The only mean thing is why this was made – MONEY
Mean Girls 2 reminds me of another poor quality sequel that I watched recently; Dream a Little Dream 2. The similarities are so vast, you could do a compare/contrast project for school on it. Both were released six years after their predecessors, both don’t include many, roughly any actors from the first, both are low budget, and both are Direct-to-DVD. I’m surprised the DVD of MG2 doesn’t include a preview of DALD2. It would be so fitting.

The original Mean Girls was just seen by me a few months back. In my review I stated “In terms of a teenage high school film, this was almost perfect. Its been a while since we saw a teen movie done well. With garbage like She’s the Man, John Tucker Must Die, and other failed experiments gone wrong this was a breath of fresh air to see one done well.” Looking back, it was a fantastic film. Just a few minor things prevented a perfect review. Now, the original Mean Girls has something even worse than a seventeen year old getting a zit in plain site; a lukewarm, poor sequel that branches off of the film.

The plot: Jo Mitchell (Martin) is a High School Senoir victim to her father’s profession because she changes schools twice a year. She settles down her final High School year at North Shore High School, and has her heart set on Carnegie Mellon University. During her High School year she finds “The Plastics”, the bossy bitches of school who make everyone else feel unappreciated while they live it up.

Along the way, Jo meets the outcast Abby (Stone). Abby has almost no friends, and upon arrival to her house one day, Jo is faced with a clean cut deal from her rich father where he offers her $4,000 for College to be Abby’s friend through Senoir year. A shocking, but rewarding deal. Jo accepts.

Jo then turns down an offer of hanging out with Plastic leader Mandi (Walsh), and is now on the chopping block. Mandi witnesses Jo hanging with Abby and is shocked. Mandi makes Jo’s life a living hell. Whats her plan? Well, Jo must’ve read an old year book about Lindsay Lohan’s encounter with The Plastics because she does just what Cady did in the original; she tries to bring The Plastics down.

The rest goes as “The Big Book of High School Teenage Movie Clichés” says. Things start out good, go bad, then end good and happy. This shouldn’t even be related to the original near-masterpiece Mean Girls was. It’s just a poorly made television remake of a great film. It should’ve been called In the Race (anyone who’s seen it will get the joke).

Meaghan Martin (Jo Mitchell) is Tess from the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock. Oddly enough, in Camp Rock, Meaghan played the girl she is trying to avoid in this film. She sets such an image for herself in that movie, and it’s awkward seeing her in the role of the protagonist. Still, she could be replaced with Lindsay Lohan and it wouldn’t change the lackluster script or inevitable low budget sequel feel this one currently possess.

The wit is also lost too. In the original film Mean Girls almost revolved around the way the girls spoke to each other. Whether waving their hips or making some sort of uncalled for comment, the girls showed no mercy and were hysterical. Jo drops some fair lines, but pretty much the whole wit-filled one liners were missing. I loved that stuff, where’d it go? Down the tubes along with the idea for a sequel to film that is 100% on it’s own.

What a shame Mean Girls 2 doesn’t live up to it’s name. Instead it curses the franchise by adding an unnecessary “2” in the title. All it is is a remake of a film that doesn’t need a damn sequel. It’s clearly just a money hungry movie that doesn’t care the reception it gets. Just as long as it makes a respectable profit.

Starring: Meaghan Martin, Jennifer Stone, Nicole Anderson, Maiara Walsh, Claire Holt, and Diego González. Directed by: Melanie Mayron.

Not close to the original, not close at all
When films are released as straight-to-video, expectations are generally lowered. This becomes very difficult when the film is released as a sequel to a film that was already incredibly popular years ago. This is the case with “Mean Girls 2”, the follow-up to 2004’s “Mean Girls”.

Yet again, the story focuses on a high school student moving to a new school. This time, the girl’s name is Jo Mitchell (Meaghan Jette Martin), and she’s a bit of a loner, so she tells us with her opening voice-over. She is welcomed to the school by Abby (Jennifer Stone), a girl who we can quickly acknowledge as the often bullied girl. She’s one of those unpopular students, the ones that the ‘cool’ people wouldn’t be caught dead with. Naturally, Jo befriends her.

