Mean Girls

Mean girls is about a girl called Cady Heron who moves from Africa to start high school in America. Being home-schooled in Africa by her Zoologist parents she returns to America to attend her first day in public school of which she isnt prepared. With the help of Janis and Damien, Cady learns about the various groups around school. She is warned to avoid the school's most exclusive group, the Plastics, led by the Regina George. The Plastics start to like Cady and start to invite her to sit with them at lunch and go shopping with them after school. While knowing Cady has been accepted into the Plastics, Janis creates a plan to get revenge on Regina.

Having gotten herself involved with the Plastics Cady learns about a "Burn Book." This notebook is Regina's top secret notebook filled with vicious rumors, secrets, and gossip about all the other girls in their class. Cady soon falls in love with Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron Samuels, who Regina steals back from Cady by being jealous. Hurt and frustrated, Cady continues with Janis' plan, which involves cutting off Regina separating her from Aaron and turning Regina's fellow Plastics, Gretchen Wieners and Karen Smith against her. Cady starts to fail in maths to get Aaron's attention and end up kissing, She soon tells Aaron about Regina seeing another boy. Cady also tricks Regina into eating a high-calorie nutrition bar by saying that they actually help her lose weight when in reality it makes her gain weight.

In her efforts to get revenge on Regina, Cady starts to lose her personality and remakes herself in the image of Regina. She soon becomes as nasty as Regina, no longer seeing Janis and Damien and focusing more on her image.

Regina responds by spreading the entire contents of her Burn Book around the school. To avoid suspicion, Regina inserts fake stuff about herself in order to focus blame on Cady and the rest of them. The riot which kicks off is eventually stopped by Principal Duvall. Ms. Norbury, who appears in the Burn Book makes the girls realize that all of them are guilty of hurting each other, She has each girl confess and apologise to the rest of the girls. When Janis' turn comes, Regina makes an insulting joke about her sexuality and the crowd laughs. Janis retaliates by confessing her plan to destroy Regina with Cady's help and mocks Regina with the support of the entire school. Regina storms out and gets hit by a school bus. Rumors then circulate that Cady actually pushed Regina in front of the bus.

Cady decides to make amends by taking full blame for the Burn Book in which she returns to her old personality.

At the Spring Fling dance, Cady is elected Spring Fling Queen, but in her acceptance speech, she declares her victory is meaningless. As a gesture she breaks her tiara and shares the pieces with her classmates. Cady makes up with Janis and Damien and Aaron.

The film ends with the Plastics going their separate ways. Regina joins the lacrosse team, Karen becomes the school weather girl, Gretchen joins the asians, and Cady hangs out with Damien and Janis.

I think that this film would appeal to teenage girlsfrom about 14 up as there is alot of stuff in the film which can be related to in real life such as bullying and break ups, this means it really engages the audience.
