I never thought Tina Fey was very amusing on SNL, but her film Mean Girls (admittedly an adaptation of Rosalind Wiseman’s book rather than an original composition) is unexpectedly funny. There was little to no sexual or bathroom humor, which was a really nice change from your average high school comedy. Lindsay Lohan is a breath of fresh air from the oppressive sea of identical teen actresses out there today – this film shows that she’s pulling away from the Hillary Duffs and Mandy Moores of the world and starting to stand on her own two feet as a maturing actress. The story itself was fairly standard – new student has troubles interacting with her new classmates – but well done and full of laughs. Here’s hoping this is the start of a new trend.
