this! but also Auli'i

Bisexual in a happy relationship with a man and absolutely same. Saw the movie and messaged my best friend like “is it weird the mean girls musical is doing something to me rn”

I loved renee but i wish they dressed them all so differently. The plastics aren’t supposed to be reality. They r plastic they r fake!!! They need to be out there with heels on and trendy dresses and skirts today that people DO wear.

im a lesbian and i approve this message as well

Same, but I came for movie, stayed for movie and Auli’i and then thought about Auli’i after

what

i love danny #number1dannylover

@@Aldi-Offical he says it in the video. I also like danny

I died when he said that

This musical WISHES it had bangers like I Ghosted Kevin Jonas!

every movie musical for the last like 5-10 years has been ashamed of being a musical like why bother at this point

The entire reason I was avoiding this movie like the plague when we just had the trailer because I did not realize it was a musical until it already came out. And then I didn't see it because it was bad but me thinking oh it's just a remake because it's been enough years since the original gave me zero interest in seeing it

Well I honestly think cutting songs and shortening them down was a good decision, a lot of people dont like changes when addapting stories from book to movie, book to theatre, theatre to movie, etc. But they shouldnt because theyre different mediums and when theatre is song heavy it works and looks good, but when movies are song heavy it looks stupid and feels silly.

@@madeezyfosheezy I would disagree because The Greatest Showman is a perfect example of a great musical movie

Also the most of the main characters can’t sing😭😭😭 this movie is a musical and they chose main leads who cant sing and chose supporting cast who will eat them up.

And why does she have a orange jeep 💀

But the “SHEIN” top everyone is talking about is $90 on revolve😭😭

@@Melissasofia522plenty of expensive stuff looks cheap because it is cheap. Regina still wouldn’t have worn that

Same with the makeup. She definitely wouldn't have used Elf.

Regina wouldn’t have followed trends, she would have set them.

And it kinda felt like the implication was still that this happened because she gained weight

@@seakhajiit yeah I agree, I thought the implication was that she'd gained weight and couldn't do the stunt anymore. That along with the giant boom when she fell felt like they were trying to imply it was fat-shaming while being able to deny it in case they got flack for it.

I think the problem is that in the original movie, there was no big moment when the entire school turned against Regina. Regina's downfall comes from the plastics rejecting her, not from the entire school making fun of her. Both the musical and movie musical decided to change this and neither of it is realistic. Honestly, they should've stuck with the original plot: have the talent show be the start of Cady's rise instead of the end of Regina's fall, the first moment when she really takes the reins from Regina. Make it feel more natural that Gretchen and Karen are willing to follow her when she already had a moment of leading them.

Definitely agree on Janis and Damian, they were some of the best parts of this movie. Auli’i brought an interesting energy to Janis and I really enjoyed her performance.

I think I know whey they chose her as the lead …but Renee definitely became the lead instead.

You’ve played Damien?? That’s so cool! I would love to play Janis, 100% agree with you tho that Regina, Janis and Damien were the stars of this movie

Relatable tho

Let’s not say that cause they casted Renee rapp as Regina and whoever played Damien, oh my god. Chef’s kiss. Those two decisions right there were the BEST options 😂

Like casting Angourie Rice as Katy

It all started with them casting two actors that can't sing

@@calamaria9221 the second better not be Renée or Auli’i

I’d never seen the clips of his performance before, and oh my god it’s so hilariously awful. How did this even happen??

​@@coco604 One theory is that the casting directors wanted to get Shawn Mendes, but got him confused with Cameron Dallas.

@@cami_cosmos I want this to be true so bad. That's hilarious. What I heard is just the usual they wanted to drive ticket sale and they figured his majorly pre-teen girl audience would splurge on tickets to watch the musical. And since they're a part of the target audience it would work. Which is plausible but not as funny.

