In this hilarious comedy, audiences laugh as Cady adapts to different cliques, falling for the most popular guy in school and becoming Queen B, while making a few enemies along the way. As with most comedies, Cady eventually establishes her true identity. Although Mean Girls is generally classified as unrealistic and overly dramatic and the situations are much more adult than their age, the film successfully portrays high school stereotypes and friendships. Mean Girls is obviously a little too dramatic, creating an atmosphere of unrealistic situations.
