In an interview about the film, Fey noted, "Adults find it funny. They are the ones who are laughing. Young people watch it like a reality show. It's much too close to their real experiences so they are not exactly guffawing." "Entertainment Weekly" put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, Fetch' may never happen, but 2004's eminently quotable movie is still one of the sharpest high school satires ever. Which is pretty grool, if you ask me!" In 2006, "Entertainment Weekly" also named it the twelfth best high school film of all time, explaining: "While "Mean Girls" is technically a comedy, its depiction of girl-on-girl cattiness stings incredibly true."
