Lmbo!! I never caught that😂😂😂

Ummm... except not. Like bro the OG Mean Girls is available on YT for free. Just watched it with my girl after we saw Mean Girls '24. It was decent people getting butthurt about it are funny😂😂😂

@@MiguellaGorilla Except yes? That's why Regina thought she was a lesbian. Janis literally has a boyfriend at the end of the movie, which you claim to have seen despite clearly not knowing anything about it. And people that call others "butt hurt" are the ones sounding like douche canoes.

@@englishatheart well you definitely are acting as though you have a hurt but your overall commentary that Regina George confused lesbian with Lebanese is easily disproven by the part in the movie where Regina is relaying to Cady herb interpretation of the falling out that she had with Janice and it was literally there are going to be girls there in their swimsuits and Janice is a lesbian and it wouldn't be appropriate I mean this is literally in the movie about a halfway through so I'm really at a loss for what kind of argument you're trying to make here I can't advise you it isn't a good one. Stay salty and stay butthurt and cry harder your tears are delicious

I never knew that 😮 In which part do they say that? Now I have to rewatch the movie hahaha 😂

And then they remade Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 🤦‍♀️

​@@LizRealGirlBeauty with women as the scoundrels. Not even Rebel Wilson could save that movie.

@@ericpeterson8732 it was terrible. And really pissed me off because I have loved the original since I was a kid. Steve Martin is a legend.

@@LizRealGirlBeauty I'm glad Back to the Future will never be remade.

I'm sure there are a great many movies that failed but with a better script might have been better received 😊

I think changing things is good when you're making a remake if they offer a new take on things. Tomboys being called gay is a real thing but if we're changing it up; Gay people do actually have this experience growing up, all your friends suddenly think you might like them and get awkward around you. It can be very isolating so it felt realistic in the movie. Also Janice and Damien hanging out felt realistic because they wouldn't have that tension between them, they could find that comfort in each other as outcasts.

Just because Janis is a lesbian doesn’t mean she’s in love with Regina lmao gay people don’t just automatically fall in love with every single person of the same gender any more than straight people do for every person of the opposite sex. Like, Janis and Cady were friends and Janis never hit on her so clearly it didn’t have to mean she was in love with Regina either.

@@piratesswoop725 obviously. I'm not saying she is in love with Regina. Even if she is a lesbian it's still unlikely she's in love with Regina. I'm saying in Regina's eyes it gives it more plausibility. It's worked in the original coz it was completely ridiculous, so much so that Janice would have to be a lesbian specifically for her which showed the height of Regina's delusion and self obsession. In the new one it could be possible. It's very unlikely but it could be . The original it was impossible so it was more ridiculous when Regina said it. I agree it's unlikely and Janice doesn't live Regina but Regina thinks otherwise and has some avenue of justification when she had none before, so it loses some comedic value. It's not about what the audience thinks is the likely scenario. It isn't likely , we know that. It's about what Regina thinks, and the more likely the situation that Janice could love her, the less funny the joke

I agree completely! Also - in the original, it shows how quickly a totally fabricated or exaggerated RUMOR can ruin someone’s high school life and how impossible it can be to squash it or change people’s perception bc high schoolers often PREFER to believe whichever narrative is more dramatic and salacious. If you hold a lot of power in your high school - you can almost get away with sabotaging anyone you want with an untrue story because everyone will want to jump on board with you. So I felt it was an important element to Janice’s story that the rumor be completely UNTRUE because it added a whole other layer to the experience of being ostracized for something you aren’t in the first place. If she’s ACTUALLY a lesbian (like she is in the new version) - then she’s still being unfairly ostracized or judged…but at least it’s for something that she actually IS…at least she’s able to be authentically herself. She’s not masking herself or leaning into a narrative about her that isn’t actually who she is (like she did in the original as a form of self-defense). So yeah - making the rumor true in the new film took away a lot layers to Janice’s experience that made her situation more complicated and relatable IMO. Being the victim of 100% fabricated rumor in high school is the absolute worst and it happens to so many of us.

it doesn't raise that actually because lesbians aren't automatically in love with their female friends

I’m a tomboy and am normal…

And that misses the point of the original. Regina blatantly spread rumor about her being a lesbian and the resulting bullying she received drove her to her goth edgy phase. Plus in 2024, Janic would be thanking Regina for outing her as a lesbian...

