I saw an early screening of the Mean Girls movie last night, so here is a summary of my thoughts, comparing the movie musical to the Broadway musical, which I was lucky enough to see live in 2018!
Changed that I liked:
The usage of social media in the Broadway show made it very clear that it was written by adults who didnât know much about Gen-Z. It was probably one of the worst parts of the show in my opinion. But Tina Fey must have done her research since 2018, because the way the movie uses TikTok, memes, vlogging, and FaceTime to push the story forward worked VERY well. I think there were some influencer cameos, but it didnât feel they were included to show how âyoung and hipâ they were, It actually added authenticity.
The diversity within the cast and changing last names to reflect the charactersâ backgrounds (Karen Smith âĄïž Karen Shetty, Janis Sarkisian âĄïž Janis 'Imi'ike)
Cutting down âMeet the Plastics.â Itâs a very exposition-heavy song and doesnât need to be super long, even though the full version is quite catchy and fun.
All of the new jokes landed so well, probably because Tina Feyâs writing style is better suited for the screen as opposed to the stage.
This is more of a comparison of the musical vs. the original film, but a big change was The Plasticsâ weaponized wokeness (which I talk about here).
The production design for most of the songs was very different. The stage musical has a lot of rock songs, which were changed to a pop sound for the movie. I personally prefer rock musicals, but it was a good way to give the movie a separate identity from its predecessor so it doesnât risk becoming a carbon copy. It worked on some songs (âSomeone Gets Hurtâ and âWorld Burnâ) but not on others (âA Cautionary Taleâ and âRevenge Partyâ).
Cutting the joke about Reginaâs ass being big. It was a very low-brow joke, which Iâm not a fan of, and was just really immature. Thank God that was changed to her falling, which still shows her being embarrassed without her body being the joke.
Explicitly making Janis a lesbian! (Itâs only implied in the stage show with âItâs not even true⊠I only have one buttâ) And she goes to prom with a girl while Damien dances with a boy! ALSO THEREâS REJANIS LORE AND ITâS SO HEARTBREAKING I LOVE IT
megan thee stallion just⊠being there
Miss Norbury and Principal Duvall being a couple and owning a dog together!!!
As a low mezzo, I appreciated whoever decided to lower the key for âIâd Rather Be Me.â I felt very represented đ©·
Having Cady be raised in a single-parent household so it focuses in more on her relationship with her mom. Jenna Fischer was so motherly and sincere and brought a warmth to the movie. Their scene together near the end made me emotional (youâre never too old to ask your parent to stay with you until you fall asleep) (also this is my request to make jenna fischer my mom)
Changes that I didnât like:
Cutting BOTH of Damianâs solos??? (SHEâS LEAVING!!!!!!!! JUST LIKE MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Cutting âMore Is Better.â It wasnât necessarily a memorable song, but it did give both Cady and Aaron more depth, both as separate characters and within their relationship.
While cutting some of the songs helped with pacing, cutting HALF of the score made me forget that it was a musical sometimes, which sucks because I really like musicals!!!
Other stuff:
The movie was marketed horribly. One of my friends didnât even know it was gonna be a musical because there were no songs in the trailers đ (Also, this isnât just a Mean Girls problem. The Color Purple also didnât have any songs in the trailer. I didnât even know Wonka was a musical until I saw it in theaters, so that was a bit of a shock.) If youâre producing a musical movie, maybe your focus groups should be musical fans, because thatâs still a HUGE market.
AuliÊ»i Cravalhoâs voice is STUNNING! She and Jaquel Spivey had great chemistry and their friendship felt so genuine!
The opening and ending transitions from the garage were everything to me
The EDITING
Angourie Rice is a great actor and fit Cady perfectly⊠except for her singing. Out of the entire cast she was easily the weakest in terms of vocals and it was pretty disappointing since sheâs the LEAD. I could barely hear her in the new song âWhat Ifsâ because of how quiet and breathy she was. I think itâs a better written song compared to âRoarâ though.
Jon Hamm cameo!
Ashley Park cameo!
I cannot stress enough how funny this movie was. I was probably laughing louder than everyone else in the theatre.
I lost my shit during âMeet the Plasticsâ when Regina unzipped her jacket and Cady was staring at her boobs. Sheâs just like me fr đłïžâđ
I know that Regina is a horrible person but I couldnât find it in me to dislike her in the slightest. She just served too much cunt đ©
Christopher Briney is a good actor, but I don't think he was the right choice for Aaron Samuels. I would hate to ridicule anyone for their looks, but it still plays an important part in casting. Aaron is supposed to be a somewhat naive, wholesome, hot jock (and Regina has high standards, so he better be a fucking model). Briney is definitely a cutie, but gives off âsmoldering badboy with a secret sensitive sideâ energy, which isnât what Aaron should be.
