TV: Mean Girls & Shallow Hal

I have been watching some of my older movies lately. Yesterday, I re-watched Mamma Mia because the music has been going through my head all week. After watching that I remembered that Amanda Seyfried, who plays Sophie, the girl who is getting married in Mamma Mia, was also in Mean Girls. So, I decided to watch Mean Girls. It's a cute movie about this girl who has been homeschooled for 16 years (Lindsay Lohan) who comes to the states and goes to school. She has trouble making any friends the first day. The second day, the Plastics, a clicque of 3 of the most popular girls at school, invite her to eat lunch with them, and trouble starts brewing as she because "mean" like them. It's a cute movie for teen girls and has a happy ending. Amanda Seyfried is the "stupid" girl in the Plastics and their leader is played by another favorite actress, Rachel McAdams.


I also watched Shallow Hal this week. This is a comedy. Jack Black plays Hal, who is very shallow, until he gets trapped in the elevator with Tony Robbins one day.  Since they are stuck for a long time, Tony and Hal talk and Tony realizes that Hal is brainwashed into believing that only outer beauty is important. He reconditions Hal to see people's true "heart" beauty, so even ladies who are less than physically attractive but who have a beautiful heart look like models to him.  His friend Mauricio, played by Jason Alexander is disgusted by this because he has his own deformity that makes him only like physically perfect girls. Very cute, funny movie!
