#1 Mean Girls
4.1

Best for quotable comedy, a memorable ensemble, and sharp observations about school cliques. Skip it if dated stereotypes, sexual jokes, or a sentimental finish outweigh those strengths.

Pros: humor, supporting cast performance

Cons: ending satisfaction, pacing

Cons: story quality, pacing

Cons: scares, story quality

Pros: ending satisfaction, acting performance

Cons: humor, plot clarity
