If you're a teenager, you'll relate to the characters and the all-too-prevalent dysfunctional behavior some of them display. I love this movie because it works on so many levels at once. ![]() Image via WikipediaOne of my favorite teen movies is Mean Girls. You have to see this classic teen movie to experience how satisfying that can actually be. I wont' give away the ending, but let's suffice it to say, integrity wins. I don't see that many adults displaying that kind of integrity and spunk, so it's particularly refreshing to have it come from a teenager. ![]() It's that show of integrity that makes this movie worth the time to see it. ![]() Her insistence on not being like everyone else puts her at odds with just about everyone. God help you if don't run with the herd, as Andie refused to do. But being rejected because of being different I'm familiar with. I don't know how realistic it is that people would reject her based on income, because it wasn't my experience in high school that people did that. ![]() Everyone, that is, except wealthy Blaine, played by the gorgeous Andrew McCarthy, who sees her for the gem she really is. This makes it impossible for everyone to get to know the true her. Even though she's smarter and has more integrity than most of her fellow high school students, people can't see past Andie's sense of individuality and her father's lack of income. Quirky but savvy Andie Walsh is played by Molly Ringwald, who was the perfect choice for the part. Image via Wikipedia Pretty in Pink is the movie for you if you ever felt left out as a teenager.
