Mean Girls is partly based on the 2002 book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman. The film follows “Cady Heron, who was educated in Africa by her scientist parents. When her family moves to the suburbs of Illinois, Cady finally gets to experience public school and gets a quick primer on the cruel, tacit laws of popularity that divide her fellow students into tightly-knit cliques.
“She unwittingly finds herself in the good graces of an elite group of cool students dubbed ‘the Plastics,’ but Cady soon realizes how her shallow group of new friends earned this nickname.”
It starred Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried, Ana Gasteyer, Amy Poehler, Lizzy Caplan, Jonathan Bennett, Daniel Franzese, and Neil Flynn.
The film was a critical and box office success and has become a cult classic. According to Rotten Tomatoes, “Elevated by a brilliant screenplay and outstanding ensemble cast, Mean Girls finds fresh, female-fronted humor in the high school experience.”
A musical adaptation was staged in 2017. It received 12 nominations at the 72nd Tony Awards.
