A hit of the 2000s, the original teen film follows Cady (Lindsey Lohan), a girl who moves from Africa to the United States and finds it difficult to adjust to high school and the laws of popularity that divide her peers.
Directed by Mark Waters, Bad Girls It grossed $130.1 million worldwide and became a cult classic, earning praise for its screenplay and direction (which also featured Fey).
