Mean Girls: 2024 movie musical vs. the 2004 original, scored.
SlateMean Girls is back, 20 years after the original film became such a pop-culture touchstone that you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who couldn’t answer the question On what day of the week do we wear pink? B New Mean Girls: Bebe Wood did the best with what she was given, but our Toaster Strudel heiress didn’t deserve the worst song and direction in the film. A+ New Mean Girls: Busy Philipps perfectly takes over Poehler’s role as Regina’s “cool mom.” She’s in the movie for only a couple of minutes, but they’re great ones! B New Mean Girls: Though enjoyable, the rendition of “Rockin’ Around the Pole” didn’t leave nearly as strong a mark as the original performance of “Jingle Bell Rock.” Thankfully, the aforementioned Damian joke makes up for it. The message isn’t necessarily “mean girls are fun,” but rather: Every Regina George is actually a Cady Heron deep down, and therefore, every Cady Heron can become a Regina George.
