no psychological manipulation. limited girl world commentary. shortened “Meet the Plastics” song. The Mean Girls musical movie (Paramout Pictures, 2024) doesn’t hold a candle to Mean Girls (Paramount pictures, 2004). Not to mention, it doesn’t represent the Broadway musical well either ☹️ join me on a lengthy rant review of the music, costume design, pacing, and characters that had the potential to be so much better. **spoilers** timestamps: 00:00 intro 01:01 music 02:51 costume design 07:25 jokes 08:15 pacing 11:50 Cady 15:21 Regina 17:15 Mrs. George 18:13 Gretchen (and Karen) 20:08 Aaron 20:34 Damian 21:39 Janis 24:37 what makes Mean Girls great 26:38 goodnight ♡ Shop my resources: ♡ YouTube gear: https://kit.co/artatmidnight/my-youtube-gear ♡ Book recs: https://kit.co/artatmidnight/my-art-book-recs ♡ Cozy desk setup: https://kit.co/artatmidnight/nightowl-desk-setup (i may earn a commission if you purchase through these links. it all helps support the channel!)
