Mean Girls

Cady literally could not hold a tune in this MUSICAL movie. Renee was phenominal as well as 90% of the supporting cast. However, I thought that the way they redid the iconic rock songs seemed lazy and the camp theme from the broadway musical just was not hitting the same. Really felt like they were holding back with the jokes and the meanness of the movie. Cady was more unlikable than the main mean girl which is really saying something. The casting of Cady really put a bad taste in my mouth the whole movie - they took the OG songs and gave her parts to other cast members because she couldn't even hold a tune. Whoever her agent is needs to be fired bc why would they put that poor girl in a musical.

Acting is horrible. Cringe. It's basically trying to be mean girls with no originality and creativity. Would've been better with all new characters and plot. Taking from the original and having these actors portray the original was not a good call. Overacted and forced all the way. I felt embarrassed watching this with my husband. Nothing was funny. Also, why does all the high schoolers look like they are in their thirties. I want 2 hours of my life back. This was horrid. The musical part of the movie was hard to sit through too. It would've been much better with new characters and plot that identifies more to Gen Z. Just not funny or worth the watch.

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.

Too similar to the original, though the musical moments do help alleviate that.

I didn't necessarily like any of the songs performed in 2024's 'Mean Girls', but none of them grated on me - which is always a plus when it comes to musicals. I could've done with a slightly shorter run time, though the humour is decent - if a bit hit-and-miss.

Angourie Rice is a bit meh in the lead role, certainly a downgrade on Lindsay Lohan. I guess most of the cast are inferior comparatively, but I did enjoy the performances of Reneé Rapp and Jaquel Spivey... Auli'i Cravalho too. Good to see Tina Fey and Tim Meadows back again, whilst there's a great cameo at one point.

All things considered, it's fine. Can't wait for the 2044 remake.

I really wanted to like this one. I really did. I love the original, and of course, i know this is a different movie, based on the Broadway musical based on the original (and all written by Tina Fey). Of course i know that there was no need for a direct remake, since the original was near perfection. However, this just didn't work. There was no chemistry, no motivation for the characters. I did like that it's done from Damian and Janice's point of view. But the rest of it feels flat.

The positives - Renee Rapp has a voice on her, as does Jeremy Spivey. For me they were the highlights of the show. There are some cute moments. Some new lines, but nothing really memorable or quotable.

So, meh. It was OK.
