Ash immediately hating on Cady was unexpected but HILARIOUS
I couldn’t stop laughing during the math song 😂 Ash’e reaction was too funny
Also justified tho 🫣
Well I hated her so I kind of expected Ash to hate her
honestlyyyyy she’s not my favorite either😭😭 her songs are just so boring
I was totally expecting it tbh
Angourie Rice being casted to play Cady without a musical background was a WILD choice
Yikes that makes sense as to why she’s so bad lol
Nepo baby on it's finest
@@layane1900 well no! her parents were barely known in australia, and not known at all outside of the country so how is this a result of pure nepotism... make it make sense
angourie rice is a great actress but the lack of musical background is crazyyy. girlie was amazing w ryan gosling and russell crowe in the nice guys, but this type of stuff is not for her.
@layane1900 proof that youre someone who hears buzzwords online and uses them out of context 🙄
“get a life. meet a woman. love yourself.” no truer words have been spoken 😭💕
I can't believe they're talking about Reneé's body but I'm not surprised, first they talked about Ariana's body and recently Selena's, women's bodies are never good enough. I'm glad I abandoned social media and didn't see that shit 😖
Yeah but unfortunately 50% of people who talk about women's bodies, are other women. Women's harshest critics are typically others women.
FYI… on Broadway it was MISS SABRINA CARPENTER who played Cady with Renee playing Regina. They had like one show together before COVID shut them down
That's so sad I would have loved to see those two together more 😢
SABRINA AND RENEE???? ID PASS OUT
I feel like she was definitely the first choice, but with her touring so much they probably couldn't get her.
I wish she had played Cady in the movie, her vocals would have been on par with Reneé and Auli'i aka the best singers in the movie.
I would die seeing this, it woul be haven
Not now honey, mommy’s watching Ashley watch trash musicals for rent again.
LOVE HER FOR THAT
Ash has grandkids now🥲
Renee Rapp is literally one of the most talented people alive like
That’s an extremely insane statement. But it’s okay, you can have your opinion
nah
Hahahahahaha sure honey
@@packedentertainment2866how is it insane when Renee is literally talented
@@fatoumatacisse3796she's talented but one of the most is an outrageous statement 😭
watched for reneé rapp and stayed for her and auli’i cravalho, they slayed
Fr Auli’i was my fav 😂
Yes! Janis and Damian carried
@@imnotobsessedwiththat4162 fr!
SAME
YES
I believe Renee said she played Regina in a way that looks like she’s into Cady
When Renee as Regina said this line “Get in Loser”, she confirmed that Regina was flirting with Cady at that part.
Canonically she is homophobic. Though if the script changed I would much rather have that in this version than this faux romance with Aaron that they tried to force.
@@UnseathedDeitysomeone can be gay and homophobic, especially if they're closeted. it's unfortunately not an exclusive thing 😅
@@UnseathedDeity The homophobia is internalized
@@UnseathedDeityinternalized homophobia
I would've loved if Sabrina Carpenter played Cady like she did on Broadway
i wish but the movie was originally planned for streaming so they would NOT have the budget for that
closest thing we would've had to seeing her on broadway, i can't for the life of me find any full audios or "slime tutorials" of her
@@C0DAFIED I think they can, miss girl was starring in so many bad streaming movies
@@C0DAFIED sabrina was literally in a bunch of cheap netflix and prime movies lmao.
@@C0DAFIEDBudget for fucking Sabrina Carpenter ? Don’t make us laugh 😭
Me watching this to help pay Ashley’s bills ❤
god bless u
Cady and Aaron in this movie look like Jim and Pam before they started working at the office
🤣 LMAO
A.k.a the most bland
U say dont hate on renee raps looks but then people hate on others hypocritical
@@TjnosaurusRex this isn't hate
@@Chibbykins it literally is it does not have to be so direct
the girl from emily paris is ashley park and she actually played gretchen in the original broadway cast !!
Yess shes extremely talented too.
her Gretchen healed my soul.
