they changed renee’s bunny costume because of how much body shaming she went through while wearing it on broadway! it was so that she would be comfortable :)
This change of costume may also allude to the shift in 'sex symbolism' over time since 2004 Regina's costume refers to the Playboy bunnies and 2024 Regina's costume to the Victoria Secret Angels 👼
@@Jasper-kz2sn have you seen the musical. It’s not that she can’t sing, it’s that she can’t sing to the level the part needed. If you’ve listened to the broadway musical soundtrack, or seen it, you would hear the stark differences in the way movie cady and stage cady sing. Parts of apex predator for example are meant to be sung by cady and were sung by Damian instead, likely because the actress playing cady couldn’t sing the way she needed to. I can’t speak to why she was cast, but I can speak to her musical abilities in that regard -the musical was better imo.
@@camisafespace my friend didn’t get the hype about him and i’m just a giggly person so the way he turned around just made me laugh. but that friend and i laugh and crack jokes at every movie so 😭
@@Iwastoolatetochangemyhandle but tbh I didn’t think the aaron from the original mean girls was attractive either so this one just carried on the tradition for me 😭
The cast did a great job but I do think Reneé carried. Oh my god I cannot believe you haven’t seen SLOCG. Didn’t consider myself a musicals fan until just recently. One of my favs so far is The Greatest Showman. And my latest obsession is this musical animation show called Hazbin Hotel on Prime about Lucifer’s daughter trying to help redeem sinners. I think you might like it but I will say it’s for a more mature audience.
Am I the only one that’s obsessed with Auli’i??? Like yes, Renee is objectively hot, but Auli’i is so hot and underrated (singing wise, acting wise, looks wise, gay icon wise)
FR! Her voice is great and in my opinion she had the best songs. Not to mention she’s stunning. I never really liked Janis, but Auli’i makes me like Janis as a character a little bit more 😂😂
If you look really closely in the music box that Gretchen gave Regina, you can actually see the plushie with the pride pin from when her and Janice were besties. Why I love the musical over the OG movie so much is the complexity it adds to characters, I think what happened to Janice is the most evil in this version but Regina still has the plush. Also I love the musical because Karen is actually a human being not a joke and is the only person that is actually Cady’s friend.
“Someone gets hurt” is the song that Regina sang at the halloween party. it is in the Broadway Musical Version and it is 100% the best song in the show (in my opinion) and Aaron sings in it aswell in the broadway version. I’d watch the version with Renee Rapp and Kyle Selig or Taylor Lauderman and Kyle Selig (broadway aaron is way better than the musical movies aaron)
If i remember from an interview for another thing she was in the actress playing Gretchen has talked about some of her grandparent being from Cuba so the 'abuelita' line actually makes sense
I swear my reactions were the same everytime Renee ATE up a song or scene!!!! Also the one playing Janis (Auli’i) looks familiar because she was AJ in Crush that you reacted to.
@@Xoxo0xx0right??? renee is cute but the way her stans are hyping her up as if she’s got a song in the hot 100. i watched this bc im a fan of the og and broadway, not bc of who was in the cast.
@@Xoxo0xx0definitely wouldn’t say far from it lmao when she was a Broadway star, co stars on a Mindy Kaling project, and performed on SNL a few months ago. More than most of us in these comments have done babe

@@camdenhunt7565 isn’t he the main love interest in one of the most popular tv shows from today tho?! I don’t understand the problem with him, I think he is beautiful (but I’m gay so what do I know) and the point of the character is for him to be bland in terms of personality since the girls are the focus
@@moramorandobianchi7093 idk.. i felt he suited the love interest in the summer i turned pretty, but in this… well… i feel like this part required a more classic jock looking guy, just a tad more mature looking actor? bro idk, it just gave middle school/ freshman vibes for me 😭 might be biased bc og aaron was just tewwww cute to me
During Someone gets hurt I stg I held my breath, Renee Rapp is really out here serving. You should also watch the broadway version of World burn because she is unreal for belting that note for so long.
