minus-squareglimse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up28·11 months agoMean Girls was a pretty perfect movie that still holds up. Not sure why a remake was necessary in the first place
minus-squareScrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17arrow-down1·11 months agoI just learned in this headline it was a musical, which opens up a new thought. I think this is a movie adaptation of the mean girls musical on Broadway, which was an adaptation of the movie. We’ve come full circle. Now we need Broadway show of this one.

minus-squarejopepa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-211 months agoIt’s been a successful touring show for a few years, plenty of people can’t afford to go to live performances, easy choice for an adaptation since it’s basically already made.

minus-squareDeath_Equity@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 months agoI can also watch it on pornhub, it is still a filming of a theater performance and not a movie musical.