I think the problem with movie musical adaptations like this and The Color Purple is that they're never able to recapture the experience of both mediums. (AKA original film and stage musical) So, instead you get something that feels more like a unnecessary remake with random music thrown into it. 🙃🙃🙃
Fair question then, what are musicals that work for you? I really want to understand more about the medium thingy~
valid opinion for this, but the color purple was so good 😭
@@xsimamora31 not to me but hairspray and tick tick boom are two musical that just get it
The thing is this movie was never gonna be good because the stage musical is also bad like really bad, just for context these are some actual lyrics that an actual songwriter wrote
"Acted nice when she not nice"
"It's like a party with revenge ita what its like" (in the actual chorus wtf)
The whole sexy halloween song that even tho its a really funny song its useless to the overall story like seriously
Child,I have PTSD from the Color Purple musical(2007- Chicago). They were trying to turn Celie being sold to Mister like a scene for comedy. Me and my mom were like, "Have we taken crazy pills?!? Why is everyone laughing!?"
Renee Rapp is the gay overlord we’ve all been waiting for. Her only rival is HIM from powerpuff girls.
Nobody likes her bc shes gay they like her bc of who she is
the fact that Cady was played by SABRINA CARPENTER on broadway… we could’ve had it all for this movie
bruh if we coulda had Renee AND Sabrina, this movie would’ve been perfect
IKR, but if we had Reené, Auli'i, AND Sabrina, my 90% lesbian self would of went CRAZY
the look Renee gives when she says "Get in loser" shut my entire body down
renee rapp, auli'i cravalho & avantika are the only reasons as to why i watched the new mean girls movie 😊
Bebe and Jacquel too
Imo, other than Cady and Aaron, the rest of the cast did good with their roles
Maxwell Greene has a great video about this movie and made a pretty valid point about why this movie isn’t very good. He said something along the lines of “Tina fey essentially had the impossible task of needing to write the same script, but couldn’t write the same jokes”
How much did they have to pay Tina Fey for her to do this again....like honestly something should just be LEFT ALONE
@@jpblack2148 I mean, she wrote the musical too. Nobody had to tempt her here lmao
The fact I both knew Ash was gonna hate Cady AND that she would have picked a Giraffe to be in the sequence was hilarious to me
Is no one going to talk about y she still isn't verified yet like TH-cam get over here she deserves it she has three channels and all are over 100k you deserve everything you want and need queen
Did we need a mean girls remake? No.
Did we all watch it anyways because Renee Rapp is in it? Yes.
Definitely not a remake ❤
And we ended up staying for Auliʻi Cravalho and Avantika
not a remake but keep yapping
its not a remake
Renee, Auhli’i, and Jaquel were easily the best part of this movie
OMG SO TRUE!
Ash reaction to Cady being hyped as best girl after the christmas party is just so funny to me, like what do you mean she ate? 😂😂
Thanks for pointing out the depiction of Africa in these movies girl , it’s definitely not empty here haha. Sending love from South Africa, been your biggest cheerleader ever since 2018🇿🇦🤍 Literally just did a rewatch of your Hill House series a few hours ago hehe
i love seeing fellow South Africans in places i least expect
hi :) ditto honestly ! super happy to meet another South African in mother’s corner
My mom is South African. She came to the U.S when she was young. Whenever I'd tell other kids at school about my ethnicity, they'd immediately go to the dumbest questions ever. Like, "did she live in a hut? Do they have water over there? Did she meet tigers/lions/elephants?" Yes, she gnawed on sugarcane and fed monkeys. But no, she did not live in a hut. And she did not ride elephants and hunt zebras with wooden spears.
People seem to have the impression that Africa is a barren wasteland. I can't speak for all of Africa, but I know for sure South Africa is not comprised of huts. Where my mom lived, it was a pretty normal-looking city. So when I'd tell them that, they couldn't wrap their heads around it. Come on now 😅
@@catsinwonderland7473 I’m not surprised though , Africa is even recognized as a country to some people, so maybe - in their eyes- we’re all just here for vibes in our jungle huts lol. Wonder how I’m able to comment online when we’re not “civilized” but oh well
@@catsinwonderland7473 I mean, the US has deserts and forest but you don't see movies saying "this is where americans live🏜", a country shouldn't be showcased as only rural areas 😒
The absolute best part is Damian singing the iCarly theme song in French for their winter talent show
I don't know that's what he was singing when I saw it in theater lol
I know we all came here for Renee but Auli’i honestly fucking slays soooo goddamn much!!! she can act, she can sing, she is the moment!!! and a true bicon!!!
Back in 2004, me and my mother went to our local Drive In 5 days in a row one week to see Mean Girls. She passed away in 2018 but the quotes still make me think of her. Such an iconic film.
