I'm watching this again for the umpteenth time on Netflix, and realizing that something like this COULD be an "experiment" of sorts, if the "infiltrator" could keep herself from "going native" like Cady did.

Have any of you seen this film? What did you think of it? Did you ever encounter cliques like this in high school?

Yes, I own the DVD (I bought it because of Amanda Seyfried----and, also, I wanted to see what the "big deal" was, about Lindsey Lohan.)

I thought the movie was a good representation of how catty (I'm thinking that it was on-purpose that a character was named "Cady") girls can be, nowadays. There MIGHT have been these cliques, back-in-my-day, but they were just groups of friends, that hung-out together----and, there were, of course, people who picked-on other people (e.g. "bullies", and such); but, I don't remember it ever being as bad as what was portrayed, in the movie.

If anything like that existed in my high school, I never saw it - by then, I was "invisible" to everyone except for the few friends I had. Sometimes, being ignored is a good thing. :)

Next question: ever see HEATHERS? Same concept, different decade...and much darker. :twisted:

I have seen it many, it was good, and maybe.

I liked the movie but I haven't seen the 2nd one. I never paid much attention to the clicks in high-school.

I watched maybe 10 minutes of the second film before turning it off - it had virtually no relation to the first, and was really boring.
