Do You Prefer "Fashion Victim" or "Ensembly Challenged"?


Mean Girls / Clueless
Mahoning Drive-In Theater - Lehighton, PA
One night after screening one of the goriest movies of the 21st century, the Mahoning takes a sharp turn to two iconic teen comedies.

This was my first time seeing the 2004 film Mean Girls and I was pleasantly surprised.  I've always thought that Lindsay Lohan is a talented actress who doesn't get nearly as much credit as she deserves, but this film also has excellent performances from Rachel McAdamsLacey ChabertAmanda Seyfried, Lizzy Caplan, Tim Meadows, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler.  This is a genuinely funny movie that is more than worthy of its reputation.


The second feature of the night is a movie that I saw the week that it was released on home video; the 1995 comedy Clueless.  I had a crush on Alicia Silverstone since I saw her for the first time when I was 12 years old in the Cryin' music video.  She had two breakout film roles that showed off her range three years after she first worked with Aerosmith with Clueless premiering on July 19th, 1995 and The Babysitter on October 17th.  I don't think that I saw either of these two movies since they were on the new release wall at Blockbuster Video, but I enjoy them both, and I'm very glad to have gotten to see Clueless on 35mm.
