Mean Girls & Legally Blonde

Mark Waters’ MEAN GIRLS (PG-13, 2004, 97 min)  

“On Wednesdays, we wear pink.” After growing up in Africa, Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) thinks she can handle anything—until she enters the cutthroat ecosystem of an American high school. To dismantle the “Plastics,” the school’s elite clique led by the ruthless Regina George (Rachel McAdams), Cady must go undercover and risk becoming exactly what she hates. Written by Tina Fey, the film is a sharp-witted, endlessly quotable satire of teenage social warfare. With standout performances from Amy Poehler and Amanda Seyfried, Mean Girls is the definitive 2000s comedy that proves the jungle of high school is the most dangerous place on Earth.

Robert Luketic’s LEGALLY BLONDE: 25th Anniversary! (PG-13, 2001, 96 min)  

Don’t underestimate the power of pink. When sorority president Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is dumped by her boyfriend for not being “serious” enough, she decides to win him back by following him to Harvard Law School. Armed with her signature style, her Chihuahua Bruiser, and a surprising amount of legal savvy, Elle discovers that she has more to offer than anyone expected. Reese Witherspoon’s iconic performance turns a “fish-out-of-water” comedy into an empowering and hilarious celebration of self-determination. It is a breezy, high-gear romp that proves being true to yourself is always in fashion.
