Joe Clay Times (UK) Fey does not take the book too seriously, finding plenty of cruel humour in the bitchy battles between Cady and Regina. Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter One of the movie's achievements is persuading the audience to stay firmly in Cady's camp during her odyssey of self-discovery. Jan 8, 2024 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) This teen comedy is terrific. Superbly scripted by Saturday Night Live head writer Tina Fey, it explores the viciously divisive cliques that render the American high school a virtual battleground. Rated: 4/5 Jan 8, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Barber Independent on Sunday Tina Fey, who also plays Cady's maths teacher, has packed the screenplay with enough barbed one-liners to ensure that, as high-school comedies go, Mean Girls is near the top of the class. Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Michael D. Reid Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) This wickedly funny, dead-on portrait of teen cruelty is leavened by an amusingly executed plea for human kindness and non-conformity. Rated: 3/5 Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Elizabeth Barr Buffalo News There is a plot, but it's a distant second to the movies elaborate pecking order. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Isabella N It was really good I enjoyed it with my friends. Janis is a b. 5/5 would recommend :)) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Charlotte P It’s old humour and character progression is so perfect that nothing more can be said Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Steven G So happy I saw this on DVD from the library and didn't pay to see it in the movies. As sarcasm it wasn't bad but, as an interesting storyline, it left a lot to be desired. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Sam B Forget the remake this is the Queen. Super acid but shows the consequences of nasty actions. One of Lindsay Lohan's best! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Incredible could watch it a million times and every line is still iconic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Martin G Bad except like 7 jokes (3 of those became good memes) Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
