Comparing Mean Girls and Clueless

       To compare both movies based on plot, cast, them and ending, Mean Girls gets five out of five starts and Clueless gets four stars. Both of the movies' cast are equally unique and superb. In the end both movies have the same kind of moral message that's geared towards teenage girls. Both movies have a generic, happy ending where both girls end up getting the guy. However what really sets Clueless and Mean Girls apart is the plot. The plot of Mean Girls is slightly more elaborate and entertaining than the plot of Clueless because there are a lot of twists and turns whereas the plot of Clueless is pretty straight forward. In conclusion both were good movies but Mean Girls may be one step ahead of Clueless due to the more complex plot.

Mean Girls Movie Review

The movie Mean Girls, based on the book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind, is about a 15- year old girl named Cady Heron who was home schooled in Africa and moved to America to go to public high school. 

Her first friends at school were Janis Ian and Damian. They thought it would be funny to mess with the mean girls in schooled called "the plastics" led by Regina George, Gretchen Wieners and Karen Smith. Soon the positions changed and Cady Heron becomes the head mean girl of school and loses her friends Janis and Damian. In the end she learns her lesson about mean girls and choses her friends more wisely.

Clueless Movie Review

Clueless: a timeless high school classic?  It may be too much to live up to. The movie is loosely based on Jane Austen's novel Emma. In the center of the movie is a high school girl named Cher. She has a best friend, Dionne and together they meet the ever so clueless Tai and decide to show her the ropes of their high school.

 The plot is not original but it's still entertaining. The cast of course is a dream cast ranging from the lead, Alicia Silverstone to Brittany Murphy. Most characters could not have been played by another actor with out changing the energy of the scene or overall movie. The message of the movie which is don't meddle in other peoples live and forget about your own happiness, is pretty straightforward but is still effective. The movie ending with Cher ending up with the perfect guy is a classic predictable happy ending. Overall maybe Clueless isn't a timeless classic but it is still a very good movie.

Clueless Meets Mean Girls

Quote from Clueless:

 "Searching for a boy in high school is as useless as searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie."

Quote from Mean Girls:

"That's the thing with you Plastics, you think everyone's in love with you, but in reality, everyone *hates* you, like Aaron Samuels for example! He broke up with Regina and guess what, he still doesn't want you, Cady! So why are you still messing with Regina? I'll tell you why, because you are a mean girl..."