The fantasy sequences (Stupid With Love, Revenge Party, October 3rd). I LOVE when movie musicals USE the medium to tell stories in a way that they canât on a stage!!!
THE CHOREO!!! Everyone freezing then shaking in âSomeone Get Hurtâ AHHHH that entire number was HYPNOTIZING!!!!!!!!!!! My friend told me the choreographerâs name is Kyle Hanagami, so shout out to him. (also reneĂ© rapp was so fucking hot while singing that oh my lord)
I will be calling my pimples âface breastsâ from now on (avantika ilysm)
DAMIANâS FRENCH COVER OF THE ICARLY THEME SONG đđđđđ
why was there a 0.5 camera shot of cady during revenge party đ
âIâd Rather Be Meâ was so much fun and I felt so fucking empowered. And the transition from the song to the bus was just *chefâs kiss*
âdonut worry i am still your freendâ đ„ș
Lindsay Lohan cameo!!!!!!!!!
NOT ENOUGH RENEĂ RAPP đđ
Overall, the movie was not perfect, but the Broadway show already had plenty of flaws, so itâs understandably how that would affect the adaptation. I still a LOT of fun and would definitely see it again. Go stream Snow Angel by ReneĂ© Rapp. i love women đ„°đ„°đ„°

One of the main messages of Mean Girls (both 2004 and 2024) is that talking badly about someone will only create an endless cycle of hate and shame, that will leave people hurt - emotionally and physically. That all that talk won't magically make you smarter, prettier... It will only make you a bad person.
And yet... You go and bodyshame the entire cast of this new version??

hiiii <3
Can you do one where Janis has been having a lot or trouble in school, and her friends have always kind of jokingly called her dumb or stupid because she makes bad or irrational decisions and she gets overwhelmed and at a big group sleepover freaks out and regina has to calm her down in front of everyone.
Shut up, shut up
Janis âImiâike x Regina George
Warnings: coarse language, teasing/bullying, Janis gets angry, some crying, self-loathing, implied smut at the end
Janis has been trying to play nice. But her feelings have been hurt by those closest to herâ over and over again. One night, she loses it in front of everyone, needing Regina to step in and defuse the situation.
âG, hey.â Janis walks up to Regina, backpack slung over one shoulder.
âHey, you.â Reginaâs flashes her a smile when she came up before her, pressing a kiss to her cheek. Janis barely reacted, causing her to ask if she was okay.
âMy new homeroom teacher gave me detention for doing embroidery work in the classroom. Itâs not like I wasnât listening, yâknow?â
âUgh, Iâm sorry, baby.â Regina puts an arm around her and they headed to their next class together.
âAt least itâs only an hour. Iâll be right there at your place as soon as I get outta detention.â
âMm, okay.â Regina hums, snaking an arm around her waist. âWant me to cook?â
Janis agrees with an eager nod, âThatâd be nice.â
Entering the classroom with some time to spare, the couple sat down at their usual desks, Janis takes out her class materials before Regina followed suit. When their teach walked in, the students immediately quiet down. But still, the teacher standing in the front of the class seemed visibly unhappy. âYes, âImiâike. Iâm looking at you.â
Janis was startled, then confused. âDonât look so confused, youâre not a freshman. You should know your clothing choice is against school code.â
âIâŠhave been wearing the same kind of outfits all year. Why is it that itâs become a problem today?â
âItâs too short.â The teacher nearly seethed, âSay another word and Iâm giving you an hour detention.â
Regina bites back a scoff, but the teacher saw it anyway. âWhatâs seems to be the problem, George?â
âNothing, Mr. Moss.â
ââImiâike, one hour. And cover up.â
Not wanting to escalate the situation and cause more trouble for herself, she stayed silent and dug through her backpack for her jacket, put it on and zipped it up.
Janis was starting to feel irritated again. Everything seemed to be going wrong already. And the dayâs barely started. She was tense from the anger and frustration that was bubbling up within herâ Regina could tell. That meant Janis would definitely need to let go of that emotion after school, some way somehow. Usually, Regina would help her out, cuddling, or much more. Other times, what Janis needed would be to scream, cry or both. Very rarely, Janis would immediately just punch something. Regina hated that last method the most because Janis would end up hurting herself, and that, hurt Regina.
When lunchtime rolled around, Janis got herself three hours of detention and a substitute teacher to hate her. Really, all Janis did was clarify the number of pages in the workbook they had to complete and the teacher immediately responded by yelling.
