Honestly after reading some brutal reviews I wasn’t expecting much from this movie. I’m a 41 millennial and mean girls original was something I watched at the theater when it first came out. I really liked the original and didn’t know it would turn into this “iconic” movie. Anyhow, I’m also big in musicals but I really don’t like Disney musicals. after reading some of the brutal reviews, I had expectations of the actors being bad and cheesy like Disney musicals. I was pleasantly surprised with the first song at the opening of the movie, I really like the energy of Janis and Damien when they sang together. Honestly I felt like all the actors did an awesome job trying to live up to the legend of “Mean Girls”. You can tell they really wanted to do this “classic” some justice. Some gave heat that Regina isn’t small and dainty like the original but I liked the actress that played her. She wasn’t an actress pretending to be Regina, she is Regina. Besides it’s 2024 and this young generation is different from our generation and I’m okay with that. All in all it was a delightful mix of both the past and present so yes take advantage of paramount plus’s and watch it

I just wanna say how impressed I was with all the actors! I felt like the movie went by so fast. It’s a great movie watch and then analyze with your friends highly recommend

I loved this musical! I grew up with the 90s version of Matilda but if I had to choose, i definitely choose the musical version. I feel that the musical was extremely well put together when it comes to lyrical content and musical form. Like for example, the musical when Matilda is first introduced to the new school, it was a cool ah ha moment that by the time we get to the last half of the song we discover that the older kids was teaching Matilda the ABCs from the very start of the song in a cryptic “beware” kind of way. I also loved the “Bruce” song because it had the Elton John/ London circus feel to it. And of course the “revolting children” was great because it took what trenchbull meant to be a degrading label to a title that the children embraced in an empowering way. And I just want to point out to all those people who gave such low ratings how can you not appreciate the choreography of those kids dancing in the school yard? That was crazy awesome And those of you who complained about the movie having too much color, obviously it was an artistic choice to be colorful because the musical takes place in England and their famous musical era was the Beatles and that 60s/70s vibe was in that similar color scheme. Anyway I highly recommend this movie
