Don't be afraid.
I know that the recent crop of teen movies has given you ample reason to doubt the worth of "Mean Girls". But fear not! You are in good hands.
"SNL" matriarch Tina Fey has delivered a smart, bitingly funny screenplay (she also has a role in the film as a Math teacher). Fey knowingly satirizes every high school horror from cliques to "cool" moms ("If you're going to drink, I'd rather you do it in the house"). It's been a long time since such keenly observed teenagers have hit the silver screen. If you've been to high school, "Mean Girls" will strike you as terribly familiar - and mercilessly funny.