No I'm pretty sure Janis WAS gay in the original

They need to fill the quotas for the Oscars

​@@elizabethlevesque6978 she ended up with Kevin Gnapoor

i agree i think some of the songs like fearless which were pretty important should've stayed but I'm actually not that mad with the movie as of now (I'm probably the only movie liker in the comment section ._.) but I do think this movie took a big tank with some of the comedy and music - I still think the point where the music doesn't show character growth is a lie tho cus "whats wrong with me" has gretchin doubting the system she believed so...

@@coffeetastesreallygood I didn’t like the movie, but I dislike for different reasons than everyone in these comments who seem to hate it because they’re homophobic 😑

@@auraliecherise well damn my brain just thought they cared a lot about janices ark I did not notice that - but fair enough ur opinion is urs :D

World Burn was good imo because Renee was singing it and she already killed it on the stage before so she knew exactly what energy to put into it. Although I did like Auli’i’s rendition of I’d Rather Be Me and Avantika’s Sexy.

The book dropping was pathetic and anti-climactic.

We cannot!

She never denied it

she had a huge Lebanese crush on Regina!

Nope. Janis was Cady's conscience that drew her back from the Plastics side.

Nah, Janis was mean to the mean girls. She was nice and respectful to everyone else. She did use Cady though, maybe not necessarily realizing she was doing it.

It's not really a remake of the movie. It's a movie production of a stage musical version of the movie. But it's still bad.

Can't wait to see how bad they screw up American Psycho

Right? I was like oh no. They're going to ruin this now too? 😢

2004 : Katee Sackhoff gender swapped Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica in a believable way and we loved her character 2023 : Katee Sackhoff relaces the now oddly weak and dumb Mandalorian. Destroys the franchise. Mandalorian movie mooted, will be boycotted. My comment and this movie highlight the consequences of letting completely out of touch activists destroy existing IPs 😢 The whole anti male slash patriarchy song said it all. I'm pushing sixty and no WAY does that sentiment reflect me, we're all equal ffs.

It’s not just superior, it’s feces is better than mean girls 2024’s existence. What I mean is, 2004 mean girls poops better movies than mean girls 2024 😊

I thought the original mean girls came out back in twenty twenty four?😊

You just made me realise it came out 20 years ago...

get over it

um do u mean the line in id rather be me? if so i would like to make note that she wasn't blaming the men she was saying a product of women being told to act another way meant full feelings couldn't be produced in the freedom men could so women made backstabbing and gossiping in the masses... but you do you I'm not making any insults or enemies!!! just saying it how I saw it (I also hate the blaming men for women problems stuff but this to me just seems a little different ;-;)

@@coffeetastesreallygood Externalizing the causes for women's failures and toxicity to an outside factor (men, masculinity, misogyny, patriarchy, society, tradition, religion, unconscious bias, the tooth fairy, etc.) instead of acknowledging the faults and defects of women and girls' behavior is always synonymous with women's malignant narcissism and, of course, toxic feminism.

More like musical theatre fans because it was based off of the broadway musical but it still sucked lol

Yeah, it's catered to "modern audiences". That's exactly why it doesn't work... It has nothing to say other than "Look at how inclusive we are!"

@@auraliecherise did you not read my comment at all? I clearly stated that I’m not gay, people bullied me and said I was when I WAS NOT!

I was bullied for people thinking I was gay for being a little bit feminine while being EXTREMELY masculine. When in the school all the guys we pretty much feminine at the time so I had no idea why they thought I was gay when most of them knew I liked a girl

@@ZachClarkFilms I relate. This is exactly what happened to me as well.