Was it not obvious in the first one that Regina had a crush on Kady. The fact that she took Aaron back gave me very Jennifer’s body eat the boys that my crush likes
if you rewatch it, Regina has a pride pin (assuming it's the one she put on her plush toy) in the music box that Gretchen finds. ITS THE DETAIL the lore
I know Reneé makes the songs (and the movie, honestly), but Taylor Louderman sounds AMAZING on the Broadway soundtrack. Not as pop sounding, but her voice in incredible.
i dont even care i loved this movie and aaron was the most normal teenager looking man ive ever seen and that is just so iconic because like theyre doing all that for HIM???? so real
‘she definitely got the plain jane down’ like, nice singing but are we suppose to genuinely believe she’s eating Regina up?? speaking of Regina, Jay was almost foaming at the mouth when them lights dimmed for her😭
I coincidentally saw mean girls on broadway the only time I’ve been to New York and I was not expecting this movie to do their own versions of the musicals songs. But Renee’s renditions ateeee
She say how Cady didn’t fit anywhere and took advantage of that at her lowest point and formed an exploited relationship with her that became a friendship whenever she wanted it to be. Damn, she is much more visibly evil in this film.
So I love the Broadway show and my three biggest issues with this movie, the arrangement of Stupid with love (it’s flat and too radio pop for Cady’s character at the beginning. Honestly keeping the reprise and switching to the more pop sound would have been a cool character thing). Meet the Plastics should include the other plastics, especially cause the song does such a good job at setting up the characters immediately, also more Renee vocals could have been had. And last the “fashion” in this was not it for me, I fully agree the plastics should be in heels. Or at least more of high fashion shoe. Making their fashion too relatable kinda brings the whole vibe down for me.
I am also a team musical girly!! watching this in theaters, i initially didn't think it was great, but now listening to the soundtrack a lot, i'm starting to like it more, nothing compared to the og, but it is cute and campy in its own way and love me so Renee and Auli'i!💕
They changed the bunny outfit because Renee got an ED playing Regina on broadway. They also changed the lyrics in Meet the Plastic(s) about weighing a certain weight. They also replaced Cadys first song, it Roars because the actress didn’t have the pipes. Or she would have sang Apex Predator with Janis. PLEASE do a react to the new Color Purple if you haven’t yet! Much better adaptation.
We just call this "Two Gays and Thee Mean Girl" in this house because it's all about RENEÉ and #TeamJamien. I could listen to Auli’i and Jaquel duet all day.
I'm only a few minutes in but I'm loving how much fun you're having with this! I was a huge fan of the original movie, I was like 11 when it came out and I was instantly hooked, it became a comfort movie for me and no one can touch the original performances but this movie was so good! I just watched it tonight and absolutely loved it, I laughed out loud several times and actually cried at the end, I think they did a really great job with this! It was over the top and campy in all the best ways and I thought it was a really really solid remake! Avantika stole the show and my heart with her performance as Karen and Renee Rapp was made to play Regina! I think it shows how much fun they had making it! And the throwback lines were perfectly done, enough to have me smiling all big but also spread out enough to make this movie fun and new.
Listen that Halloween party scene gave me life in the theater 😂 like I wish it was in the actual movie 😭 but also the actress for Katie when she turned plastic she killed it
The original will always be my favorite, but I personally did enjoy this version. "Someone Gets Hurt" was my favorite number, and I was mesmerized when Renee sang. Jaquel Spivey as Damian was a standout for me. Regina dressed as an angel, while trying to make Aaron think she was innocent, made alot more sense than the bunny costume. One deleted scene from the original movie was the Cady and Regina bathroom scene, and I'm glad it was included for this.
ngl i loved this movie. my boyfriend took me to see this as a surprise and he didn’t realize it was a musical, i picked up that it was mean girls so i just didn’t tell him so when they started singing i was DYING at his reaction. by the end of the movie i made sure he was equally in love with Renee as you know i and the rest of us are lmfao safe to say he is. side note i think avantika (karen) did an amazing job as yk karen lol personally one of my favorite characters and wish she had more i genuinely loved every second of screen time she had
i really like this version of mean girls so much better than the original, and i love the new versions of these characters. and the fact that reneé rapp was in it--- i love that so much. and she really ate it up, she is fire. and i love how cady discovers her real self in the end and i just love how everything comes together so well. it's beautiful. also you are really funny, i like your channel. im a new subscriber :)
Janice wanted to stop after Regina got humiliated, but Cady continued it, and yeah, she used Cady, but after she got revenge, she still wanted to hang out with her. Also, Cady also wanted to revenge becauss of Aaron. Regina is THE bully, no wonder she has enemies who want to revenge. If she was not so mean they would not have been back to her.
