Any fans of this movie starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and written by/co-starring Tina Fey? I've only seen it once, but I remember it being amusing and entertaining thanks largely to its performances and humor. I don't know if it's one of the best teen comedies ever made, but it is an enjoyable one. There was a made-for-TV sequel that came out seven years later, and that musical version of the movie which came out this year.
Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
Mean Girls (2004) - 2.5 out of 4 stars
"Sixteen-year-old who's been home-schooled (in Africa!) goes to Illinois public school for the first time. She's immediately torn between two outcasts who adopt her as a friend and a clique of popular girls who set their own agenda and make fun of almost everyone else. Sounds awfully familiar, but the script by Fey (based on Rosalind Wiseman's book Queen Bees and Wannabes) has sharp, funny moments one doesn't usually find in teen movies; she also plays a sympathetic teacher. Reverts to formula, but still a cut above the norm. Followed by a direct-to-DVD sequel."
