Mean Girls Review: Tina Fey's Story Crushes Again With A Musical Twist

The three plastics in Mean Girls.

Every few years, a coming of age comedy is released that ends up becoming a synopsis for the times and a lasting presence in pop culture. Mark Waters' Mean Girls from 2004 is a film of that variety and is arguably one of the best teen movies of all time. We've been quoting it for years, and the franchise eventually expanded into a Broadway musical. That stage show has now been adapted as a feature with a new Mean Girls flick, and it's an excellent combination of the previous two incarnations.
