Mean Girls

The blooper reel is mostly everybody laughing about messing up lines. There’s one cool one where a light falls down, and the candy bar falling out of the wrapper is funny. The deleted scenes are good, full of more funny moments. There’s some ironic narration and subtitle jokes and some pure slapstick. [p] The featurettes analyze the politics of girl world, putting a lot of emphasis on the book “Queen Bees and Wannabes” by Rosalind Wiseman, which inspired the script. The second featurette is basically an interview with Wiseman. There is a lot of general EPK fluff buried in here, but they’re worth sitting through for the analysis of the world of high school. Even the fashion spot informs the characters. [p] The only bad feature is the commentary with Tina Fey, Lorne Michaels and director Mark Waters. They’re just boring. Long spots of no talking, and when they talk, it’s complimenting the on screen action. What’s worst is they think they’re being cute, and it’s just sad to hear adults try to be cool.
