Every time watch this film, I collapse in laughter at the way Hollywood works. Tori Spelling as the "popular girl"??? She only got this part because of who her dad was back then. The part of the snobby, rich "popular girl" who everybody wants to kill would later be immortalized by Rachel Adams as "Regina" in "Mean Girls". But Tori is not Rachel Adams, she's not even Lacy Chabert (who played "Gretchen" in "Mean Girls"). If Tori had been more interested in exercising her acting chops, she would have played the Kellie Martin part to great effect: the homely girl who ends up a murderer because high school is filled with "mean girls". Yes the film is about bullying, yes it's a true story - but casting Tori Spelling as the person everyone envies turns this sincere endeavor into a piece of camp.
