Premise
Linsday Lohan goes from high school outcast to queen bee.

Who should watch
Anyone who has survived high school.

Thoughts
High schools should play this film as an educational video. It was smart and sharp about high school: awkardness, raging hormones, cliques, peer pressure, self-discovery, and friendship.

The actors not just looked good, but they also acted good. Major props to Tina Fey for her hilarious screenplay. There were tons of great high school moments and one-liners. I especially enjoyed her ability to make the character rivalry take on epic proportions, yet remain plausible in that movie universe. The music was also well chosen and well placed for added hilarity.

What I would change
Make the girls less hot. Their tight clothes distracted me from the writing.