She has good reason to though, Abby’s father pays her. No really, he offers her $50 000 to be Abby’s friend for the rest of the year. Although this isn’t why Jo does this, she ends accepting the money. Jo wants to go to college after all, and her father’s business isn’t going as well as it used to. She needs to accept the money, otherwise she’ll have to go to a college close to home, and that just wouldn’t do.

Back at school, Abby’s life, and by extension, Jo’s own, is beginning to take a turn for the worst. “The Plastics” are back, reincarnated for the newer generation. They are led by Mandi (Maiara Walsh), a girl so incredibly evil that she marks the top of her “i” with a heart instead of the usual dot. That’s not exactly fair, Mandi and her group is fairly mean, even going so far as to destroy the motor of the car her father was fixing up.

Jo swears revenge upon the new group of evil popular students, and that’s what the rest of the film centers on. Over the course of “Mean Girls 2”, many jokes from the original are re-hashed, usually far less effectively than before, and the plot takes almost the same path that it took in “Mean Girls”. Things do happen differently, but the end result is just about exactly the same.

The thing is, we don’t care at all about any of the characters involved. In “Mean Girls”, we got significant depth into Cady, and we wanted to see her take the Plastics down. In this one, Jo acts just as, if not more, evil as they do, and when things turn around upon her, we can’t feel sorry for her, as the film seems to want us to. Even near the beginning, when she is clearly fighting back against the Plastics, she is still deceiving her “friend” by taking the money from Abby’s father.

If there was one main problem that “Mean Girls” had, it was that it felt like the events happening within it were just a bit too far-fetched to actually be happening. I’m sure some of it could and does happen in school, but sometimes it just seemed too unbelievable. In “Mean Girls” 2, almost all of the major plot events are like this. For example, do you really think people would paintball someone’s car? How about gluing the seat of someone’s moped so that they become stuck to it?

What’s worse, the Plastics in this film have even less reason to make Abby and Jo’s lives miserable. For Abby, they don’t like her before the film begins, and it’s just because Abby is richer than Mandi. For ruining Jo’s life, it seems to be based purely on jealousy, even if Mandi stays popular even after Jo appears at the school. The so-called jealousy doesn’t even have much backing behind it, let alone letting it drive an entire character throughout the story.

Okay, so it has got a weak plot with weak characters, at least it has a humorous script, right? Nope. It doesn’t, sorry. It has a couple of moments that will give you a chuckle, but for the most part, no, it just isn’t that funny. The funniest parts, for me at least, were when the lower budget really came through in the filmmaking.

Definitely showing the lower budget were the actors hired. The main cast, Jo, Abby and Mandi, are all former Disney stars. This doesn’t bode well for them to begin with, and we begin to notice in a feature-length film that they aren’t the greatest actors in the world. They’re not terrible, no, but they have about as emotional a performance as a brick wall. Yes, if allow paint to drip down it, you can make it look like it’s crying, and that’s about how the actors in the film felt like.

For all the complaining about the film I’ve done, I can’t say that the film was a complete waste. For some reason, I didn’t absolutely hate it. It stayed somewhat entertaining throughout, maybe for the “so bad it’s good” factor, I’m not really sure. Maybe I kept hoping that it would improve, even if it did keep getting worse as the film progressed. There were some humorous parts, and the story does at least have enough twists in it that if you haven’t seen “Mean Girls”, you’ll be surprised by them.

Basically, there isn’t any reason to see “Mean Girls 2”, because “Mean Girls” still exists. The characters have little depth and almost no motivation, the story isn’t surprising if you’ve seen the original, and most of the jokes are replays of the ones seen in the first film. The acting isn’t all that good, and while it was nice to see some Disney stars taking on more mature and realistic roles, the film didn’t feel at all believable, as the entire drama of high school felt way too over- the-top. There isn’t much reason for this film to exist, except cash-in on the “Mean Girls” name. Don’t let it draw you in.
