Mark Waters directs Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams and Tina Fey in this cult teen comedy where a new girl is thrown into the deep end of high school as she navigates all the cliques.

A soft Heathers but still very witty and colourful. LiLo puts in her best lead turn, the script has an emotional maturity without feeling like an after school special and there’s enough gentle weirdness to keep you coming back. Sure, I’m a little too old to fully embrace this one but you can tell why it is so highly regarded by the next generation without interrogating everything aggressively. Shout out to an early Amanda Seyfried who lands plenty of laughs in the smaller airhead role.
