One of the biggest complaints about female characters on the big screen is that they can be poorly written. While male protagonists get fully fleshed out, their female counterparts far too often are one-dimensional and underdeveloped. It's sad but true. But in Mean Girls, that injustice gets flipped on its head. The female characters are interesting and complex, and the male characters, for the most part, are kind of just there.
Aaron isn't interesting or funny. He's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer either, as pointed out by Cady, who tells him he's bad at math (don't ask us how he got accepted into a prestigious school like Northwestern because we have no idea). Cady's dad and Principal Duvall are both kind of pushovers. Remember how oblivious Cady's ol' man comes off when unsuccessfully punishing her? Or how in over his head Principal Duvall seems with the madness going on at his school? And Shane and Jason seem like, well, meatheads. Not the most likable bunch. At least Kevin G. has some personality.
