Even though this movie was not meant to be a serious movie that teaches you a lesson, or provides a commentary on the social interactions between teenagers, it succeeded in both. The movie showed how being popular and trying to strive to be liked makes you a bad person in the end. Cady, in the movie, originally was trying to sabotage the "Plastics", a group of the three most popular girls in the school. But in her pursuit of this goal she forgot who she was and why she was trying to break up this group in the first place. By the end of the movie she had become plastic and was not any better, if worse than the other superficial members of the plastics group. At the end, in the climax of the movie Cady apologized and realized the lesson that screenwriter Tina Fey wanted this movie to portray.

I agree with what Travis said about the movie actually having a message. It was supposed to be a comedy about a steriotypical high school but in the end it showed how easily one could lose themselves striving to be popular. Cady lost herself trying to be like the plastics when who she really was inside was way more interesting.
