Marketing for the new version of Mean Girls has been very clear: "This is not your mother's Mean Girls," reads the tag line.
Aside from some questionable maths – most Millennial women who watched the original 20 years ago probably don't have their own teenage daughters quite yet – the tagline serves as an important reminder: anyone expecting a carbon copy of classic 2004 teen film might be a little disappointed. This is Mean Girls updated for a new generation of teenagers.
