While this wonderful job that I have affords me the opportunity to see a lot of movies in any given year, even now I don’t see everything. And back before this was my job, I saw even fewer movies on a regular basis. As such, there are lots of movies, including many great and popular ones, that I have never seen, and that includes Mean Girls.
Actually, that’s only half true. I have not seen Mean Girls, the 2004 comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. I have seen Mean Girls, the 2024 musical starring Angourie Rice and Reneé Rapp. I’ve always meant to see the original movie, but I just never got around to it. But now that I have seen the musical version, I’m not sure I’ll ever go back and watch the original, because I can’t imagine I would like it more than the musical.
