I had completely forgot about how ridiculed home-schooled kids were before watching this. There was some humor that probably wouldn't be received well today. So this was very nostalgic. I loved the 'why god created the rifle' bit, so the funniest part was at the start for me. But a lot of laughs throughout.
There's no way the new mean girls movie will be this funny or turn into another culture phenomenon. Regina is a pretty genius mean girl in this, I don't remember thinking that the first time I watched it. But I was a kid then and I used to one of those guys who only enjoyed action movies. If nothing was blowing up, wasn't worth the watch. The characters here are super stereotypical, like on the nose, straight textbook. They're all paper thin characters.
It's a laid-back watch with a simple premise, but it easily stands out as one of the best and most memorable movies from the 2000s. It's odd how movies used to be so straightforward and just worked. I can't think of many recent ones that pull that off successfully and become a hit too. Movies like this one from that era remain timeless, just as enjoyable now as they were back then.
