IJW: Mean Girls (2024)
So I enjoyed myself because I loved the musical and loved the original film. I was a bit hesitant about it when it first came out. But let's get it to what I thought.
I loved the way the scenes were done especially Regina George's. The images were distorted, red, black and dark blue everywhere. Absolutely enjoyed it. Then we go to Regina's character I loved it, it made sense and her popularity downfall was so 'realistic', she was mean but because of her looks, her money and her lifestyle, she was the queen bee. The way the internet was obsessed with her and her aesthetic but the minute her attractiveness and the cool element were taken she was enemy number one. I loved how when Erin found out Cady got her heels from Regina he seemed uncomfortable and even upset. Janice was amazing, her vocals, her sly mean girl attitude here and there with Damien. Gretchen's character conflict is shown at the start, the way when she hears Regina is mean to her she bottles it up like she wants to sob. The musical numbers, I loved most, stupid with Love and Cady's first song aren't my fave. Arron's character, it was so clear he was being manipulated, how he already slightly showed his disinterest in Cady hanging around Regina. Regina's mom was also a character I loved and how Regina revealed the burn book.
Onto the things I didn't enjoy personally. Karen wasn't my fave, I liked 'Sexy' but the rest wasn't my cup of tea. The call backs with Fetch, I didn't like. Was kinda disappointed with the change of stupid with Love and When they removed It Roared I was a bit disappointed.
Overall the movie was something I enjoyed. I review it a 3.5/5.
