Teen Movie Mean Girls
Comedy Meet the Parents
Drama Green Street Hooligans
Pete Dunham is what you might expect of a young East Londoner. Dedicated football fan...possibly too dedicated. He is prepared to risk his life to represent his football firm. This die hard attitude was acted amazingly by Charlie Hunnam.
With his speech and mannerisms, Charlie was able to convey a laid-back character, who is just like another young 'lad' with the exception of his passion to support his football team and firm by 'Standing [his] ground.'
Pete's wardrobe establishes his character further. Throughout the film he is seen in track suits, hoodies and a signature long trench coat. This creates a very 'street' image as well as one of authority within his gang. The way Pete walks also cements his personality: Cocky, strong and confident.
Similarly, his speech contributes to his image. He has a 'cockney' style dialect which confirms the fact that he is definitely a Londoner.
'Yes..cheeky slag!'
Character 1: Regina George {Rachel McAdams}:
-Mark Water's Mean Girls (2004)
In Mean Girls, Regina George's character was what one would typically expect of a high school 'queen-bee': Very two-faced, fake, popular yet feared and extremely good looking.
Rachel McAdams was perfect for the part, playing a convincing role and successfully portraying the duality of Regina's personality.
Rachel was made to seem more 'the part' as her character was always looking immaculate with a full face of make-up, an expensive-looking wardrobe, and style sports car. Everything about her was made glamorous, even to the extent of her gym clothes.
The way Regina walks, talks and carries herself throughout the film gives an air of confidence, femininity and lastly but most significantly danger.
'I, like, invented her, you know what I mean?'

Character 2: Jack Byrnes {Robert De Niro}
-Jay Roach (2000)
-Jay Roach (2000)
Jack Byrnes: every man's nightmare. The most fussy, perfectionist of a father-in-law you could ever come across. The father-in-law that wouldn't accept anything less than absolutely perfect for his little girl.
Robert De Niro played the part exceptionally.
This character was constructed and conveyed so brilliantly for a number of reasons. Firstly, Jack lives in the most perfect, peaceful neighbourhood, with a functional and practical family, living in a pretty and neat house. His life is very systematic, his routine very organised. His speech and dress reflect this. Mr. Byrnes always looks very prim and well-dressed with an eloquent manner about him.
With such a structured and ideal family life, Jack Byrnes is evidently the head of the house. He is the one to please, and ironically the most difficult to please. The way he carries himself and strides rather than walks, firmly places him in the mould of the 'Big Man' or someone important.
