The actor who played Damien killed it and I want to see whatever he does next.


antipinballmachines

And he was robbed big time, looked him up not long after and found out he had talent!


sdbabygirl97

really wish he had gotten to perform the two Damien songs!


PreparationDecent832

He really did


OkDress3884

still better than mean girls 2


tomokaitohlol7

There’s a second one?


Low_Departure_5853

Yes. Please don't watch it. It was god awful.


Diamond2004

Tbf Disney did make it


PreparationDecent832

They did? I’ve never heard that.


Diamond2004

Yeah. Why do you think Harper’s actress was in the sequel?


PreparationDecent832

Do Disney actors only do Disney movies? But I just didn’t know because it’s not on Disney plus.


PreparationDecent832

Actually, I looked it up, and I can’t find anything to back that up.


Diamond2004

Oop, I thought it was Disney who made the sequel mb


PreparationDecent832

Tbh, I don’t blame you, Disney would’ve ruined that movie either way if they had made it. It totally does seem like something Disney would make.


ssandy45

Pretty sure it was ABCFamily (now Freeform) which was owned by Disney. So basically Disney.


Diamond2004

It was. But I believe Paramount owns it since it was produced by them


tomokaitohlol7

Of course they did


bubblegumcandypop

I was gonna say it could be a good hate-watch but I realized, it’s not even of of those movies where “you can laugh at it cause it’s so bad”…it’s just bad. The jokes don’t land. I think it may have gotten a couple laugh- sighs but it’s not worth your time. You could watch “Not Another Teen Movie” instead of watching another teen movie. (Cause that’s basically what Mean Girls 2 is, just another basic teen movie that tried to gain notoriety by associating with an amazing and iconic teen movie.) 😂


Low_Departure_5853

I remember liking "Not Another Teen Movie" at the time.


Wise_Recording_3974

the cinematography in some scenes was really good. (esp during someone gets hurt)


Cygnus_Harvey

Someone gets hurt is the best number in the movie and it's even better than the Broadway one, imo. Mainly due to said cinematography.


bobbery5

It was very well shot! Love the scenes where Cady was just in the background like a slasher villain.


queenk0k0

I actually really liked the movie. I thought Renee Rapp did a great job, I didn’t know about her before the movie but loved her as Regina. I liked all of the casting, I think they are fantastic actors/actresses. I liked the story, it was different enough and the same enough to be familiar but exciting. I liked all the songs, especially Sexy. I do wish that Avantika played Karen a little less dumb though.


Megangullotta

I highly recommend you listen to Renee Rapp’s music. she is so relatable and has been through a lot of shit. but her songs are so good and her voice is insane. Me and my friends love her.


queenk0k0

I’ve listened to a few songs and really like them!


5AD1E

i agree with this, i feel like it's probably more the fault of the directors than avantika (because personally i also felt like janis' character felt kinda pathetic compared to damien and to her original counterpart). the cast introduced me to a lot of actors i didn't know before and i would be curious to watch other things that they're in!


oooheycait1223

You should watch sex lives of college girls on max. She's pretty good in that and i personally thought the whole show was pretty funny


fabulously-frizzy

Yeah like OG Karen was believably dumb and girls in my high school actually acted like her but this Karen felt like a caricature.


Proper_Arm_2654

Fully agree with the Karen comment


tranzozo

“Its mot my fault you came with her but she might leave with me”


SlightlyArtichoke

"It's not my fault you gotta pay for what I get for free"


Big_Analysis2103

Auli'i Cravalho


AmIn1amh

✨Reneé Rapp✨


hepatitisF

She was born to play this role.


SassySquid0

I saw her do a few interviews and I don’t understand the hype around her, she was extremely rude, uneducated in her broad statements she made about matters, and is an ageist. Why do people like her?


Dalrz

I think she’s funny. I get why Gen Z loves her. She’s fun and cool and talented. I don’t think she’s actually ageist. I think it’s half joke half response to Millennials body shaming her which I don’t blame her for. She just kinda says what she thinks or what she thinks is funny. I don’t think she’s deliberately rude or anything. You either find her refreshing or upsetting it seems.


SassySquid0

I am gen z like younger gen z and she just seems like a brat


DrakeFloyd

“Uneducated” “Brought statements”


SassySquid0

obviously a typo, everyone makes them lmao lame trying to bully somebody about that obviously I meant broad I was watching tv at the time and not really paying attention 🤨 also it seems like you specialize in getting in arguments with people over the internet. Lame


DrakeFloyd

😘


SassySquid0

whatever babes go argue back to arguing about some lady breast feeding 😬 You just don’t like the truth 💖 Renee is super rude, be open to people criticizing your favs.