I still remember owning a copy of MEAN GIRLS on VHS in 2004
Sorry for your loss ❤️
@@berrisfueller6221 Thank you love! It's never easy but we keep on keepin on
THIS HAIR IS LITERALLY SO GOOD ON YOUUUUUUUUU i’m literally kicking and giggling my feet every new video i fear UR SO PRETTY ASH 😭😭
I find it strange that everyone but Cady have particularly good vocal expressions and technique, and are not boring to listen to. She’s cute so I’ll give her that. And Reneé is just so hot all the time! Like OMFG is she even real?!
THE TITLE TOOK ME OUT 😭😭
The Raycon ad being just several seconds of Ash swinging her head around *chef's kiss*
not the way they act like the cafeteria is the ONLY place to eat on a school campus... like
And no one stopped her from bringing a whole tray of food into the bathroom?
Isn’t it?? It was when I was in school like 6 years ago lol but maybe I’m old
@@thebivocals3754 I graduated 10 years ago and it wasn't like this. Cliques weren't a thing and you definitely weren't taking food into the bathroom.
@@genera1013 yeah no I get that part, I was just replying to the op saying that the cafeteria was the only place to eat at school
@@thebivocals3754 honestly it depends on the school. I went to three different high schools, 1 had two cafeterias and we had to stay in either one. Another only had one cafeteria and we had to stay in the there. And the third one had one cafeteria but we could eat where on campus
I have not watched this movie except for that clip starting at 4:48 of Renee opening her jacket and omg the gay panic
I will watch this movie again and again just for Renee, Auli'i, and Avantika. Also, this adaption makes me believe that Janis and Regina were in love and I love it
THE TURTLE OR THE SLOTH BIT HAD ME DYINNGGGGG THAT NEEDS TO BE A GIF I STG. UR INTERNET MOTHER
THANK GOD I wasnt the only one who noticed it was the icarly theme song that quickly. i literally turned to my sister in the theater (bc I'm a simp for renee and aulii) and was like "is that the icarly theme song"
As a 16 year old, homeschooled girl, I was Cady being mesmerized by the "Meet The Plastics" songs.
6:22 I need a compilation of every time Ashley has used the Attack On Titan theme song in her videos 😂
Lindsey’s comeback and being in peak form is the most healing thing I’ve ever felt.
Ashley hating on Cady as much as I did gives me so much validation 😂😅
the version of Regina George that Renee Rapp created makes all the obsession and love towards her like understandable. People THIRST over her.
Jaquel, Auli'i and Reneé absolutely ate in this movie
this.
ASHLEY IS GIVING THE ENERGYYYYYY TOWARDS RENEE I WAS LOOKING FOR AAAAAAHHHHHH THIS IS WHY WE LOVE OUR INTERNET MOM
Yessssssss I love Ashley videos!!! Give Renée Rapp the attention she deserves!!
Still don't know how the main character can't even sing and got the lead role at a musical, like she was outshined by all her castmates
no truly like i seriously believe it would’ve been substantially better and well liked if they would’ve cast an actress w an actual musical background for cady, reneé had hair extensions to get that long pretty blonde hair look of regina, and the wardrobe choices were much different and not shein-adjacent
nepotism
acting out the animals is SENDING ME
She seems rlly fun to be around, love her energy😭😭 (first time watching her btw)
I still don’t understand why the writing has someone from Africa behave like an alien. She’s from another country not a separate planet. She might be confused in a new social setting but she’d still have her own pop culture references and perspective. She’s not a blank slate she’s just new
It made more sense in 2004 since there wasn’t as much social media
@@AnoraFan-z1vI think Lindsay was so good because she didn’t portray the naïveté so literary. Although in both versions I still find it weird how robotic Cady behaves.
The mirror scene in particular is weird because cady would understand insecurities it’s just that maybe South African culture ideals creates different ones. But for some reason she doesn’t understand the concept of insecurity
Her intro shot shows that she’s in the middle of no where. Cady wasn’t raised in a town but in the middle of the Savannah with her researcher mother. It makes sense (more so in the old version) why she has no idea about anything popular or up to date on trends. I feel like in modern times they could’ve attempted to explain her lack of phones or something but if there was never an interest I guess she wouldn’t be introduced to it.
I totally get the isolation aspect. What I’m saying is Cady in both versions acts confused about basic concepts that many people understand cross culturally research based upbringing or not.
Lindsay definitely acts the part better but Cady acts like she’s never been outside before.
