Whenever Nick says the title of a movie, an angel gets it's wings.

Fun fact that glossed over: Ashley Park, Emily in Paris, actually played Gretchen on Broadway for the musical of Mean Girls. Which is more so why she was featured in the movie. Her being the French teacher is sort of a double knudge to her personal resume.

As a fan of the musical, some of the songs that I felt were really funny or important were cut. Renée Rapp is my queen, she released her debut album earlier this year. She played Regina on broadway when she was only 19 and she KILLED it. She is a queer icon and she can bully me any day. The songs that I feel best translated to the film version were “Sexy” and “Someone Gets Hurt”. Ashley Park was a cameo as well she played the original Gretchen on broadway. Aaron Samuels isn’t crazy buff and looks like he hasn’t slept for weeks which as someone born in the year 2000 I can confirm that is the male beauty standard for gen z’s.

Ashley Park also originated the role of Gretchen on Broadway.

Nick's expression in the thumbnail 😂😂

I cannot believe it's been 20 years since the 2004 one, I was 14 when it came out and I was obsessed with Lindsay Lohan, as a young teenager I thought she was just beautiful and I wanted to look like her lol

The Regina George character is in the sex life of college girls, she plays a lesbian…as a professor, I appreciate the show 😊

Glad y’all enjoyed it. I’ll prob wait for it to go on streaming

Rachel McAdams was ONE year older than Rene Rapp is now when the original came out. Angourie Rice is 6 years older that Lindsay Lohan was

When you said strangers with candy I lost it!!!

God I want his shirt of the unicorn pooping rainbows.

Thanks guys! I'll check this out when it comes to steaming. That 'care of yourself' line is my kind of humor.

I love Renee. She's from that show on HBO!!! she's amazing.

Y’all cat yowling at the end lmao, mine does the same😂 Love y’all’s discussions ❤

Cool Lindsay Lohan made a cameo. I was thinking she'd be in it.

Josephs tshirt 😂😂😂

I joined Patreon, but I don’t think I sent a “thank you” 😮so here it is: Thank you!

Mean girls 2024 was not fetch

Nick’s side expressions crack me up. He’s so cute. The stage musical was very underwhelming. The fact that they could cut 14 songs doesn’t surprise me at all because I thought the whole show was quite forgettable. If you both liked Renee, you should check out her interview with Jennifer Hudson. They sing Dangerously in Love and she sounds amazing on it.

No way the first one was 20 years ago.😮

I wish they had advertised the movie as a musical adaptation more... It was fun. I love the theatre and musicals, so it was a good time for me 😊

Yessss I’m so excited thank you for your review

Thank you for reminding me of Monet's LSFYL.

😂 Someone take the cat outside.

This review is Fetch. Hollywood is kinda Mean Girls. Women gotta look a certain way and be a certain weight to sit at the strong lead table 😂 unfortunately

I didnt enjoy the first movie like that. But glad to see this movie wasn’t bad from your point of views.

You’re both just Delightful

The girl who plays Regina's mom is Busy Phillips!! Her sister is Bijou Phillips and their parents were in the band the Mama's and the Papa's. Also Busy was in White Chicks!!

I feel asleep. Didnt realize it wss musical. I wasnt really feeling it. 😕 Good review guys! ✌🏾

Really there’s no reason for this movie to exist. Removing/changing some language to appease today’s cultural sensibilities is one of the reasons why. The movie is a time capsule for us old high schoolers of 2004, and it was so popular because that’s really how kids talked back then. it’s not a product of or for gen z. Sure they added music, which I’m still curious about, but it just doesn’t work for most fans as a 2024 story.

I loved it a lot. I felt like it was so polished and given so much care. I also feel like they modernized it well.

God Aaron is a downgrade in terms of looks in this version mean girls.

Yesssss!!! ❤

Have yall seen Down Low with Quinto and Luke Gage? I don't see it on the list but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Ms. Norberry and Principal Duvall are a couple in the new version, but they definitely had sexual tension in the original.

I always think reboots like this are weird because millennials really aren’t that old. Looking at the box office and adjusted for inflation is did about the same as the 2004. What will be interesting is who actually saw it. I agree they should have done a rated R version because I bet millennials saw this more than Gen Z. Gen Z isn’t going to the movies like other generations. They also aren’t into the same things like Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter based off the audiences the last few years. I think studios should really try to give this new generation something for them.

the new arrangements for the songs are terrible (except Sexy) in my opinion compared to the stage version

Liked the original one. I'm planning to see this film later this month.

okay, sounds innocuous. i'll give it a li'l view

I liked the original and will stream this

What the Color Purple is to Generation X is what Mean Girls is to Millennials/Gen Z. Both classics that were made into Broadway musicals that were then transferred to the silver screen. The original leads of the musicals reprise their lead roles in the movie musical versions, and the lead actresses of the movie versions both make an appearance in their respective movies 😊 Can't wait to see which movie turned musical is next up😀 😂

It was fun👍🏾💯

Songs were good with the visuals imo. Wouldn't listen to it again standalone

Still haven’t seen the original. 😅 Did y’all do a review for that one?