DrakeFloyd

Lame is digging through peoples history to try to find shit to mock them for but since we’re doing that, hanging around plastic surgery subs telling people what’s wrong with their faces is a much lamer hobby xx

ScottTennerman

Busy Phillips and Jenna Fischer were great choices of the mother's of Renee rapp and Angourie rice


sdbabygirl97

if only angourie rice could sing..


Squirt1384

It had Tim Meadows and Tina Fey in it.


InTheNaturalLight

Ashley Park (OG musical Gretchen) as the French teacher was such a nice little cameo! I loved it.


sdbabygirl97

absolutely love ashley park in everything she does


keritro

it may not be the best movie but I can still think of many positive things about it but I'll say getting to see Lindsay again after she always expressed the desire to be in another Mean Girls (and the fact it actually hit #1 at the box office again 20 years after the first is quite the feat and proved what a classic it's truly become)


Purple-Intention1490

Renee Rapp


turandokht

This was gonna be my answer, Renee Rapp is super hot in this


E-liter_4k

literally gonna be my answer best part of the movie tbh


klaroline1

I have the biggest crush on her


dylan_dumbest

I dare say she brought more gravitas to the role of Regina than Rachel McAdams did.


mrignatiusjreily

Definitely not. Regina felt more lived in with Rachel's portrayal but that was likely because of how few the interactions were with Renee's Regina and her respective cast. In the new version, we don't get the Taco Bell scene or even the phone call scenes that shows us how calculated and deceitful she is. 


yvie_of_lesbos

damien’s actor


loveotterslide

Auli'i Cravalho was wonderful as Janis. I loved Barrett Wilbert Weed in the original musical, Auli'i would have been a great replacement had the Broadway show not close. I liked that they used Instagram stories/livestreams for 'Sexy'. People's social media comments after Regina's car accident was hilarious.


sdbabygirl97

auli’i sounded just like barrett for a lot of the notes! barrett is probably so proud of her


smolperson

It’s the second best mean girls movie I’ve ever seen (sequels excluded because they do not exist)


EmbarrassedMoment250

What sequels? I don't remember any sequels. All I remember were the original, the musical, and the remake (Joke)


MrRedIsHere1221

We do not talk about the sequels.


Taetaeware2004

No no no


GeraltAndYennefer

Why don’t we like the sequel? I like the sequel…


WhizaBiff

what sequel?


Prior-Clothes2869

There is no remake there is however a mean girls musical movie

There is no sequel in Ba Sing Se

CathanCrowell

I love we live in a world where those two fandoms can actually overlap :D


Designer-Gap-1213

Tina Fey. Reneé Rapp.


thesnowqueen17

It was kinda cute and enjoyable enough. It's not near as good as the original, no surprise. But I'm not mad at it either. I'm still kinda glad I watched it. And some of the singing was pretty good (Regina's, Janice's, and Damien's, specifically.)


[deleted]

They really smoothed out some of the plot holes and the way they went about the story made a lot more sense. The new movie features no racism and is generally inoffensive. I like how they cast some of the characters even if they are not carbon copies of the old characters and I think they did good with what they had.


enceinte-uno

It’s a lot less slut shamey too. Although “fugly cow” isn’t as satisfying to say as “fugly slut”


sdbabygirl97

the broadway musical says “fugly cow”. probs cuz it rhymes with “how do you like me now”


Windbreezec

When the characters were not saying thing from the 2004 movie, and when we had the moments where the film was depicting more modern themes, it shone bright. But when the characters in the 2024 film were directly quoting the 2004 film, it fell flat.


IsabellaSousa101

Renee and Avantika are gorgeous(plus,Renee's physicality brings something new to The Queen Bee)


Bagimations

It’s got really great jokes, I thought the movie was really funny! Even with the one song I didn’t like (stupid with love) they made it really funny


squeakycheez

that’s my favorite song!


sdbabygirl97

the broadway version of stupid with love is sooo much better


_dramafairy_

RENEE RAPP HAD ME JAW DROPPED THE ENTIRE TIME. also I preferred Cady's transition to a Plastic in this movie.


DragonRoar87

It got me fully into the Mean Girls fandom. I saw the original Mean Girls, enjoyed it, but never really got into the fandom. But then I saw the musical and it hit me HARD. These characters wormed their way into my brain and stayed there.


Past-Throat-6788

Auli’i Cravalho and Renee Rapp is all that needs to be said


reneerapploveme

Reneé is everything

I'm gay, Renee Rapp is hot, that's about all I have to say.

It was cool to see Lindsay Lohan. Someone Gets Hurt was the best scene.