I would find her character more believable if her confusion came from culture differences vs her not knowing literal human concepts
@@bsommervold my memory of the original is a bit foggy but 04 Cady’s social issue was mainly based in US slang and high school related issues. It shows in the intro she had been around kids at some point (not for how long) and she’s able to draw parallels to things she already understands (kids acting like animals). Her ineptitude shines in the experiences she couldn’t have at a research base, cliques, shopping and gossip.
In the 24 version all we know is that Cady has been isolated in Kenya for who knows how long. I think part of the issue is how the material is adapted making some plot holes shine brightly. Also some of the everyday things we see Cady wouldn’t have the chance to which comes off as outlandish. The main thing I can think of is road safety. I think the biggest problem with the new one is that now we have advanced tech so her confusion makes less sense.
I think auli'i has always been good with musicals or portraying emotions through singing in general like when you watch moana and listen to the songs, you GET THE FEELS
The musical stage play soundtrack is so good. I don’t understand why they did some of those arrangements in the movie.
Since you asked, Auli'i did her own make up and did or participated in a lot of the cast's make up as well, it's smt she loves doing and she's great at it, just like part of her character's outfit are actually pieces of clothing she handmade!
2:56 "I'ma try to be respectful, I'ma try not to be a b*tch."
As a proud Gerard-Butler-as-the-Phantom defender, I wish more people who watched The Phantom of the Opera (2004, *also* set to turn 20 this year) would do this too. Like, is he perfect? No. But does he still deliver the role with so much passion and respect for Erik's emotional journey? Absolutely! 👏🌹😎
OMG I DIDNT EVEN FINISH READING YOUR COMMENT BUT IM SO HAPPY TO SEE SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!! AND I AM TURNING 20 THIS YEAR😢
I was just thinking about that movie today. The movie was my intro to the musical and Gerard Butler. He wasn't the strongest singer for that part, but I l still love the film and Gerard's performance.
What???
@@dutchylott8965 Trust me, any opportunity I get to talk about Phantom, I'm THERE, even if I have to be the one to initially bring it up. 😉And congrats on you turning 20. 🥰
@@mmgringoire2 Same here! Can I admit there are certain notes Gerry does that make me wince a little? Yes. But will anyone convince me to reject his performance fully? Never. It was *his* performance that made me care for the character and fall in love with a story that has stuck with me for so long. And it's obvious in promos how much he connected with Erik's character and wanted to do him justice. Hell, even last year when he was on The Drew Barrymore Show, he talked about how much the role still resonates with him, which makes me so happy to hear. 🥺💖
the amount of times i replayed your “is that how you signal hurt? *shakes in whisper* that’s a choice” is astronomical
renee, auli'i, avantika and bebe slayed this loved their acting and voices
Hey fun little hack for songs. Some reactors get away with isolating the vocals and you can put more of them vocals in without the music:) I LOVE your channel you are such a comfort
1:52 Auli’i is so pretty!!
4:47, 13:00, 19:25 hello?? mother?
5:00 I ship Regina and Cadyalso you playing "Fancy" was perfect!!
14:59 honestly that would do it for me too
18:48 Damian's only team!
Also you should react to the last half of Avatar. I loved this upload, thanks momma Ash!😘
Fun fact! The French teacher was the original Gretchen for mean girls the musical!
Ashley Park, the French teacher, is the original Gretchen from the Broadway musical!
i went to see this film with like 8 people and most of them were hating so bad on janet and i still can’t fathom why?? she played the part SO well, her voice is amazing and she’s just iconic
IKR
Janis*
@@_lLexa_l oh lol thanks
everyone who's not sapphic is simply not gonna get this movie. it's not for you. that's okay. straight rights! 💜
ASH!! Sabrina Carpenter played Cady on Broadway for a hot minute before the pandemic!
17:47
What’s really unrealistic is that TikTok would actually care this much about a high school performance.
definitely recommend the original broadway musical! it’s a lil silly a little on the nose with lyrics but the energy is THERE! plus the chemistry between aaron and cady and even aaron and regina is much stronger in the original cast (maybe that’s cause the actors who played aaron and cady eventually got married but ANYWAY)
This video feels particularly chaotic and I love it .
fun fact: the french teacher is Gretchen's actress on the musical!
