These teen movies after the turn of the millennium, from Mean Girls to Lady Bird, aren't just great genre movies: they're great movies, period.
Read update The teen genre is a favorite of Hollywood. Although it might seem superficial or immature at first sight, the teen genre is more compelling and intricate than some credit it for. Since the mid-50s, many filmmakers have used it to explore the uncertainty of life, the search for identity, and the ever-changing nature of love.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a sweet and thoughtful exploration of friendships and the inherent insecurities and doubts of growing up. The film is further elevated by the enchanting performances of its four well-chosen leads, who successfully capture the adolescent experience with plenty of heart and empathy. Although a moderate hit at first, Sisterhood's standing has grown tremendously and is now considered a modern coming-of-age classic.

Jon Heder plays the titular character, an awkward teenager navigating high school and the classic situations of the average adolescent, including friendship, romance, and family life.
Booksmart is clever and refreshing, a considerable feat considering the relative commonality of teen movies in the modern cinematic landscape. However, the film offers an insightful and intelligent approach to adolescence, thanks to a hilarious and relatable screenplay brought to life by two of Hollywood's most promising talents.
The Hate U Give deftly handles thorny subjects to craft a nuanced and deeply affecting portrayal of identity. Dealing with issues like race relations and police brutality with empathy, delicacy, and unflinching determination, The Hate U Give is a gritty and raw portrayal of the more tumultuous side of adolescence, elevated by an astounding performance from Stenberg.
Warm but surprisingly raw in its honest depiction of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a one-of-a-kind entry into the crowded teen genre. The film heavily influenced the Tumblr culture of the early 2010s, cementing its place as an enduring part of pop culture. However, its gentle and affecting portrayal of very real issues affecting countless generations of teenagers turned it into a modern cinematic classic.
4 'Lady Bird' Director: Greta Gerwig Actress-turned-director Greta Gerwig is behind the critically acclaimed 2017 coming-of-age comedy Lady Bird. Four-time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan stars as the title character, an unyielding, highly opinionated high school student who shares a complicated dynamic with her equally forceful mother, played by Laurie Metcalf.
Inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, Easy A is a funny and clever teen comedy that successfully reinterprets a classic. Stone is magnificent in the lead role, creating one of the best characters in modern cinema. The Oscar-winning actress is a riot as Olive, finding authenticity even in the film's wackiest moments and helping turn Easy A into a superior entry in the teen genre.
