Monica,

In other words, they used it as an instructional video?

I know what you mean!

The DVD of Mean Girls came out that fall and the central mean/most popular/hated/beloved/girl lent it to me. Not to be wicked, but just because she liked it and wanted to see if I would like it too.
(Bullies can be nice; they are never 100% horrors in my experience. Just complicated and usually unhappy for many good reasons that we in schools are not always able to fix.) However, I did sometimes think some of the resulting nastiness was set off by her and some of the other girls having seen the movie and getting off on playing some of the same sort of stuff out in our classroom.