@@cami_cosmos That is amazing I really hope that's true

The “cow” in that bit genuinely HAUNTS me because it genuinely sounds like they did a separate take of the word cow and it sounds so awful 💀

@@kitsune630 they editted it in

It's part of the extremely small cycles of nostalgia designed to make you "feel old." I put in quotes bc I try not to buy into that way of thinking. The same thing happened when they revived High School Musical less than 10 years after the last one came out....the same gen z-millenial cuspers who loved HSM were now graduating college, at peak time of hyper nostalgia and reminiscing on childhood and as we know from the absolute lunacy of skincare/beauty/health industry/patriarchy, were already in prime position to be made to feel bad about aging and becoming adults with responsibilities (why???!this is what we were primed to do??). Not to say this was the *only* purpose of reviving that intellectual property lol but it's definitely a tactic companies find lucrative right now. That's why the marketing of "not your mother's mean girls" is not really made to make sense. It is mainly meant to make young people feel old and children feel older and more mature. Sure, the math could work out for *some* people, but it's more about the feeling. They're basically wanting to say: "This is new, this is shiny, let's continue some imaginary generation war to idk distract from EVERYTHING else?" When you're a child and a teenager, adulthood feels *so* far away. 10 years feels like a lifetime. And it makes sense since even a year is such a big percentage of the time you've been on earth. It's truly not personal, brands, and their ideas about you just want to imprint themselves in your mind when you're young and then poke at it the rest of your life lol nothing major I say all this cause it's fine even wonderful to enjoy a property being revived you enjoy or to be sad about it but every single day we're innundated with agism-- like we're seeing even 9 year old girls are stressed about aging--and it's all constructed (in sooo many ways)!! We are the ones who they want to influence, we have the power here to enjoy what we enjoy and not get caught in all the ridiculousness!! Lol I realized a wrote a bunchh

Among my peers, about 15% have children, and the oldest ones are like in 5th grade, i.e, they are not the target audience. And we graduated in 2005, one year after the movie was released. So yes, this line makes no sence whatsoever.

i'm so glad they let him be a part of a major motion picture

@@harryjamesmiller same 🙏 he made some absolute bangers

Is that real? How do I find it 😭

It's not a joke! It's on his tiktok but people were saying that the new songs from the movie sounded like smth danny would make, so Danny responded on tiktok and made a joke vid saying he did make all the songs and he included clips of himself singing a cover of Stupid with Love !!

wait can someone please timestamp this?

@@tangerinemachine12:27 haha

@@flyaway1omg thank you lol

For real like The best musicals know they’re musicals, I don’t want a closeted musical

I would K/LL to get a full bootleg w her omg

Yeah, there were some moments of more subtle acting from her in the movie that really stood out, and showed that given the right role she could really shine. Like in the scene where Gretchen tells her that Regina is cheating on Aaron, there's a great bit of physical acting from Angourie where her eyes kind of flash and her breathing quickens as she listens, but she's trying to hold it all back so Gretchen doesn't notice. That honestly gave me more charecterization for Cady than the whole rest of the movie.

this is fair

🎶 Sexy Tina 🎶 train conductress 🎶

Her character is very different from Regina in thr original movie. She has this disafected, obvious mean girl demeanor which is totally opposite of how the original Regina portrays herself. I mean in the original movie, Cady's first impression of Regina is that "she seems sweet." But they changed that to "she seems cool" because there's no way musical Regina could be called sweet. She always looks rather superior and bored and is blatantly very mean to people's faces. Original Regina comes of across as much nicer but is more vicious behind people's backs.

That's crazy cause I'm around that age range and everyone i know loves the OG Mean Girls 😅

@@bemiatto67same?? I’m 19 and everyone I know loves and respects mean girls as a cult classic

WOOOO

Hearing Stupid with Love after listening to the original Broadway cast version is like being drugged. How are all these songs so autotuned and overproduced yet so lazy and low energy at the same time??

This is why I haven’t watched the movie yet, I knew I’d get angry hahah

Of the book

Yes!!!!!!!

i'm not sure the point is to say t-pain can't sing, it's to compare the lead to someone well-known for using auto-tune to ephasize that she can't sing. and the movie clearly isn't going for a stylistic choice

Yep I grew up immersed in Mean Girls and I’m only 30. Sure, old enough to have kids, but not kids old enough to be really “getting” this remake
