Sleepover
Added 5/29/2009
I bought this movie for my daughter and i decided to sit with her and view it. I loved it, its about a group of teenage girls,On one side you have the " good girls " and on the other side you have the "obnoxious" rich girls. They make a bet to see who can go on a scavenger hunt and make it to the party with all the items. The team that did this the fastest would win. It kind of reminds me of another movie where the boy ends up playing basketball with his friends in red thongs. Its awesome, I recommend it to those still young at heart and full of adventure!!!!!!!

Stereotypes & Iconoclasm
Added 1/25/2008
This awesome movie shatters a few stereotypes e.g. about "fat" girls. But the villains are fairly stereotypical. If you're pretty, blond, popular & in high school, you automatically get cast as the villain.

GREAT FOR TEENS
Added 12/4/2007
WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER I COULD RELATE TO THIS MOVIE RATHER WELL. I ALWAYS HAD FRIENDS SLEEPING OVER AND WAS SNEEKING AWAY FROM THE PARENTS. I THINK ALL TEENAGERS DO. THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT. IT WAS FUNNY, DARING AND A YOUNG CROWD MADE LIKE A OLDER CROWD. THESE GIRLS HAVE REAL TALENT AND I WISH THEM THE BEST OF LUCK WITH ACTING. IF YOU HAVE A TEENAGE DAUGHTER I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE.

Female Bullies - watch out!
Added 6/18/2008
I remeber when this movie first came out - it stunned me by the realism of today's type of bullying - girl bullying! Victims and bullies will finally understand what the costs are and the consequences that goes with it. Now that it is commonplace, the comical movies, like Mean Girls, can't be brushed off lightly. Just watch, all women and girls, and see for yourself how today's hate and revenge can and will effect all.

The real world
Added 3/2/2008
I am not a movie critic, but I don't need to be to give this film 5 stars. As a twenty year educator and now a school counselor, I well-know there is a enough accuracy in this presentation that any condensing or exaggerating done by Hollywood is done for the purpose of getting this despicable message into a very narrow time limit, in order to educate as many people as possible. Regardless how different the story or the girls, the pain is the same. Consider, too, how much more painful for those young people who are not so pretty, not so athletic, not supported by a healthy family. As I watched this film just this last Saturday, I could not back up from it enough to judge the acting, for I had to exert all my efforts in not crying in front of the other seminar attendees.
In my childhood I was sister of the town "bad boy," and was a constant target for teasing and harassment, even though I was nothing at all like my brother. Cyber-bullying was not an issue for me, but had we had computers, I am certain the harassment would have included that venue. I wasn't pretty. I didn't wear nice clothes. A very nasty little girl in our class was the Queen Bee from 2nd grade clear through high school; and when it was just the two of us she was decent to me, but when her group was with her she was merciless. A new boy came in the 6th grade, and she decided he looked like a character from one of our literature pieces, so she nicknamed him "Icabod." I was one of a few who refused to call him that, but, a victim myself, I never had the courage to confront Queen Bee and her gang of heartless friends.
Had I experienced a more positive childhood I am certain my life would have been different. I am a mother and grandmother and my family is peopled with caring, intelligent folks, but it was a long hard journey to stop settling for whatever crumbs came my way. When young people are bullied they come to see themselves as unworthy, and enter into marriages that should not be, jobs that should not be, and lives that do not optimize their talents and gifts.
It isn't just girls who struggle with this. One of my sons was bullied by his former "best friend." On Sunday this boy was the upstanding Christian, but during the school week there were no limits to the pain he could inflict.
The foolish person who, in his/her narrow and shallow review, suggested that teasing is simply a manifestation of our right to "free speech" is incapable of empathy for the teenage psyche. OR, more likely, has lived as a bully and hasn't faced the trail of broken spirits s/he has behind.
Please watch this film and raise better people for a better world.
