Girls Club - Vorsicht bissig!

Eine größtenteils gut gemachte Komödie mit einer sympathischen Besetzung und mehr als einer humorvollen Szene, die am besten beim ersten Mal funktioniert, aber ich schaue mir den Film trotzdem von Zeit zu Zeit gerne wieder an. Die Possen des Duos Damian-Janis, die liebenswert unbeholfene Lehrerin, gespielt von Tina Fey, die undurchsichtige Mutter mit dem Gesicht von Amy Poehler, die Szene mit der toten Braut, die ehrlichen Geständnisse der geschädigten Schülerinnen, die verschiedenen Streiche gegen Regina, die Weihnachtsaufführung usw. - das ist die Liste der lustigen Sequenzen, die dieser Klassiker aus dem Highschool-Umfeld bietet. Auf den ersten Blick ist es ein durchschnittlicher Streifen, der aber auch nach mehrmaligem Probieren nicht langweilig wird. (23.12.2018)

The best movie of its kind. Funny and concise in character (with the exception of the boring beefcake), very well made and with an excellent cast; these girls are a joy to watch. Maybe my weakness for Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Lindsay Lohan (before her private life caught up with her) plays its part, but I always enjoy watching Mean Girls and once I’m in the mood, I find it hard to take my eyes away. A cult-movie that is criminally underrated here. 85% (18.06.2020)

When you like a teenage romantic comedy, admit it, don't be ashamed of your opinion and don't make excuses that it's a parody when it's not. Occasionally, there may be a sharper joke, but everything is ultimately resolved peacefully, so supporters of the genre can't argue against it. And even though Lindsay and Rachel look good in it, it doesn't change the fact that I've seen everything in various versions elsewhere and the script lacks any more original situation that would surprise. In this tiresome presentation, you can't rely on proven clichés. Tina Fey's clever humor still needed some polishing. (06.08.2007)

It is indeed incredible bollocks, but quite entertaining and, in the current trend of similar comedies, more or less on point. Lindsay Lohan is charming and does have something special. The jokes and gags work well in most cases, and the few awkward scenes get lost. It's a pity about the ending, which unfortunately undermines the whole film. By the way, Lizzy Caplan delivers a completely brilliant performance in the role of the sassy Janis. In the current mainstream of transoceanic comedies, it could possibly be considered slightly above average, benefiting primarily from a relatively dynamic direction and restrained acting performances.

The first hour is a seriously good teen comedy with no toilet humor and several gags that work. Unfortunately, afterwards it turns into something we’ve seen a thousand times already and so you quickly forget the impression it initially makes. But still, thanks to Lindsay Lohan who doubtlessly has a little comic talent, it is watchable without being any health hazard. (26.12.2006)
