The year was 2004. No one could have then predicted the cult status of Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams-starrer Mean Girls. But today, in 2020, the Mark Waters directorial is still relevant. Its quotes are used as comebacks in everyday conversations, the sequences are meme material, and the movie has immense repeat value. What the Tina Fey-penned screenplay also brought to the campus genre was freshness. Mean Girls had bold, fun female humour and didn’t feel the need to dumb anything down while presenting its perspective on American high school life.
