Everything You Wanted to Know About Movies Based on Self-Help Books*

But when the self-help adaptation genre returned, it returned for its most financially successful installment to date: 2004's Mean Girls, which Tina Fey adapted from a book with the marquee-unfriendly title Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughters Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of Adolescence. The wry, insightful Mean Girls is the gold standard for a successful self-help book adaptation, as Fey takes the lessons from the original tome and applies them to a well-written, well-acted movies that embeds its themes deeply into both character and story.

You made my point for me {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Apr 04, 13:00

Mean Girls the book is a novel based on a self-help advice book, the movie being based on the novel Mean Girls {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Apr 04, 13:02
