One of my lame excuses for never being able to figure out my daughter's behavior goes something like, '...but then I never was a 14-year old girl.' "Mean Girls" may be a strong testament to my good fortune. Mean boys are out there for sure, but I'd rather give up my lunch money for one day than my rep forever.
Lindsey Lohan (now isn't she really 13 going on 30?) doesn't play a believable South African, but who can deny her appeal as the fresh-faced home-schooled innocent. Though the story had the scope of a popular TV dromedy, Tina Fey's writing added a Saturday-Night-Lives episode worth of humor that might get you sneaking a peek at your watch after about 35 minutes. Tim Meadows may have given his career a jump start with his droll delivery of some very funny lines, but I wanted Ana Gasteyer to head back to the bush and send Neil Flynn (Scrubs) back to the janitor's closet.
Mean Girls deserves a glance if you've exhausted your other entertainment options. It may give you a better perspective on your high school angst, insight into the mean women you run across at the mall, or a peek at high school lunch room politics, but it really resolves little. Except that Lindsay Lohan's name on a film will get you to see just about anything.
