About This Quiz

Going from home schooled jungle freak to most hated person to actual normal girl isn't easy. "Mean Girls" is a cult classic that defined an entire generation. It's one of the most frequently quoted movies of all time, and for good reason. With cast members like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, how could it not be a comedic gold mine? Especially since it was written by Fey, a "Saturday Night Live" alum. There are so many little Easter eggs in the movie that you definitely don't notice until about the 400th time you've seen it. (If you say you've seen it any less times than that, you're lying.)

For those at the right age when the movie was released, everything changed in life. It became all about little purses, having shoes that matched your top, talking in weird phrases like "I know, right?" and telling everyone to shut up. It was the era of attitude. It also made people aware of what carbs are, and basically everything is a carb, even butter. Also, cranberry-juice cocktail is not the same thing as cranberry juice and won't help you lose weight. There are so many things about this movie that will never be forgotten. Think you remember everything from the movie? Take this quiz now to find out just how much you know about "Mean Girls!"
