Mean Girls

The 2004 teen comedy “Mean Girls,” written by Tina Fey and based on Rosalind Wiseman's 2002 book Queen Bees and Wannabes, has become a millennial cult classic in the twenty years since its release. Although part of the key demographic for the film—I was a senior in high school when it was released—I have never been a big fan. The original film coasts on zingy one-liners and the star power of its cast—Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried are fantastic as the core four—but the film is dragged down by humor rooted in racist stereotypes and other problematic elements best left in the mid-2000s. Thankfully, this latest version from directors Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. and based on the 2018 Broadway musical adaptation of the 2004 film, brings a refreshing Zoomer spin to the material.
