This is Heathers for a new generation. I would put it right next to Clueless as far as being an instant classic. It's not for everyone. Men, for instance, would probably not be able to relate to a lot of Girl World scenarios. Everyone should still watch this movie because it's hilarious and endlessly quotable.
Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) joins high school after being homeschooled in Africa by her zoologist parents. She soon finds that navigating among wildlife predators is totally different than their human counterparts as she is caught by the Plastics, a clique of popular girls led by the spiteful and manipulative Regina George (Rachel McAdams). Cady is convinced to become a spy in their midst by outcasts Janice (Lizzy Caplan) and Damian (Daniel Franzese) but discovers that it's much harder to stop being Plastic than to start.
My friend, Hollie, had gone her entire adult life without having seen this movie. Obviously I had to fix that. This is just one of those movies that must be shared until it is a seamless part of popular culture. Plus, it's always nice to remember what Lindsay Lohan looked like before all the drugs, rehab, and plastic surgery.
