| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Mean Girls Movie Rating:  Hilarious
| |
| Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan), home-schooled in Africa her entire life, moves to America and quickly finds herself at what can only be described as Lord of the Flies High School, where the caste system is vicious. | |
|
Simultaneously falling in with the "art weirdos" (read: queer kids) and the "Plastics"
(rich, beautiful girls), she's put up to the prank of infiltrating the
latter to exact revenge on them for their years-long torment of kids lower
on the social totem pole. The snag: in doing so, she finds herself craving
their attention, acceptance, and access to cute boys.
Saturday Night Live writer Tina Fey's script is a dead-on attack of the uniquely horrible world of adolescent females, and it only suffers when forced to make nice in the third act. So while not the classic teen-angst comedy that was Heathers - where the revenge took on unapologetically murderous dimensions - it's still a hilarious glimpse of American high school hell. |
