I didn't post this initially, but I'd concur with it. "Mean Girls" was the only thing Fey's ever done that I liked, and it is one of the last times film captured Lindsey Lohan before she completely skanked out. The age of guests doesn't relate to the targeted audience demographic, at least not as directly as a few seemed to imply. Teenagers, for the most part, are more interested in older celebrities than ones their own age. There is a segment of the young population who adores the Jonas Brothers and believer Britney Spears deserves one more chance, but by junior high and high school, most have discovered the music and movies of previous generations. They've watched "The Breakfast Club" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." They've listened to Johnny Cash and Nirvana. They may not comprehend all that they see and hear, but, unless they are jocks and cheerleaders, they get that modern pop sensibilities are not the be-all-end-all. It is, in fact, somewhat scary how much "mature" media they have been exposed to (and prefer) by the time they turn 13. -- Kevin M.
