Of course there couldn’t have been a Bridesmaids without Mean Girls. This Tina Fey written comedy was probably one of the greatest high school comedies of its decade. The witty banter and outrageous scenes shine a light on the too often troubling territory that high school girls face. Although SNL vets (Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Ana Gasteyer and Tim Meadows) take a back seat to the young talent, their performances are still noteworthy. Poehler plays one of the most ridiculous characters in the movie, but that is what makes her so funny. Fey balances Poehler’s crazy as the plain Jane of the movie, that teaches the girls how putting each other down only gives others permission to do the same, while still creating some of the most memorable lines a high school comedy has seen.
