Mean Girls (2004)

Now , now put your pitch forks down! Let me explain (before I get kidnapped or something), look, I want to like this. When I first saw this movie I don't know anything about Mean Girls, so I watch it and I was a bit disappointed , know your shocks on your faces but why do I think so? I don't hate this movie but to me it feels so skippable, opinions are objective as they say, I'm I right? Okay you stupid mob without a further-a-do let's get into it:

The review:

First of all the comedy, its unfunny: I don't know, the jokes the movie makes, made me uncomfortable. Particular that annoying tit joke, I hate b**b jokes, its disgusting and rubes me the wrong way. The mean spirited nature of this movie doesn't work for me because its edgy for the sake of it. I find edgy comedies funny when its a satire to corporate staff and spitting cynicism at it, like Shrek is a jab to Disney ( I made an entire review on it if your interested) and this movie's s*x jokes works because they used subtlety, its show not tell. I think it makes the jokes more funnier when showing not telling because it spells out everything. Or The Simpsons (classic 1-8) is about the modern American world and consumerism itself! It makes it more interesting in my opinion.

Unfortunately this movie lack that feature and do jokes that is a bit random for my taste. Like when Cady wears a monster costume and someone got scared because of her ugliness, I'm sorry is this supposed to make cared the character or to laugh. Or a random s*x scene that comes out of nowhere. Also do you find it funny they said a bad word, "original" comedy not done to death 8 billions, also the Asian woman, I don't think that is intentionally racists its really one note for me, like haha do you get it they saying words, like an Asian. You might excuse that its made for fun and your overreacting. Well, yeah I can see that but the movie barely get you invested to the characters and that's the another thing.

The plot: Its pretty service level at best, its just this melody drama like "oh no I barf up my boy friend, its the end of the guys, how tragic". I'm sorry its just Cady messing around in school and that Christmas scene is filler! There's nothing else to it! The other characters are one-note and full of nothing and its your basic school character archetype. I'm not trying to be this perspective of critics that want an emotional satire to every movie because movies are made for entertainment purpose too you know, like the Mario movie for example is barely emotional and its not trying to do that, its a fun movie with a well written movie that is true to the source material because if it is just sad moment it makes it really sappy and drawn out.

My point is that not every movie needs to have this sad moment to make a good movie.

Final Thoughts: So overall, is Mean Girls Cinematic Classic Junk? Kind of, I will give this movie that it knows its target audience (cool edgy people) and do have a style, its that I don't like this style. I know it sounds like a hate but again for real I don't like, not hate, just don't like.

That's everything I got to say!
