Mean Girls is packing such a great cast and a cacklingly satirical sense of humor that it's kind of a drag that it sputters near the end. What follows is a treasure trove of sharp, witty humour that defi ned a generation, inspired a hit Broadway musical, and popularised countless catchphrases. Co-Starring and written by Tina Fey, and featuring Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert, Lizzy Caplan, Daniel Franzese, and Amy Poehler, Mean Girls is nothing short of a pop culture phenomenon and an iconic classic. I mean, back then, Lindsay Lohan was still a too-adorable-for-words up-and-comer and not so much a tabloid punchline. The sound design in Mean Girls is a little more aggressive than you might expect; I mean, there's a full-fledged riot at one point, not to mention a couple of cafeteria-meets-African jungle fantasies with gaggles of sophomores screaming and squawking.

It's okay to leave playing in the background, but there isn't enough of a hook to scream out for a listen on its own. That sharp, biting sense of humor gives way to a Too-Cute Happy Ending, and even though it's not bad, so much of that third act doesn't seem as if it gels all that comfortably with the rest of the flick.However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina's ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels, she finds herself prey in Regina's crosshairs. I mean, the spat between Regina and Cady is nasty and smirklingly cruel enough that Mean Girls lives up to its title for so much of the movie, but it peters out near the end, and the quadruple-underline "wave your freak flag" moral message is kind of standard issue for this sort of flick.

She is very talented at math, which draws her more towards the school's geeks, but when she draws the attention of the popular girls, known as 'Plastics' she begins to change her personality to help fit in. Language Language includes use of 'bitch', 'whore', 'ass', 'slut' and an incomplete use of 'motherf**ker'.

It's also headed up by a turn by Lindsay Lohan that's so sweet, charming, and instantly likeable that it's kind of depressing to think how she's squandered all of that talent and goodwill. This is a marked step up over the DVD, especially without any of the ringing from overzealous edge enhancement creeping in this time around.

Pretty much all of the highlights are the random notes they lob out: nicking the template for Regina from Glengarry Glen Ross, Amy Poehler stepping in as a rap coach, the lack of an umlaut in der Svedish language, slathering digital chocolate onto Rachel McAdams' teeth, and having to shoot their own skeevy Girls Gone Wild video.A few scattered scenes like those keep the rear channels chattering, but Mean Girls is a dialogue-driven flick, so its 24-bit TrueHD track lets the front speakers do most of the heavy lifting. I'll probably look back at this somewhere down the line and wish I'd hammered out a better comparison, but my kneejerk reaction is that Mean Girls is an awful lot like a Lily Allen song: cute and bubbly on the outside, sure, but there's a fanged sense of humor and an almost subversive wit lurking underneath. Decently detailed, nicely defined, and packing a deceptively cheery, vivid palette, Mean Girls looks pretty great on Blu-ray.
