Title: makes your mouth water
Review: The book, `Queen Bees & Wannabees: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of Adolescence', is one of Rosalind Wiseman's most educational works. As such, director Mark Waters doesn't fall into the trap that almost all other filmmakers do when adapting work from the writer of a book: ignore characterization for cheap thrills. One of the things that make Tina Fey a great writer (and I mean this) is that her scripts are about PEOPLE. She makes us care about the characters, and then we are frightened when they are put in jeopardy. The movie, Mean Girls, succeeds because it is all about the characters - who they are, and the journey they take.