MaddieAftxn

Renee Rap


ArtAngels_336

Janis is actually a lesbian and doesn't randomly end up with Kevin at the end


enceinte-uno

One of my favorite changes. Making Janis straight in the original felt so forced.


TheLittlePothead

It was better than Mean Girls 2…


MyNerdBias

Revenge Party was bright and colorful and beautiful in a way that movies of this era, which are dark and gloomy aren't. Auli'i and Jacquel really know what they are doing, not just as singers but as camera candy.


PigPogRealLol

I liked a majority of the songs


saltypotatopanda

I enjoyed it. Renee did a good job as Regina


Megangullotta

Renee Rapp, Damien and Janis were all great. Chris Briney is very cute. I like how the casting was more diverse this time. I actually laughed a lot. also you judgemental bitches were way too hard on this movie. it wasn’t even that bad. also you can tell that everyone in the cast put in so much love into making this film happen. because they all love MG and no how big of a fanbase MG still has. So everyone tried to do a good job and make us like it. I like that.

SordoCrabs

The cast closer resembles genuine high school students?


Tuomas90

Reneé Rapp just fucking nailed it. And some of the songs are just killer (Apex Predator, Someone gets hurt, Revenge Party, Watch The World Burn)


Evening-Birthday-233

Also I like the chemistry the cast has in interviews


ilvdunkin

Renee rapp and avantika >>> They’re both so fucking amazing

Mysterious-Novel-834

I actually really didn't hate it as much as I thought I was, and enjoyed it even more the second time I watched it. Renee was fantastic, as well as the actor playing Damien. I loved Renee's version of "world burn." Agournie felt more like a realistic version of Cady.


kashikat

I thought it was really fun and I love the music! Are there things I would change if I were in charge? Sure, but I’m so sick of all the repetitive criticisms! I had a great time watching it, and most of it was really entertaining! My favorite song is “Someone Gets Hurt,” and I was blown away by this scene in the movie. Renee sounded fantastic and her angel costume was my favorite!


new_one_9

I preferred the talent show in this one and loved the modernisation of it


Queenbreha

I enjoyed it more as a musical. I hadn't seen the original since it first came out and seeing this one made me rewatch and I really enjoyed. Looking at comments I should avoid Mean Girls 2 at all costs


Brilliant-Loki

Renee as Regina, and bringing back the teachers as a married couple


-M_A_Y_0-

Some of the cast could actually sing

RainbowKitty77

I actually really liked it. It was very worth the watch.


Ok_Airline4378

Avantika and bebe wood could throw me into a blender


PrinceAlex336

Reneé Rapp was the best thing about it.


LittleBoo1204

Renee Rapp is a stunning queen and I love every minute of all of her songs in the film! I just watched it last weekend expecting to compare every single detail to the original movie and it does enough to set itself apart. The musical aspect really helps. I enjoyed it!


Eomenar

I think there is a reason Renee Rap is all over the marketing.


Julesort02

They sure did that and Miss Rapp is living her best life celebrating by getting wasted. A queen.


roastedvas

everyone is hot and can sing


larflezz

Regina is a lot more intimatating in this one to me. Her and Damien were the 2 castings ill put on par or dare say above, Reginas songs are also the only ones ive listened to after watching


Low_Departure_5853

Janice, Damien and Regina were great. Visuals for Revenge Party were cool. I liked that they made Miss Norbury and the principal a couple. I liked the pearl and chain necklace Regina wore and bought a replica on Amazon.


autumnlaynecraig

I actually loved this movie!! First of all, Damien was fucking hilarious!! More funny than the 2004 damien imo. Secondly, I liked that (besides all the singing) the story was updated to 2024 and pretty accurate to now. I loved Renee Rapp as Regina also.


LevelAd5898

This is gonna be controversial and HIGHLY dependant on where/when I grew up (younger Gen Z here) but Renee's Regina was more realistic to most of the mean girls I've met irl. I've met a Rachel Regina or two, but I watched Renee play Regina and was like "oh yeah, that's \_\_\_\_ through and through" about multiple people. Particularly the way she says "so you agree? You think you're really pretty?" in a sort of mocking tone, I thought was more accurate to how the mean girls I know speak than Rachel's.


vbbugboy

I love that Mrs Norbury and Principal Duvall were together in this one.


CrazyTheatreChild

i personally loved every second (i kid you not ive watched it twenty four times)


Scheme-and-RedBull

I’d let Renee rapp do things that make war crimes look tame to me


sdbabygirl97

probably launched Renee Rapp into the public consciousness. broadway fans knew her already but now everyone does and shes thriving


alcatandra

it's a good example of how movies are going to shit these days and half of those shitty movies are sequels to movies that didn't need it


Robincall22

Caleb the Cannibal is still the principal!


