Title: Allows bygones to be bygones
Review: I think one of the most important and admirable aspects of this film is that it preaches forgiveness. There are two cases: one, Cady refers to her teacher as a "pusher" in a book, which is later brought to the school and seen before the principal. Even though her teacher discovers this, she forgives her, but then gives her a very light punishment. Two (actually, this one involves the deleted scene entitled `Cady and Regina in the Restroom") Regina is in the restroom when Cady walks in during the Spring Fling. Cady blames herself for Regina's getting hit by the bus, and then Regina forgives her, as she is a "very Zen person." I won't reveal anymore about the plot, but keep in mind that this is a movie that requires multiple viewings to soak up everything that's going on throughout the story.
