I never got the Danny DeVito line, though. It goes straight over my head.

The girl in the washroom who yells at him is really short, a la Mr. DeVito.

I also love the fact that this movie acknowledges that there are cool Asians. I crack up when the two Asian chicks swear at each other in Vietnamese and start cat-fighting.

Also, this was filmed in and around Toronto and I've been to that shopping mall with the fountain/African watering hole so many times. And my grade 11 math textbook in school is the exact one that Cady has.

I love the two seperations of the Asian cliques - there was the cool Asians and the Asian nerds! My favorite clique name was "Sexually Active Band Geeks" - oh, I died laughing when I heard that! Believe me, many many of my friends in HS were band geeks, and they were ALL doing it like rabbits!

What's funny about that is that they specifically call it Old Orchard, and that place looks nothing like Old Orchard, which is an open air mall.

Well, this one time at band camp...oh wait, wrong movie!

I really liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I had absolutely no desire to see it when it came out, but after hearing everyone say they liked it, I down...errr...rented it.

I loved this:

Say crack again!
Crack!

I really love this movie; I thought Lacey Chabert totally stole the show as Gretchen Wieners.

I agree, her meltdown was great. "We should just totally stab Cesar!"


I also love the throw-away jokes, like "swim team practice tonight in the projection room above the auditorium".

Oh, man, Lacey Chabert's "Caesar" meltdown was the best!
"Brutus is just as cute as Caesar! Everyone likes Brutus just as much as they like Caesar!"

I think mrpancake just became the first straight man to see this of his own accord.... ;D :WEG:

Besides the Caesar speech, I also adore the montage about Regina George that concludes with -
"One time, Regina George punched me in the face....It was AWESOME!"

Other than LiLo and Rachel McAdams, we can't forget that this launched Amanda Seyfried and her ultimate dumb blonde-osity at us.

It's too bad that they had to tone down a lot of the jokes - I really wonder what the R-rated version would be like.

Four pages, and no one's mentioned the pint-size of awesomeness that is Kevin Gnapoor?

"I'm not like Shaggy/She'll know it was me/next time you get her/it'll be "ooooh kevin geeeeeeee"!!!!!"

"Aaaallright, Kevin, that's enough..."