I loved Renee and Avantika! I don’t plan to watch this movie again lol

Hey Guys, big fan of the original but i just dont see the point of the update and i have heard like u said the music is forgettable....I feel this will replace in peoples minds what Mean Girls the movie is and the younger audience wont see the original would wud be a shame as its such a classic..Thanks for the review guys..I like Lindsey Lohan, i kind of assumed some of the O.G characters wud be the moms of the Plastics which is a shame😊U seem to have liked it so Maybe i will wait till it streams to watch..

Ashley park was tge original gretchen on broadway

For a musical, the songs were not memorable at all. Also it was almost word for word on a lot of it. Wouldn’t have been mad if it was just a straight remake

actually those race jokes, fat shaming, and other slurs are present on broadway musical

Wait… so it’s GOOD?!? 🤯

Loved this movie ❤Damien was so funny 😆

Wait did you talk about Damien I just skip to the part to where y’all talked about the cast

I stole the (KZfaq) TV!

I had never seen the original. My wife and I had seen posters for the movie, but nothing suggested it was a musical. We were both very confused when it started. We both thought it was terrible, but like the movie Malignant or Get Out, I thought it was hilarious. It was even more fun to watch her roll her eyes every time they started singing. It's not that she doesn't like musicals, just not this. The lyrics to some of the songs are funny, but I doubt most highschoolers know the "animal, vegetable, or mineral" game, and it felt weird seeing women that are clearly adults playing teens and dancing/dressing provocatively.

Have you guys watched Angourie Rice in #HonorSociety?

Cash grab!

I actually thought a musical remake of Mean Girls could have been good. The movie was well cast and funny in parts but what doomed it for me was the songs. However, nothing on the pop music charts these days appeals to me so that could be the reason. If this movie was made 10 years ago, I may have enjoyed it more. I did like High School Musical and Hairspray, but I also liked that era of pop music which influenced the songs, both from a written and production standpoint. I did like The Greatest Showman as well but that musical wasn't trying to mimic the charts. Regina had a unique voice whose numbers got my attention, but at the end of the day, I can't remember one single song from this movie despite just watching it last night. I thought Jenna Fischer and Busy Phillips were inspired casting because they looked so much like their screen daughters.

Meoooow meoooww

As far as target audience, I don’t think it was for just the elder millennials, if at all. The young fan base for the Broadway musical was rabid for it when it was on stage, and movie musicals tend to get a dedicated audience from the ones who know the play. So I think it was green lit with the intention of it being for the theatre kids, but they saw an opportunity for a cash grab with the younger TikTok audience.

I am a huge “mean girls” fan and this may come across as blasphemous, but I think the musical improved on several parts of the story. They really let the ending breathe and the story is better for it.

It's to bad Lindsay Lohan isn't going to be in this film

People keep saying “modern” 20 years is a minute but it’s not an insane amount of time

I disagree I think Daniel is better and the plastics I just love the original better I just think this movie is ok it’s to much I love Lindsay Lohan way better sorry not sorry no ok Rachel McAdams is amazing. They’re all amazing. I love the original original cast is amazing. And Christopher Briney is in the tv series the summer I turned pretty I love you guys please get it right

“Mean Girls 2024” has been gradually losing momentum at the box office. The reasons have been discussed at length. Meanwhile true sleeper hit romcom “Anyone but You” has held steady well into its run! making $103.9 million as of 26 January worldwide so far on a $25 million budget. * Spoilers Ahead * From a romcom superfan-of romcoms from the 1930s to the present. I love “Anyone but You”, and here are numerous things I like about this romcom for this new era and so popular now with Gen Z and a true box office success! 1. Director Will Gluck Easter eggs for “Easy A”: Ojai T-shirt and numerous shots of oranges. “Easy A” is set in Ojai, California and Gluck tried to include many oranges in scenes. 2. The meet cute scene at the cafe (one of many romcom tropes I fully embrace in the film). 3. Bea’s sex-like gymnastics above Ben on the plane after stealing his cookie. 4. The use of “Unwritten”, beginning in the airline scene. Which becomes a glorious leitmotif song for the movie-and a TikTok phenomenon! 5. Gorgeous Alexandra Shipp and Hadley Robinson as the loving wedding couple-indeed, all the couples in the movie including the parents. 6. GaTa as the loyal, clever, irrepressible best friend. 7. Ben’s vulnerabilities of being older, fit-looking but “hot girl fit” aka no cardio aka no endurance. 8. The romantic yacht dance Bea and Ben share, “Titanic”, and the night harbor scene. The Opera House backdrop to our two lovers on a buoy is iconic. As is the helicopter rescue to the song “Unwritten”-followed by that sexy shower scene. 9. The audacious leap off the cliff leading to the second chopper airlift of Ben to the Opera House for that exhilarating declaration of love and kissing and Bea saying, “Tomorrow, running for Mr. No Cardio”. 10. The whole end scene done to “Unwritten. 11. The other songs besides leitmotif tune “Unwritten”, as well as the film’s music score… 12. The heady romance of it all!

Since I've not seen the first, seems, this continues successfully by keeping the 'clique' behavior alive and well, but🥲polished with more music, and 2024 friendly themes!
