Trivia Rom-Coms? No, Mom-

Coms!
In the scene where Cady was asked if her "muffin was buttered," the line was
originally going to be, "Is your cherry popped?" The same went for the girl who
"made out with a hot dog"; this was going to be "masturbated with a hot dog."
These were omitted in order for the film to gain a PG-13 rating instead of an R.

Goofs
After the Junior girls start freaking out and beating each other up over the Burn
Book, the principal stops them by pulling a fire alarm and setting off the
sprinklers, which drenches everyone. Then he orders them all to the gym
immediately. When they get there, everyone is dry.

Quotes
Karen: If you're from Africa, why are you white?
Gretchen: Oh my God, Karen, you can't just ask people why they're white.

Alternate versions
The teacher talking German in the beginning of the movie speaks French in the
German dubbed version.

Still Great
My boyfriend has this on DVD so we put it on last night and watched it together. It
is still good and has not dated at all.

The clique is indeed mean and one wonders whether high schools are like that
today. I graduated high school a decade ago and don't remember such a mean
environment, but then again that is the appeal and story of the film.

The girls are really hot and they flaunt it. Gretchen is the prettiest to me, but of
course they are all handpicked to be pretty especially during their stage show.
