As a huge original mean girls fan and lover of musicals, I will say that this movie was good. It was more modern wish was a nice touch to stay relevant obviously. The only things I will say is that I wish the Karen character played dumb better if that makes sense it looked like she was trying too hard. Her Halloween solo was great! I also don’t know why Cady only had one parent. There were a lot of key things from the original that were missing. The songs were good though. And I wish there was more fashion!!!! The outfits were pretty basic. There was more diversity in the cast, which was great and they actually added a little depth into Gretchen’s character. I never saw the musical before, so I’m not sure how close it was to that. Also, Renee Rapp is a gem definitely The best character besides the original cameos and looks just like the OG, Regina, George! Lastly, if you did not know that this movie was a musical before going to see it you really should pay attention more. There’s literally a musical note in the title poster of the movie!
