Mean Girls Ten Year Anniversary!

Yesterday was the ten year anniversary of the hit movie Mean Girls. If you are a girl then you have most likely seen Mean Girls, but if you have been living under a rock and haven’t seen this amazing movie then here is a brief summary. Mean girls is about a normal high school student, Cady, who moves to a typical high school with all the typical Plastic girls (popular girls). This movie shows the drama that all girls face in high school because of trying to look good, boys, and gossiping.

Considering that this is the ten year anniversary of Mean Girls, why has it been so popular, and what has allowed it to stay in the media for all these years. I think that this movie has stayed so popular for so long is because most people can relate to it. Maybe not to the extremes that Mean Girls goes to. This movie faces all the struggles of being a high school girl, such as fighting over boys, trying to impress a certain boy, terrible teacher, and dealing with the popular girls. This movie shows all of the issues of high school in a funny way, that leaves everyone laughing, and quoting the movie for years. I think that this is a great movie and will continue to make young girls laugh for years to come.

Another reason why I think that Mean Girls has been such a popular movie even now is because, the humor from ten years ago, we still find funny. We find all the pranks, jokes, gossip, betrayal, and dumb blondes hilarious, because those types of people are still around today, and we can all relate to them. Even though the movie exaggerates the high school experience, there is still some truth behind the words of the movie. This is why this movie has been so popular for so many years.

The other reason why Mean Girls is so popular, even after ten years of being released, is because the material and lines from the movie are just hilarious that everyone has been quoting them since its first release. Everybody knows at least one quote from the movie, or can even quote the entire movie. Social media sites, such as Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and even Vine, bring back so many incredible lines from the movie, which just keeps them in our minds for days.

I hope that this movie can make it through another decade and still be as popular as it was when it first came out. Mean Girls is truly a classic!