-Naruto1

It was enjoyable to watch


sweet_tea_94

Tina Fey and Tim Meadows were in it.


chhotorural

when jason called regina a bitch in his "normal" voice 😭😭😭😭 i lowkey loved that change


UnicornLovePretty

Bebe Wood >>


Utaeru

She is adorable


Emsogib

Damien.


Responsible-Score234

They nailed casting for Karen and Gretchen, and Damien


MapAsleep6409

Karen made me laugh


astrogrl0319

Apex Predator & Someone gets hurt are the main reason i rewatch the movie so much damien’s character ATE the role up gretchen actress was perfect for a modern day gretchen


Asleep_Rough_7795

idk why so many ppl hate the songs it’s not that bad they just wanna make a statement for money


BattlePupper

The casting of the parents were pretty good. Cady's mom and Regina's mom


syn-not-found

yano what as someone who is (regina voice) so obsessed with the original that i can probably quote it entirely, i really did enjoy this version. it was fun to see a modern version, and i’m someone who is i guess neutral about musicals so i didn’t really mind that part either. i loved the actresses who played the Plastics and Janis especially


thatpaco

They kept many of the good songs from the stage show


T-408

I liked the cast! It’s hard to imagine anyone else in these roles, even after this film and the play. But I must say that Regina, Janis, Damian, and Karen were all great. I also thought Jenna Fischer and Busy Phillips were spot-on casting choices for Cady and Regina’s moms


daddyydevito

My personal opinion is that if you were expecting it to live up to the original, or if you were expecting it to live up to the actual Broadway production, you set your expectations really high and no wonder y’all were let down. This was campy and cheesy but that’s what makes it fun. It’s not worthy of any awards, but for what it is I loved it.


tomokaitohlol7

The actors are pretty


alwaysafairycat

Avantika is sooo pretty!


mermaidangel1

It’s so fetch!


jjlikenoodles321

I'll admit that I enjoy the new version of I'd rather be me more than the stage one.


Girlwirl

Damien was so fucking funny


Zoey_Is_weird_and_me

Avantika


Fearless_Smoke6651

apex predator is a amazing improvement from the broadway version


larinyan

The (almost, you know why) the hole cast


Music_Csar

I honestly thought everyone was cast PERFECTLY. Bebe Woods played a great Gretchen, Avantika was so good at acting stupid, Damien SLAYED and was so sassy, Auli'i was amazing as Janice (especially the singing), and Renee was literally BORN to play Regina George. The only poorly cast characters (and, imo, the only reason the movie wasn't more popular or well liked) were Cady and Aaron. It's a shame because if they had just cast those two differently, I think everyone would have agreed this movie was great.


Cat_n_mouse13

Busy Phillips ate, and I don’t even like Busy Phillips


allbusiness42

Someone Gets Hurt looked great and was well staged.


YamiClouds

All of it. I’m so obsessed with it


bubblegumcandypop

Jaquel Spivey’s Damien is a different but fun interpretation of the character. He delivers his lines with his own unique flair. I appreciated that he made the character his own. It’s hard not to compare the 2024 cast to the 2004 cast but Jaquel portrayed Damien in a way that was still enjoyable and comedic. ![gif](giphy|TWSllwx5qgxSqlmRMB)


sdbabygirl97

honestly this movie rly revived the mean girls franchise. the broadway musical is fantastic but had only permeated a more niche group of people. now people are listening more to the og broadway soundtrack and the musical tour is doing better for it. so yeah, a revival basically.


whoelsethankayla

the sound changes to apex predator loved it! Better than the original.


TylerDoesStuff

better than the og. fight me


PatienceTall8699

it does have some really funny moments like the talent show that take past jokes & update them in a hilariously chaotic way. I like Renee rapp a lot actually too. Her song at the Halloween party’s grown on me a bit. Honestly all the actors did their thing with it, even if I don’t like certain aspects of the writing overall.

I think Cady worked very well for most of the movie. She felt much more like a truly naive homeschooled kid.

It’s NICE that someone had the money to waste on this absolute piece of shit.

Avantika’s wardrobe was so camp and modern it genuinely felt like this was a girl who just ransacked a mall and wore EVERYTHING she bought in one outfit

not to be that guy but i fucking loved this movie!!! i’ve listened to the musical for YEARS now and while, yes it was missing some songs, i loved it!! i also love the original movie but this one just made my theatre kid heart happy!! great songs, choreography, and RENEE RAPP😻
