Mean Girls (2004 Mark Waters)

Rosalind Wiseman novel adapted by Tina Fey, who also appears as a teacher. Lindsay Lohan, then around seventeen, is being directed again by Mark Waters, who did the previous year's Freaky Friday. It's not as good. Lohan is a new entrant to high school  Her friends Lizzy Caplan  and Daniel Franzese persuade her to infiltrate the 'plastics' - Rachel McAdam, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert - so they can, er, something-or-other and then it all goes wrong. Like that.

With Jonathan Bennett, Tim Meadows, Amy Poehler, Neil Flynn (The Middle).

Shot by Daryn Okada, composer Kevin Tent.

Easy watching.
