Negative Positive
Title: Mean Girls (2004)
Review: The cast is uniformly excellent. Lindsay Lohan loses her usual antics entirely. I hope she has stopped "trying" to win an Academy Award, because this may be the decade she takes it. Rachel McAdams is a little out of her element as Regina but she pulls it off wonderfully by just letting the script tell her what to do. Lacey Chabert is becoming the go-to girl for fully ripe portrayals--she uses her body to its best advantage, but as long as it's okay with her, it's okay with me. And it is really quite a relief to see Tim Meadows playing a decidedly non-heroic role. I had not seen Neil Flynn before--though I heard a lot about his work in Scrubs -- but he is truly solid, even a standout among this stellar cast.
Is the review positive or negative?
