Title: Fun Coming of Age Flick with a Twist
Review: Rachel McAdams is very funny in this flick as the popular alpha-girl who hits the skids when she bulks up from a diet bar (not) that Lindsay gives her. One of the trio of popular girls breaks down from paranoia from not being sure she is still in-step, and Lindsay gets meaner as her power climbs. A little sociology in the film when the girls in the school are shown the book. Also great acting from the guy pal in the freaks group. The humor is not quite as much as Tina Fey thinks there is.In an add-in, the book Queen Bees and Wanna-Bees is discussed and how competition among us girls deteriorates the progress of young women in our society and distracts then from useful, self-fullfilling pursuits. I see it myself amongst some of the girls (alleged adults) I have to work with in my condo association.
