i can act the part" or im "best at it." ngl its kinda flattering if youre looking at it from an acting standpoint

It has a lot of jokes, but it also shows how a lot of people see high school, the mean girls always act nice, and you even have different roles in this kind of high school hierarchy. You have Regina, the leader and mastermind with a lot of confidence. She knows how to find people’s weaknesses. You have Gretchen, the follower who really wants to follow a leader. It’s honestly sad, because it just seems like they want to be approved of, and don’t know their worth. You have Karen, the one who has potential to be like Regina the leader with her looks, but not skill wise. And then you have Cady, a new girl, a lump of clay who can be molded in any way, making her the perfect input for the audience. And even Janis, who should be on our side is basically Regina without popularity, having the same skill of knowing how to make people tick. At the end of the day, it’s a cinematic masterpiece with references that still live up to this day, and something that isn’t so black and white, and has characters that actually have dimension.

My older brother got me and my younger sibling into playing Pokemon online so we've all been battling each other recently (speaking of which, I promised him a thrashing today with a new deck I built). We still enjoy video games, and for me and my younger sibling, we really enjoy anime. Heck, even our mom likes anime. So though it's been many years since my childhood, I've just not dropped all the things I liked as a teen...but explaining that to a teen gets you the "You're weirding me out and trying too hard" look. I must have missed the memo on what fun things adults are supposed to be into, lol. Oh, should also mention I don't want children, so that also probably adds to the lack of any urgency to "act like an adult". I pay bills and file taxes, that's adult enough to me 😂

This is so true. Me and my friend used to say like cringy memes ironically and this has gotten to the point that we are just making cringy memes and references. This is my humor now and I hate it but I can’t stop.

[@brideofcthulhu347]

I like that Cady is just average in the best way. She has a subject she excels in (math) but isn't some super A+ 4.0 GPA super genius, she hangs with her friends but shes not really popular or unpopular (yet lol), she doesn't dress in some extreme like overly frilly or overly frumpy, and shes not comparing herself to other girls in the most cliche way, ie the nerdy/"outcast" cliches with giant glasses and hipster clothes saying shes not like "other girls"- aka the most stereotypical and damaging idea of what women are- because she likes something a man in the 50s would think women don't like (cars, books, sports). Like the idea that majority of these "other girls" are all vapid 1950s Beverly Hills barbies who love shopping, are either bitchy or dumb as rocks, and hate icky things like "*gasp* outdoors?! Uh, gag me with a spoon!" is just the most out of touch cliche that hasn't been true for at least 25 years now But seriously Mean Girls is amazing

[@rileysjonger4192]

“Aka the most stereotypic and damaging idea of what women are” lmfao, okay. Sure. Also, you fail to realize plenty of modern women act like the “stereotypes” you mentioned, so there’s truth to the stereotypes.

[@whoreburguer]

​​​@@rileysjonger4192 You're a man you shouldn't be saying what women are or aren't, because if some are like that it's because of their PERSONALITY and the way they were RAISED, it has nothing to do with gender so don't just talk crap like that about women without barely even knowing normal ones

[@emilycanfield2634]

Cady's mom didn't lose her job, she got tenure at a university :( Also you're so right about the popular kids being smart too. That's why they were popular because they did it all and were good at it. The "nerds" were usually the ones into comic books, videogames, anime, fantasty/DnD etc

Nah my nerds was the popular kids/bullies, I had/have a learning difficulty and because of this I was bullied by those shit nerds, pretty much everyone was if you didn't get straight A's you got bullied.

[@emilycanfield2634]

@@Ilivepuppys different schools have different cliques, but usually nerd wasn't always a connotation meaning "smart", it just meant you were into non-mainstream stuff. It's just that these days comic books/superheroes, videogames and anime are extremely popular. Because I'm a girl I was always "cool" for being into typical nerdy stuff, but I did witness a lot of my guy friends get made fun of for playing DnD during lunch. Now all that stuff is cool and we're all adults anyway so no one gives a crap.

the movie was based on a book called "queen bees and wannabes" by rosalind wiseman and tina fey (ms. norberry) had a huge hand in the production which is a big reason why the script was and remains accurate to young girls and high school in general what, almost 20 years later

Yes, Mean girls is more similar to how middle school was for me. I'm in high school now I only have a year and a half of true experience due to covid but it's a lot easier to get lost in the crowd when your in high school unless you have classes with people who talk behind your back.
