Some movie references are so big that you don’t really need to have seen the movie. I really did work on an outstanding essay with a Darth Vader reference.

Hanna:
Maybe I’ve been living under a rock or something but I think ‘Mean Girls’ isn’t nearly as big of a movie as and has a much more limited target audience (i.e. teenage girls) than the others you mentioned. I’d bet far less than 50% of adcoms (based on gender and age) have seen it or know detailed references to it.