@@englishatheart Chill lol

the movie was a classic

@@XxforevercandygirlXx the 2004 movie was absolutely a classic

i think it was to keep the fact that mean girls is mean girls and if anyone did that it would change the narrative of the film which then isn't rlly a adaptation that's just a new film with the cast of a different one

Didn't they incorporate today's social media obsessed culture into the film? Felt like they did

@@sumguy789654 they included cancel culture through tiktok ;-;

@@sumguy789654 They did, idk what this person is talking about because there are several aspects of social media in the film. Karen’s song starts with her live streaming, Regina’s fall during the winter talent show is blasted all over social media, it’s mentioned in a song lyric too.

I saw the Les Mis movie without the singing and loved it. I thought the whole time “they had this then they added singing?! why ruin a good thing”

Thing is, there're plenty of people who can both sing and act. They just didn't cast them.

@@englishatheartthat part!

@@laherejado you mean the one from the 90s where i think geoffrey rush played javert and liam neeson is valjean??? that one is mind numbingly boring though. its so much better in musical form. if anything, just watch the 10th anniversary cast version on youtube. it’s a concert setup but its so good. there’s never been a better valjean than colm wilkinson

@@englishatheart the casting was great - Renee Rapp fricking killed it on Broadway and is amazing in this; Auli'i Cravalho is the best Disney "princess" of this millenium and kills it as Janis; Jaquel Spivey has received a Tony Nomination for Best Actor and also won multiple other awards and nominations for it. Thats three people who have been nominated/awarded for musical roles, both on Broadway and in film. They can SING.

Now I know, I still couldn't care less. I won't be watching it. We live in a time where something smells long before it happens.

it’s not a remake.

Janice is Lebanese, hence the joke of Ragina spreading the rumor at 13 because of a simple misunderstanding. It’s a great joke that was lost.

It’s only cool to be in on the internet or in the America.

depends on where, lol. it's still criminalized in over 80 countries (granted, half of these aren't gonna imprison or kill women, but this probably means that the women will be sent to a mental institution in this scenario)

Not every country is cool with lgbt people

She’s pandering to the right wing nuts like the other KZfaq channels, they only use buzzwords like woke and DEI, she’s looking for the ultimate grift. Reactionary insecure people lol

When you focus only on the colour of the skin and making straight characters gay (which not only took away a character’s entire history but the entire plot of the first movie) and worrying only about how many times you can fit gay and lesbian scenes into the movie, it really ruins it. Changing Karen’s race didn’t bother me as much as how pathetic and stupid the actress was. It was like watching a dumb person imitate an even dumber person. Too hard to watch.

* looks at literally every other flop that DEI touches * HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM???????????

trueee

@@LegendJ0e4because the jokes have to be altered to be politically correct and not offensive. People laughed at themselves more in the early 2000s without thinking people hated them.

@@orangejuicethanks Have you seen the way Gen Z talk on the internet? They’re absolutely nasty. The problem with this film is that it mostly adapts from the libretto, and the libretto is adapted from the original movie and all three of these were pretty much written by Tina Fey, who is a early Gen Xer who at times seemed disconnected from millennial teens in the original but is even moreso disconnected from Gen Z. There is absolutely a way to adapt this to fit Gen Z slang and insults, but then you’d get people whining about how they changed the jokes so it’s a lose/lose situation.

Because we can't address toxic femininity the way the original did, that's not woke! That's misogynistic! We need to be able to blame men... (yes, I'm being sarcastic, that's what millennials do)

you ate with this response, like especially with point i because like why are people acting like a middle aged dad’s opinions of this film are relevant, no duh he’s going to dislike a film about mostly teenage girls and teenage girl drama. if she’d shown him the 2004 film instead he probably would’ve hated it too 😂

@@piratesswoop725 omg thanks i was worried I was coming off as to mean or judgmental but I'm happy you think my points are valid!!

