Mean Girls's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
You can rest assured that this musical sticks close to the spirit and to the letter of the movie that updated and mythologized the culture of gossip and backstabbing for a new generation. The new movie nudges the material into our own era in a handful of ways.
USA Today
This new installment of 'Mean Girls' sticks to the script in terms of plot, to a slavish extent. Even Fey and Tim Meadows playing their old teacher roles seem forced and uninspired. Only when the film remembers that it is a musical does it refreshingly break with the norm.
The Hollywood Reporter
All the effervescence and fun have been drained out of the material in this labored reincarnation, a movie musical made by people who appear to have zero understanding of movie-musical vernacular.
