Mean Girls

Mean Girls is a quintessential comedy movie of the 2000s. The teen coming-of-age story stars Lindsey Lohan as Cady, a homeschooled student who is thrown into the wild world of high school cliques and ends up losing herself to becoming popular.

Written by Tiny Fey, Mean Girls has given us so many cultural touchstones like “she doesn’t even go here”, and it’s worth watching just for those alone.

Anchorman

Another iconic comedy movie everyone needs to see at least once is Anchorman.

Will Ferrell stars as Ron Burgundy, a successful news anchor who has spent plenty of time at the top in a male-driven industry. But things take a turn when an ambitious new female reporter comes onto the scene.

Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids is easily one of the best female-centric comedies of all time.

Featuring an all-star cast of comedy icons like Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne and Melissa McCarthy, Bridesmaids has everything from hilarious situations you’ll cringe your way through to heartfelt messages of friendship everyone can relate to.

How does BINGE compare to Netflix, Stan and Disney+?

BINGE has plenty to offer that helps it stand up to giants like Netflix and Disney+.

For starters, BINGE is home to nearly everything HBO so you can expect all those high-value HBO comedies to land on the streaming service sooner or later.

On the pricing side, it’s pretty similar to Stan and Disney+, but unfortunately, it doesn’t offer 4K streams. The user interface can’t compete with the slick design of Netflix, but it does kick goals with the content it offers, as you can see in the list above.

If you’re ready to get streaming you can subscribe to BINGE here.
