Description: Tomboy Joanna "Jo" Mitchell is an 18-year-old high school senior who lives with her widowed father, who builds race car engines. On Jo's first day at North Shore High School, she encounters the school's most popular and snobbish clique, "The Plastics", which consists of Amanda "Mandi" Weatherly, an overtly feminine girl from a wealthy family, Chastity Meyer, a seemingly slow-witted blonde who is known for sleeping around, and Hope Plotkin, who has an extreme fear of germs. Jo also meets Abyjill "Abby" Hanover, a less popular girl at school who enjoys art and lives across the street fro Tomboy Joanna "Jo" Mitchell is an 18-year-old high school senior who lives with her widowed father, who builds race car engines. On Jo's first day at North Shore High School, she encounters the school's most popular and snobbish clique, "The Plastics", which consists of Amanda "Mandi" Weatherly, an overtly feminine girl from a wealthy family, Chastity Meyer, a seemingly slow-witted blonde who is known for sleeping around, and Hope Plotkin, who has an extreme fear of germs.

Jo also meets Abyjill "Abby" Hanover, a less popular girl at school who enjoys art and lives across the street from Mandi. Mandi sees Abby as a rival, due to greater wealth of Abby's family. Jo also develops an attraction to Tyler Adams, a boy in her wood shop class, despite his somewhat sexist attitudes, which spur her to excel in the class. Despite Jo's attempts to avoid the Plastics, conflict develops between them and Abby, which includes personal attacks, continuous verbal harassment and vandalism to Abby's car.

When Jo meets Abby's father Sidney Hanover, a successful infomercial entrepreneur, he offers to pay Jo's college tuition in exchange for remaining good friends with Abby. Jo reluctantly accepts, motivated by her desire to attend university. Jo and Abby become close friends. She also becomes closer to Tyler, but while on a date with him, a voice recorder placed in the car records her while she divulges some intimate personal details (such as the fact that she is a virgin) and the recording is later publicized. Despite Jo's anger when she discovers this, a group of less popular girls tell Jo that they wish they had waited for love as she had, making Jo feel better. Jo also learns from Abby that Tyler is Mandi's stepbrother. Mandi also escalates her war of pranks by ruining Jo's class project, thus ruining her acceptance into Carnegie Mellon University, and filling Jo's father's race car with coffee and sweetener.

However,Jo is in no position to give up and a week later, Jo, Abby and another outcast girl named Quinn (Bethany Anne Lind) who is obsessed with the Plastics start a new clique called the "Anti-Plastics" in order wage wars against the Plastics. They enact a series of pranks against Chastity and Hope, and Jo runs against Mandi in homecoming, but Jo develops a personality almost as shallow and almost as mean as Mandi, and their campaign threatens Tyler and Jo's relationship. When Jo tries to give back the money Sidney Hanover gave her for her friendship with Abby, Mandi overhears the encounter, and reveals their transaction to the entire school, which leads to Jo's estrangement from both Abby and Tyler. It is revealed that Quinn helped Mandi in exposing the secret because of her desperate obsession to be one of the Plastics. Mandi, along with Nick, frame Jo for theft by placing stolen charity money in Jo's backyard shed, resulting in Jo's expulsion.

Tyler and the other Anti-Plastics try to help Jo prove her innocence with the help of Elliott (Colin Dennard), a computer hacker, who infiltrates the computer of Jo's grouchy neighbor, who installed cameras to monitor what happens across the street. After beating the Plastics in a game of powder-puff football, Mandi and Nick are arrested after images of them planting the money in Jo's shed are found by Elliot and revealed. At the school's homecoming dance, Abby and Elliott are elected as king and queen, thanks to Jo rigging the voting with the help of Regina George(The lead Plastic in Mean Girls 1)who thinks she is doing it to get rid of her competition,Mandi Weatherly.

The film's epilogue indicates that Mandi and Nick are sentenced to community service, and that Mandi is allowed to graduate only because her mother donates a library to the school. Because of Mandi's criminal record, her chances of getting into a decent college are damaged, and so her parents chelol! Chanel boy sneezes on her, giving her the swine flu. She recovers, and puts her trust in antibiotics and hot doctors. Chastity looks up her name and joins the abstinence club. Abby and Elliot begin a relationship as she goes off to college to major in art, while Jo, who remains close friends with Abby, rekindles her relationship with Tyler, who attends Penn State University to remain near her.
