Video:

Mean Girls is presented in anamorphic widescreen and is a very good looking transfer. Colors are very crisp and the source print looks excellent. The lone problem comes from focus – darker scenes are sometimes soft, but rarely distracting.

Audio:

The Dolby 5.1 soundtrack separates the dialogue from the backing music and sound effects very well. There's almost no need for a 5.1 mix, though, with nearly the entire film coming through the front speakers.

Extras:

Three featurettes are the best of the beefed-up "Collector's Edition." "Only the Strong Survive" is the main piece, with "The Politics of Girl World" and "Plastic Fashion" breaking out individual topics.

The commentary track with producer Lorne Michaels, director Mark Waters and writer/actress Tina Fey is disappointing; so many of the best comments are in the documentaries, and the rest of the time is silence or comments about how much they each liked the actors and actresses. The best moments involve comments about the MPAA required cuts.

There is also a five-and-a-half minute blooper reel, three commercials dressed up as "interstitials" on the back cover, and deleted scenes with commentary from Waters and Fey.

Final Thoughts:

Ignore the labels and the poor advertising campaign – Mean Girls is pitch perfect and very, very funny. Highly recommended.
