Mean GirlsI want to see this film for one reason only, Tina Fey.
I heard an interview with Fey this week about writing the "Mean Girls" screenplay and the arguments she had with the ratings board about what could be included in a PG-13 movie. She said she really had to fight to keep the phrase "wide-set vagina" in, which she admitted didn’t really sound like something worth fighting for, but she assured the interviewer that in context it was a phrase she knew she needed.
Fey also discussed one of the things that they wouldn’t allow her to do in PG-13. On the main character’s first day in high school, a boy approaches her and introduces himself. He says: "Hi, I’m Greg and I’m part of the Washington High School Welcoming Committee and I wanted to know if your cherry has been popped and if it hasn’t, we can schedule a time to get your cherry popped at your convenience."
She thought that was strange because she could have done that on TV.
To all of this I say: I heart Tina Fey.
