Overview - New student Cady Heron 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 and her minions Gretchen and Karen. However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels, 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 and Damian, she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.

There are flashes of wit here, and a decent sound-track but for the most part it's a complete non-story. "Cady" (Angourie Rice) arrives as the newbie at the North Shore High School where she is shunned by all but the gay/rebellious combo that is "Damian" (Jaquel Spivey) and "Janis" (Auli'i Caravalho). For a bit of mischief, they decide that "Cady" should infiltrate the trio known as the "Plastics"...

Too similar to the original, though the musical moments do help alleviate that. I didn't necessarily like any of the songs performed in 2024's <em>'Mean Girls'</em>, but none of them grated on me - which is always a plus when it comes to musicals. I could've done with a slightly shorter run time, though the humour is decent - if a bit hit-and-miss. Angourie Rice is a bit meh in the lead role...