âFuck, fuck. I hate today.â Janis mutters, sitting down at the usual bench with her friends. Regina was right next to her, âWhat happened?â
âWhat didnât happen, G?â
âOh, come on. Donât be so dramatic, Janis. Iâm sure itâs not that bad.â Karen remarked. Janis sucks in a deep breath, keeping her gaze focused on her Converse. She shrugs off Reginaâs hand on her back and was fiddling with her thumbs, painfully hard. âStop.â Gretchen interjects before Karen could continue, âDonât say anything else. Thatâs not nice, Karen.â
âBut she alwaysââ Aaron added on, âYou donât have the best temper, Janis.â
Now, Regina wanted to slap him. Janis quickly grabbed her bag and ran to the bathroom, feeling like a knifeâs been repeatedly slicing through her heart hearing each passing word.
âJanis.â Regina tried to hold her back by the wrist but she easily got free and went on her way.
âVery good, guys. Yâall are such children.â Damian scoffs, Regina leaves the table to go check on Janis.
âJust leave me alone, Regina.â Janis spoke through gritted teeth, hands clutching the sink countertop.
âNo, I will not.â
âYou need to eat.â Janis says softly.
âOh, and you donât?â Regina replied.
âFuck, why?â Janis slams her fist to the counter, Regina internally cringes, âJay, letâs go back to lunch. Ignore them, okay?â
âReally? They always do this, make little comments about me, about how I have shitty temper, always being like âoh, itâs just Janis being Janis.â. They donât see how hard Iâve been trying to change for the better, and how sometimes, the things I get into trouble for arenât my fault.â
ââââ
When the last bell rang, Janis snaps out of her trance. It felt like she blacked out after lunch and just got through the rest of her dayâ without any other punishments, fortunately. Regina waits for her right outside the classroom and they head to detention together. âMom isnât home for the week. You wanna come over after? Iâll wait for you to get out,â
âSure.â Janis says, barely audible.
Janis didnât say much of anything after that. Regina quickly bid her goodbye and went off to her car and waited. Well, she did drive off to the supermarket to get some ingredients to cook, and snacks. But the three hours went by fast enough. Janis got out of detention, obviously in a bad mood. She didnât say anything and just rested her head on the window as she looked out of it. Regina doesnât force her to talk, knowing what to do. Once they got to Reginaâs room, Janis just yanked the jacket off and crashed into the bed to sleep. Regina didnât want to stop her, because she clearly needed that. It was better than her punching a table and bruising her hand. She moves herself to lay right next to Janis, carefully wrapping an arm around her and planting a kiss to her shoulder. âIâm sorry.â
âDonât say sorry. None of what happened today was your fault.â
âClearly it has to be, even our friends are saying it like I donât know it.â
âJanis.â Regina sighs softly, âListen to me. Itâs not on you, thatâs on them. Theyâre just unfair, angryâŠsometimes, immature. Some teachers just take their own frustrations out on students and it sucks. But, donât apologise for things that arenât your fault, Janis. Please.â
âI canât help it.â Janis exhales shakily. âThey still think Iâm likeâ unbreakable. Iâm not, okay? Iâm not. Iâm fucking weak.â
âYou are not weak, Janis. No.â Regina held her tighter, kissing her again, âYou are not weak, Janis. You are the strongest person Iâve ever known, and thatâs coming from someone who got hit by a bus.â
Janisâ body relaxed gradually as she listens to Regina speak, and her eyes also fluttered shut. She doesnât say anything though, not because she didnât know what to say. But because she was afraid of crying even harder.
âJust sleep, itâs okay. Iâm here. Everythingâs going to be alright, I got you.â
They both woke up again around dinner time and headed straight for the kitchen to prepare dinner. âPasta?â
âOkay.â Janis agrees, leaning against the counter. âThe gangâs coming over, right? Thatâs tonightâ the sleepover?â
âYeah. Do you want me to cancel?â
âNo, itâs fine.â Janis shrugs, âAs long as they shut up about me.â
âIâll make sure of it.â Regina grins, smooching Janis on the cheek then all over her face, making her giggle.
