Discussion about Mean Girls

When talking about the film Mean Girls with another student, we discussed the use of a variety of different personalities in the film. There are the mean girls, the sport guys, the stereotypical gay guy and the nerds. The fact that they used all of these different stereotypes was extremely important in the film, as it allowed the characters to develop and express their individual personalities separately and allows the audience to see how sometimes these different personalities can clash but also how sometimes the differences can bring people closer together. It also made the film very relatable to the teenager audience as they can apply these situations to their own school life, which is one of the reasons why this film was such a big success.

From this we then discussed what else made this film such a huge success. We figured out that it was also down to the humour used throughout the film from the different individuals and also due to the very memorable quotes. Some of these quotes include;
"You can't sit with us"
"Stop trying to make fetch happen Gretchen"
"If you're from Africa then why are you white?"
