Mean Girls [WS] [DVD] [2004]

Raised in the African bush country by her zoologist parents, Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) thinks she knows about quot;survival of the fittest.quot; But the law of the jungle takes on a whole new meaning when the home-schooled 15-year-old enters public high school for the first time and falls prey to the psychological warfare and unwritten social rules that teenage girls face today.

The hit teen comedy Mean Girls debuts on DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the film's original theatrical aspect ratio. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a second English soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by director Mark Waters, screenwriter Tina Fey, and producer Lorne Michaels. They provide many humorous moments during their discussion, which is dominated by the director and the screenwriter. They are full of praise for the cast. Deleted scenes with optional commentary by Waters and Fey, a blooper reel, three making-of featurettes, and the film's original theatrical trailer round out this release. This is a solid release from Paramount.
