From the comedic mind of Tina Fey comes a new twist on the modern classic, MEAN GIRLS. New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) 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 (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina's ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), 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 (Auli'i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.

Critics Consensus

Preserving the essence of the original while adding a few new wrinkles -- not to mention musical numbers -- Mean Girls is a sweet (if slight) update with an outstanding cast.

Audience Says

As long as you can avoid comparing it to the original -- and you don't mind musicals -- Mean Girls is a fun watch with some strong performances.

Austin Chronicle

A shot-for-shot remake would have had more school spirit than this.

Empire Magazine

Sharp, funny and strongest when it stands on its own two perfectly manicured feet, this snappy musical successfully updates the original Mean Girls template for a fresh audience.

Rated: 4/5

Observer (UK)

The scene-stealing standout is Avantika, playing sweet-natured Plastic dimwit Karen. Her comic timing is impeccable; her musical number, a boisterous Halloween party romp titled Sexy, is worth the price of admission alone.

Rated: 3/5

Film Frenzy

With the exceptions of Auli’i Cravalho (Janis) and Jaquel Spivey (Damian), there isn’t anyone here who comes close to matching the superior work of their predecessors.

Rated: 2.5/4

Cape Cod Wave Magazine

It bursts with life from start to finish, with funny, fast-paced songs; comically over-the-top performances; and a relentlessly witty script from Tina Fey. ... The revelation here is Rapp, a force of nature as the comically vampish Regina.

Rated: 3.5/4

Now the jokes are all recycled, and the characters never really get a chance to be... the characters. It's modestly amusing.

Great message! Singing was good, but there is a lot of it so be aware of that if you are not a musical person. Dress was provocative in some scenes even though the students were supposed to portray high school students.

Excellent take on a classic. Reneé and Auli’i crushed the vocals. Fit for a new generation of mean girls

I personally love musicals and did not get to see this on Broadway so it was a treat to see it in the movies. The cast is very talented with amazing voices. Could have done without repeated view of deep cleavages though