I literally DIED when you did the turtle and resurrected when you did the hyena 😂😭 I just can't
The clips from editing Ashley kills me everytime from this to Avatar .. hilarious 😂
15:10 She was in Emily In Paris (never watched so do not know if it Improved)…but she was the original Gretchen in Mean Girls on Broadway.
i always LOVE the flips to future ashley, gets me every time 😭😭
17:02 she’s like you wanna go outside say to me
Ash's impression of a turtle has me ROLLING 😭😭😭
it's crazy because on broadway, cady was played by erika henningsen who has AMAZING vocals :')
but the thing is i think angourie CAN sing but she’s just meant for more calm types of songs, it just sounds bad cuz she didn’t make it sound as fun and playful as erika did
Fr. I think Angourie can sing just not these types of songs.
the new generation of glee was odd but jake puckerman's 'let me love you' cover is SO GOOD 😭
also 'keep holding on' always makes me feel emotional idek why
Love the commitment to playing the turtle/sloth creature
“Come on Moana” 😂😂 killed me
Girlll I'm begging you to listen to the Mean Girls Musical soundtrack, its actually so gooooddddd
No one told me about Lindsay’s cameo either, I would’ve been at the IMAX!
Mother does look great
🦊🥰💕
The way Broadway songs dont directly transfer to digital is it ends coming off as aggressive and screaming so they had to switch it down a bit
Me, hoping you listened to the full Broadway OST after doing the "Stupid with Love" comparison because I know you'd have a fucking blast listening to that.
The way I low-key sit here and wonder if you were lurking at the fringes of my part of Glee fandom back in the day.
(I do love that the entirety of your reaction was basically the same as mine, right down to the "NO ONE TOLD ME LINDSAY WAS IN HERE?!" (Also, fun fact, I think she was like, several months pregnant when she filmed this? Truly bringing Mean Girls to the next generation.) But yes, if you get the chance to see the actual full production of the musical, I think you'd really enjoy it, it's SUCH a good time.)
The quick break where you pretended to be various animals SENT me. Like why are you so good at it tho
I want a Koya plushie too 😂
Also, yes as an African there's so much more to Africa than elephants, dry Acacia trees or whatever
Ash im so sorry you didnt get to experience Someone Gets Hurt in theaters bc it was an experience
Kady's first song and shes running around sounding out of breath lol we're in for a ride i guess
Ash!! If you wanna react to more stuff with Renee Rapp, watch the Sex Lives of College Girls!! It's on Max, and it's such a fun time
The Dialogue Feels Like Its Fresh Out Of A Grocery Bag 😂
Sometimes I don't watch your (or anyone's) videos for a little while because ADHD makes me incapable of longer videos and then I watch one, and I'm like, oh, right - gotta watch every single her videos now. Flawless. No notes.
YAY I am so happy you reacted to this! I saw the musical live with one of my best friends and we also saw the new movie together. I personally didn’t like it that much but it had its funny moments for sure! I’m glad I had a fun day out with my bff ❤
very happy that ash notices the fact that Cady and Regina are in love
Ashley PLEASE look up videos of Giraffes fighting, they whip their heads like crazy 😭
I've been waiting for this video since January and it did NOT disappointed
i can’t even describe how happy i am that you did a video on this I FUCKING LOVE RENNE RAPP. if you love her as much as i do i HIGHLY recommend “the sex lives of college girls” a tv show that she is on and it’s so good
personally i see this movie as a comfort movie for me and I LOVE mean girls 2004 and mean girls the musical so IDK i like this movie its so fun
ALSO I MAINLY LOVE THIS MOVIE FOR RENEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LETS BE HONEST
janis is the real villain, but no one wants to have that conversation
no matter what you thought about it, im glad you gave it a fair shot. i feel like ive seen so many creators just shit on it because it isnt exactly like the movie they grew up with and nitpick every single change made
you're ofically my new favourite youtuber. OMG I love your voice and humour you are such a vibeeee!!!!!!!
renee rapp as regina is truly everything. idc how mean she is, she can do no wrong☺️
this is my current hyperfixation so thank you for knowing the vibes
omg your so real for shipping cady and regina 😭 and also renee & the singing from Auliʻi and damien. he and karen were so funny in this. i heard there will be a moana 2 soon! i would love to see your reaction to watching Blue Eye Samurai!!
15:13 She was also the original Gretchen on Broadway (which I’m assuming is why she had a small role in this movie)
I really liked this musical movie, even if Mean Girls is my favorite movie ever. I just went without seeing it as a reboot but just a new piece, adapted from the musical, itself adapted from the og movie. Plus, I really like musicals, the Mean Girls songs slap, and I really liked the nods to the og movie. The og is still better, of course, but once you watch this one with the mindset that it's not a reboot but kind of a different piece, it's actually pretty good ! Just one thing though... Where's dad ?!