The both of them cooked together, enjoying each otherâs company and chatting about anything and everything under the sun. âHoly shit, this smells amazing.â
âOh, thank you~â Regina bites back a grin, grabbing a plate to start portioning the food for themselves and the gang that were arriving any minute. âNever made this before.â
âEh, well, youâre a good cook, G.â Janis smiled cheekily, grabbing a strand of noodle from the pot to try it. Regina shrieks, âJanis, oh my God!â
âMy hands are clean!â Janis laughs, throwing her hands up in mock defeat. Just as Regina was about to say something back, the doorbell rang. âIâll go get the door.â Janis says, walking away to the foyer. âOkay, thanks, baby.â
They say hi to her and Janis. Cady, Gretchen and Damian gave her a hug. First thing they did? They gathered around the dining table to have dinner as a group. Janis quietly went over to the fridge to pour herself a drink but her hand slipped and she dropped her mug when she felt a sudden squeezing pain on one side of her head.
âOh, shit.â Someone gasped. Aaron, it was Aaron.
âAre you okay?â Janis heard Regina and Gretchen.
âWhy so distracted, you dummy?â Aaron asks, it was clearly a joke. He always called her these nicknames and she didnât mind, having a self-deprecating sense of humour. But lately, she just wasnât having it. Sheâs had enough of these unkind nicknames and teasing. Regina rushed to her side to see if she cut her hand, âDonât touch it. Iâll take care of it.â
âIâm fine, go back to dinner.â
âJanis, are you just trying to use the fact that you got detention to smash things?â Damian asked with a laugh. The rest of the gang chuckles.
âShut up.â Janis mutters, clearly in some distress. She wasnât even looking Regina in the eye now. âShut up.â Janis repeated, âAll of you shut the fuck up. I donât need anyone else calling me dumb, stupid, insinuating that Iâm violent and cannot control my emotions. Shut up!â
Janis swallowed her tears painfully, sliding down into a squat while her back rested against the counter. âIâm sorry.â Janis said quietly to Regina. âItâs okay, itâs just a mug. As long as youâre not injured, I couldnât care less about a measly piece of ceramic.â
âIâm such a fuck up, I ruin everything.â
âJaâ baby, youâre not a fuck up. Okay? These people need to learn to get the hint and stop. Iâm sure they wouldnât like it too if they were in your shoes. Iâm proud of you for speaking up, okay? Never ever say that about yourself again, thatâs the last thing youâll ever be. You are not a fuck up, Janis.â
âI donât get itâ you guys could tell she wasnât happy about those damn nicknames and you all still continued? And you just had to laugh at Damianâs stupid âjokeâ? How would you feel if thatâs all you heard about yourself from your friends?â
âIâm sorry, Janis. Iâll stop using those names, it was wrong, and I thought it was okay because you never stopped me and in fact laughed along. That doesnât make it right, I shouldâve paid better attention.â
âIâll never call you dramatic again.â Karen swore, âI promise.â
Janis appreciated and acknowledged their apologies but ultimately decided she needed to spend more time alone to calm down. So, she excused herself and finished up her dinner by the pool. âHey.â Regina came out to check on her a little later after she put on a movie on the TV for the gang. âI got you your drink.â
Janis turned around, taking the cup from Regina. âThanks.â
Regina sat down on the low pool chair, groaning slightly as she did so due to the lingering discomfort in her back. âDo you feel better?â
âI guess.â Janis sniffed, picking at the food on her plate. âI donât know, I think Iâm just feeling weird because my mom and dad have been fighting a lot again lately and I just feel soâŠnot like myself. And I â I fucking hate it. I hate that every little thingâs been pissing me off.â
âBabe, pleaseâŠyouâre a human being. Of course youâd feel emotions. Scared, worried, annoyed, sad. Whatever it is, youâd better feel them instead of bottling it all up.â
Janis cracked a smile, eating another forkful of the pasta.
âThereâs that smile.â Regina coos, âDonât you dare lose that smile of yours.â
Janis blushes, poorly hiding it. âYouâre so cute.â Regina chuckles to herself, watching Janis getting flustered. âThough I must sayâŠthat too you wore at school today? So damn hot.â
âOh, yeah?â Janis guffaws, setting her finished plate down, âWhich am I then? Cute? Or hot?â
âNice try, youâre both.â Regina turned to face her properly, patting her knee, âLetâs uhâŠtake this up to my room?â
âTempted.â Janis laughs quietly, âBut what do you think we should do about the gang then?â
âWho cares?! They have plenty of stuff to do. Most of the gangâs kissing each other anyway.â
âWell, thank you so very much for putting that image into my head.â Janis snorted, shuddering in disgust.
Regina sighs, pushing herself up off the pool chair then extending her arm for Janis to grab her hand, âLetâs go, pretty girl.â

Auli'i Cravalho and Jaquel Spivey are the perfect Janis and Damian. The casting was top notch.
And yes. I have been singing 'I'd rather be me' all day.
