We decided to go see this even after seeing the subpar reviews. That's what it is, it is a worse but still not bad Mean Girls. Good for a reboot, bad for a Movie. I think that the casting for Regina is good, I was worried about Reneé Rapp but she was by far the best plastic. I think Gretchen was cast well, but Karen and Katy I think ruined the movie. The theater was empty. They should have gone all in on the musical aspect or not at all. There were maybe 4 songs that I remember but otherwise it was just them talking. It is almost the identical plot. Instead of watching this, or God forbid spending money on it, just watch the original Mean Girls again.

So this movie really tried but the downside is you can see and feel how hard they tried. Let me explain. They wanted to have the feel of the original but still make it feel like 2024, after all, there's a big different between the times lf the original and the musical. The musical part was fun...sometimes. Some of these actors/actresses just weren't good at singing. I adored Karen's ditzy side in the original but I just couldn't like her character in this one. Same with Regina, she was the ultimate mean girl in the original. In this remake I felt like she just couldn't reach that level. The look and feel of the whole movie is a little off. Just don't go in with high hopes and you'll have a fun time! I think I made a mistake by comparing every scene to the original but I love the original and I was just so excited for this version! 6 stars for making me feel nostalgic but -1 star for making me leave the theater disappointed.

It was fun but not a good movie. The music is really meant for live action and the movie kinda just looks like a bunch of music videos. The original is way better and has better pacing than this version. Plus 80% of the actors are not fit for the roles they got. It's also missing the best part which is the original Christmas show dance. Some of the meta jokes were fun but they didn't space them out enough. The mean girls were not mean enough and it seems they were very afraid of offending which I get but this feels like they put safety guards on bullying. Also the lesson is punched so in face you can't not understand it and made me feel like they thought I am stupid.
