about the movie

Cady (Lindsay Lohan, "Herbie: Fully Loaded") is super-smart and totally clueless. Explanation: She's gone from being home schooled in the African bush by her zoologist parents to a typical American high school, and she has no idea how to deal.

For starters, there's about a million cliques, and the popularity food chain makes the jungle look like a petting zoo. At the top are "the Plastics," the three most popular girls in school. They include Gretchen (Lacey Chabert, "Hello Sister, Goodbye Life"), Karen (Amanda Seyfried, "Veronica Mars"), and Regina (Rachel McAdams, "Wedding Crashers"), the queen bee who rules her school with a terrible sting.

When Cady actually breaks into the Plastics, she sees it as a kind of sociology experiment. But something totally unexpected happens ... she starts acting like them. Then she makes the fatal mistake of falling for the oh-so-cute and nice Aaron (Jonathan Bennett, "Lovewrecked"), who just happens to be Regina's ex. When Cady feels Regina's wrath, she finally sees the Plastics for what they really are. But is it too late?

Now it's all-out war, and before long the whole school is running wild. It's even too much to handle for cool teachers like Ms. Norbury (Tina Fey, "30 Rock") and Mr. Duvall (Tim Meadows, "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story"). It's up to Cady to tame the savage beast. (2004)
