Mean Girls
New student Cady Heron is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called ‘The Plastics,’ ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George and her minions Gretchen and Karen. However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels, she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis and Damian, she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.
Critics Sentiment
Regina George invites Cady to join the Plastics
Regina's performance at Winter Talent Show goes viral
The film drops significantly during the Winter Talent Show sequence, which reviewers found particularly cringe-worthy and emblematic of the musical format's problems.
Critics found this musical adaptation disappointing overall, praising standout performances from Reneé Rapp, Jaquel Spivey, and Auli'i Cravalho while criticizing the forced musical numbers, weak lead performance, and lack of originality. The film struggles throughout with pacing and execution issues, though it recovers slightly toward the end with its positive messaging about female solidarity.
