Mean Girls is a 2004 American/Canadian teen comedy film, directed by Mark Waters. The screenplay was written by Tina Fey and based in part on the non-fiction book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman, which describes how female high school social cliques operate, and the effect they can have on girls. The film stars Lindsay Lohan and features a supporting cast of Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert, and Lizzy Caplan. The film also features several Saturday Night Live cast members, including Tina Fey, Tim Meadows, Ana Gasteyer, and Amy Poehler.
Described by director Mark Waters as "Clueless meets Heathers",[2] Mean Girls follows the home-schooled 16-year-old Cady Heron (Lohan) as she enters her first year of public high school.
The film was generally well received by critics and was a big financial success, grossing $129,042,871 worldwide. Mean Girls has been praised as Lohan's break-out film role.[3] A sequel, Mean Girls 2, is currently in production. Mean Moms, a quasi-spinoff, based on Wiseman's second book, Queen Bees Moms & King Pin Dads, is also in development.[4]

The 16-year-old home-schooled daughter of zoologist parents (Ana Gasteyer and Neil Flynn) living somewhere in East Africa, Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan), is unprepared for her first day of public high school at fictional North Shore High School in Evanston, Illinois. With the help of social outcasts Janis (Lizzy Caplan) and Damien (Daniel Franzese), Cady learns about the various cliques. She is warned to avoid the school's most exclusive clique, the Plastics, the reigning trio of girls led by the acid-tongued queen bee Regina George (Rachel McAdams). Regina was once Janis's best friend but they have grown to despise each other since Regina started a rumor about Janis's sexuality in 8th grade. However, the Plastics take a shine to Cady and invite her to sit with them at lunch and go shopping with them after school.
After realizing that Cady has been accepted into the Plastics, Janis hatches a plan to get revenge on Regina for what she did to her, using Cady as a pawn in order to infiltrate the Plastics. Cady supports her after Regina mistreats her at a Halloween party. Janis's plan involves cutting off Regina's "resources", which include separating her from her boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett), destroying her beauty, and turning Regina's fellow Plastics against her: insecure rich girl Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert) and sweet but dimwitted Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried).
Having ingratiated herself with the Plastics per Janis's plan, Cady learns about the "Burn Book," a top secret notebook of Regina's filled with slandering rumors, secrets, and gossip about all the other girls (and teachers) in their class. Cady soon falls in love with Aaron, whom Regina successfully steals back from Cady in a fit of jealousy. Cady then ups the ante by pretending failure at math to get Aaron's attention, and in retaliation against Regina, convincing the latter to eat high-calorie nutrition bars by claiming that they actually help one lose weight. She also choreographs Aaron's breakup with Regina by confessing Regina's infidelity with another boy.
In her efforts to get revenge on Regina, Cady gradually loses her individual personality and remakes herself in the image of Regina. Her act soon becomes reality, and she becomes as spiteful as Regina, abandoning Janis and Damien in the process and focusing more on her image. Regina, now slightly overweight due to Cady's diet sabotage, is excluded from the Plastics and Cady becomes the new Queen Bee. In celebration of her newfound status, Cady throws a party with the Plastics and does not invite Janis or Damien. Janis and Damien then renounce Cady as a friend. During the party, she also alienates Aaron with her unsavory new personality.
Regina discovers the truth about the bars she has been eating and strikes back by spreading the entire contents of her Burn Book around the school, inciting a riot; to avoid suspicion, Regina also inserts fake slander of herself in the book, in order to focus blame on Cady, Gretchen, and Karen. The riot is eventually quelled by Principal Duvall (Tim Meadows). Math teacher Ms. Norbury (Tina Fey)—who also appeared in the Burn Book, where Cady slandered her by saying that she sold drugs—makes the girls realize that all of them are guilty of hurting their peers. She has each girl confess and apologize to the rest of the girls. Janis confesses her plan to destroy Regina with Cady's help, and openly mocks Regina with the support of the entire school. Regina storms out, pursued by an apologetic Cady, and gets hit by a school bus in her haste; rumors circulate that Cady intentionally pushed Regina in front of the bus.
Now without friends, shunned by Aaron, and distrusted by everyone at school, Cady decides to make amends by taking full blame for the Burn Book. Though severely punished by her confession, her guilt dissolves and she returns to her old personality. As punishment for her part, Ms. Norbury has Cady join the Mathletes—which Damien & Regina both described earlier as "social suicide"—in their competition.
At the Spring Fling dance, Cady is elected Spring Fling Queen and gives a speech to her class that her victory is meaningless; they are all wonderful in their own way and thus the victory belongs to everyone. As a symbolic gesture, she breaks her tiara and distributes the pieces to her fellow classmates. Cady makes up with Janis and Damien, reconciles with Aaron, and reaches a truce with the Plastics.
The film ends with the Plastics disbanding by the start of the new school year: Regina joins the lacrosse team as a way to channel her anger positively, Karen becomes the school weather girl (claiming that her breasts can always tell when it's raining), Gretchen joins the "Cool Asians" clique and is their biggest follower, and Cady dates Aaron as well as hanging out with Janis and Damien. Now reasonably well-liked, Cady reflects that the "Girl World" she lives in is at peace.

The film was generally well reviewed by critics, review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of 83% "Fresh" based on 167 reviews.[7] and a rating of 66 ("Generally favorable reviews") on Metacritic based on 39 reviews.[8]
The film was declared an instant success after its opening weekend made $24,432,195 from 2,839 theaters becoming the #1 film in America and averaging $8,606 per venue.[9] Mean Girls had a long life at the box office and finished its run with $86,058,055 in the United States making its worldwide total gross $129,042,871.[10] In the US, the film was the 24th highest grossing film of 2004.[10]
In an interview about the film, Tina Fey noted, "Adults find it funny. They are the ones who are laughing. Young people watch it like a reality television show. It is much too close to their real experiences so they are not exactly guffawing."[11] Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, " "Fetch" may never happen, but 2004's eminently quotable movie is still one of the sharpest high school satires ever. Which is pretty grool, if you ask us."[12] In 2006, Entertainment Weekly also named it the 12th best high school movie of all times, explaining: "There was a time when Lindsay Lohan was best known for her acting rather than her party-hopping. Showcasing La Lohan in arguably her best role to date, this Tina Fey-scripted film also boasts a breakout turn by Rachel McAdams as evil queen bee Regina George (Gretchen, stop trying to make 'fetch' happen! It's not going to happen!). While Mean Girls is technically a comedy, its depiction of girl-on-girl cattiness stings incredibly true."[13]