Honestly very thankful for your reaction bc alot of reactors are just copying whats said on twt and its irking me cuz its a generally enjoyable movie 😭
Thank you for watching with such an open mind ❤️ a lot of people aren’t even giving it a chance. I had so much fun watching this movie the first time, very nostalgic and funny. It obviously wasn’t gonna be as amazing as the original
Okay... Both of Regina's introduction gave me chills... idk, the 1st one with the music felt like I'm looking at a royalty... and this one... it's also breathtaking...
Haven't watched the video yet, only heard you say that everyone hates the movie and I feel compelled to say that I actually really love it, and not only cause Renee served Renee said in an interview that she felt like in the 'get in loser' scene Regina would've definitely flirted with Cady so that's what she did. She's also said several times that in her mind Regina is a lesbian so of course she'd play a very queer coded Regina
You are so sweet! I wholeheartedly agree with your review. It was refreshing to see a realistic reaction rather than a hateful one done up for views. Thank you!!
Angel Costume explanation: So in the Broadway show Regina is a playboy bunny in the Halloween party scenes. But when Renee was playing her on the Broadway show, they fully made changes to her original costume without her knowing, because a higher up producer was watching the show and didn’t like how her body looked in the playboy bunny outfit.
Janis corrupted Cady very well in this film. She was INCREDIBLY manipulative. Like the mask that she was wearing to not show her true face when she was allegedly truly vulnerable.
Jay this just made my day I haven’t been great it’s been 😢horrible recently I lost my grams and haven’t eaten anything or even smiled thanks for bring some light to my day
You the only reaction I wanted to see to this movie because you got the big draw: Renee. I feel you on the "i wouldn't like this song if it wasn't Renee" because honestly, same.
This movie gets so much hate, but I quite liked it. The main problem of this movie is the main actress, which is a shame. Apparently - rumor has it - that she did not even audition. She was just cast by the director immediately. Which explains a lot. But I love it when musical movies embrace being a musical and don't waste any of the songs (looking at you, WISH and Greatest Showman, for just having the songs for the sake of having marketable songs).
i like this movie because it does the og broadway songs (at least the regina ones) so much justice. I love the modern twist did on them. it feels much more serious and dramatic than performances youd see on an actual stage
I won't say anyone was badly cast here, but I'm defo gonna say that the plastics and Janice were PERFECT. And I won't take complaints or criticisms about them. If you disagree, it's fine (to be wrong)
i loved your reaction SO MUCH like can't youll just have fun???? ive been afraid of watching people reacting at this bc i know the hate from non theater kids but i really loved yours edit: not that this film is amazing but i've been waiting for this for so long bc im such a fan of the musical version and a HUGE reneé fan and the movie was kinda disappointing for me as a fan of the musical but its still fun and reneé ate and i love it like it's not that serious. ((and the comments about renne's bodie was scaring me too :/
I’m commenting before I watch the video just to say I watched this yesterday and it was so fabulous Renee Rapp is my girl. I love her voice. Oh my God so when I found out that she was playing Regina George, I was excited. Mean girls is one of my favorite movies ever to see it as a musical I was excited. I hope you love it because I did. I’m surprised that people didn’t like it wasn’t disrespectful to the original at ALL and they added elements like social media and pop culture references todays and vocals were awesome. Amazing.❤❤❤❤
I just saw a video the other day of Charles Brockman re-creating scenes from this new version of mean girls, and the part where Cady is singing stupid with love, and she’s staring at Aaron from afar while he’s talking with his friend, he re-created that scene and said yall don’t see this creep.😂😂😂
FunFact: The French Teacher is played by Ashley Park who also played the first Gretchen in the Boradway Musical
ohhh I love that!!!
she also played Kimberly's French teacher in Sex Lives of College Girls!