​@@darianstarfrogyeah totally that's why wish got a bad score and most marvel movies are rotten nowadays

Agreed almost made me choke 😅

Bebe is Cuban. In a interview the writers “found out” she was Cuban so they changed her from Jewish to Latina

Bebe Wood is Latina… what are you talking about

Janis was literally named Janis Ian, the lesbian singer. Whether they made her lesbian or not doesnt ruin the movie becuase regina still bullied her for it. Also Bebe Wood is definitely latina LOL tf.

Karen is still dumb so I don’t see why you’re mad.

Calling someone a lesbian when they are and a pyro for starting fires when mad is not “bullying”. It’s stating facts that the “pyro-les” doesn’t like. The OG was about Regina ruining Janice’s life by claiming she was a lesbian when she is NOT so Janice got back at her. What’s the plot for the new one? The lesbian pyro is mad about being called out for what she is so she attacks the so-called “bully” for calling her out?? Pathetic.

Lol. I miss the mean black girl hotties and the mean Asian girl hotties 😭 Tbh I realized they took out most of what was relatable to real life. This movie tried so hard not to offend the new gen so maybe they’ll enjoy this more.

The OG’s. Not the remakes.

the mom is single because they got rid of extraneous characters in the musical version. the same actress who plays the mom on broadway also plays regina’s mom AND mrs. norbury. but her dad isn’t a character, and neither iirc is regina’s dad, although he has the briefest blink and you miss it cameo in this film.

Face it, they got rid of the nuclear family.

You sound triggered bro. By the way, DEI is literally a product of the left. It’s their words, not conservative’s.

It was woke af

@@XxforevercandygirlXx yawn you’re hateful, we get it

RIGHT? We saw it on Broadway and it was AWESOME. The fact that they removed so many of the best songs - Where Do You Belong, Stop… HELLO? made me not want to see the movie version.

@@richelledickerson9892I never liked Stop, but It Roars was fantastic. And I feel like all the songs were sang and played better in the live show. I’ve got the vinyl, (Taylor Loadernan era) and I still listen to it regularly.

sort of-initially regina just leaves the physical book in the hallway. someone finds it and then they do take pictures and send them over social media. so that way the principal has the book itself but then the photos are also all over social media.

It was seriously anti-climactic for Regina

Ikr like where is this high school located at? Time square? C’mon bruh 😂😂

I don't know why Janice had to have a lesbian date.

Its a musical. Whats realistic about people bursting into song randomly?

@abby_birthday the musical element has nothing to do with the forced diversity of the student body cast. Where did you think you were going with that comment?

@rachalc3092 "Unrealistically diverse". Remember it's a musical. And also the schools I went to were this diverse. So what's your point?

Two, the Broadway musical is great too

Calling reneé ugly is so crazy

Big tits and a pretty face doesn’t make you an idol for an entire high school of conceited girls

The men were all ugly, the women were average to pretty.

you must be triggered because she is speaking facts

So rude to reneé and for what? She has experience playing Regina on broadway and was easily one of the most talented people in that movie, and sorry to break this to you but the new film isn’t set in the 2000’s so 🤷‍♀️

what the heck is a gigantor lol all three of the original mean girls were pretty but they were also extremely popular because they were wealthy. nobody would give a dummy like karen a second glance if she’d just been a regular middle class nobody.

@@jessica-nesstbh she’s amazing but her costumes (I did like the angel) were so bad. Actually most of the fashion in this just did not hit. The new Regina wasn’t even as angry as the old one (writing idk). They aren’t judging the actors just the characters written.

What I do care about is that writers and multi billion dollar companies giving minorities like myself hand me downs and expect us to act like a neglected dog, standing on its hind legs and begging for a piece of meat, only to be given leftovers. Janis is not real representation, it's a hand-me-down. But nowadays authors know they can just make a random character gay (bonus points if it's a side character so that they could be edited out in releases for homophobic countries and lives up to some stereotypes) instead of writing an original one and get away with it. Because the stans will run to the writers' defense and call the naysayers homophobic and gaslight minorities like myself who didn't ask for it. All while the writers don't care about representation or all this stuff they love to virtue signal about, they care about their wallets. I never asked for this, I wanted an original character.