Haven't watched the video yet, only heard you say that everyone hates the movie and I feel compelled to say that I actually really love it, and not only cause Renee served
Renee said in an interview that she felt like in the 'get in loser' scene Regina would've definitely flirted with Cady so that's what she did. She's also said several times that in her mind Regina is a lesbian so of course she'd play a very queer coded Regina
When I tell you me and my cousin were laughing HARD when the party scene had ozuna playing in the background, it really caught us off guard
that jamie lee "trauma" always takes me completely out!!!😭😭😭
I will never not use it!
People hate it only bc they weren’t aware that it was a movie musical 😂 I love it! ❤
I genuinely think everyone was perfectly casted EXCEPT Aaron Samuels….they could’ve got a singer and had one more song with him.
You are so sweet! I wholeheartedly agree with your review. It was refreshing to see a realistic reaction rather than a hateful one done up for views. Thank you!!
Angel Costume explanation: So in the Broadway show Regina is a playboy bunny in the Halloween party scenes. But when Renee was playing her on the Broadway show, they fully made changes to her original costume without her knowing, because a higher up producer was watching the show and didn’t like how her body looked in the playboy bunny outfit.
This made me so happy. Also your reaction to Aaron Samuels had me cackling.
Janis corrupted Cady very well in this film. She was INCREDIBLY manipulative. Like the mask that she was wearing to not show her true face when she was allegedly truly vulnerable.
I love your reaction Mean Girls Musical.
Jay this just made my day I haven’t been great it’s been 😢horrible recently I lost my grams and haven’t eaten anything or even smiled thanks for bring some light to my day
You the only reaction I wanted to see to this movie because you got the big draw: Renee. I feel you on the "i wouldn't like this song if it wasn't Renee" because honestly, same.
Literally the whole movie I just kept hearing that tik tok sound in my head that’s like, “he’s literally just a guy, hit him with your car!”
This movie gets so much hate, but I quite liked it. The main problem of this movie is the main actress, which is a shame. Apparently - rumor has it - that she did not even audition. She was just cast by the director immediately. Which explains a lot.
But I love it when musical movies embrace being a musical and don't waste any of the songs (looking at you, WISH and Greatest Showman, for just having the songs for the sake of having marketable songs).
i like this movie because it does the og broadway songs (at least the regina ones) so much justice. I love the modern twist did on them. it feels much more serious and dramatic than performances youd see on an actual stage
I won't say anyone was badly cast here, but I'm defo gonna say that the plastics and Janice were PERFECT. And I won't take complaints or criticisms about them. If you disagree, it's fine (to be wrong)
Renee Rapp played Regina on Broadway so she knew what she was doing with this movie and Karen was hilarious, that’s my baby
i loved your reaction SO MUCH like can't youll just have fun???? ive been afraid of watching people reacting at this bc i know the hate from non theater kids but i really loved yours
edit: not that this film is amazing but i've been waiting for this for so long bc im such a fan of the musical version and a HUGE reneé fan and the movie was kinda disappointing for me as a fan of the musical but its still fun and reneé ate and i love it like it's not that serious.
((and the comments about renne's bodie was scaring me too :/
I’m commenting before I watch the video just to say I watched this yesterday and it was so fabulous Renee Rapp is my girl. I love her voice. Oh my God so when I found out that she was playing Regina George, I was excited. Mean girls is one of my favorite movies ever to see it as a musical I was excited. I hope you love it because I did. I’m surprised that people didn’t like it wasn’t disrespectful to the original at ALL and they added elements like social media and pop culture references todays and vocals were awesome. Amazing.❤❤❤❤
Yessssssssss I've been waiting for this one 🖤
I just saw a video the other day of Charles Brockman re-creating scenes from this new version of mean girls, and the part where Cady is singing stupid with love, and she’s staring at Aaron from afar while he’s talking with his friend, he re-created that scene and said yall don’t see this creep.😂😂😂
i was shocked when i saw lindsay lohan in the math competition idk if it was on the trailers i didnt watch them but it def was a sweet surprise
So many of your commentaries were WORD FOR WORD what I said to my friend in the movie theatre
Omg I also thought the actors who played Candy and Aaron looked like siblings lol
I watched it the other day and I was not feeling it at all but my girl Reneé Rapp CARRIED the whole movie for me.
i feel bad for genuinely enjoying this 😭 like it’s not as good as the og mean girls but it was fun
no listen it was actually so fun!!!! just … never again for me 😂😂
