I had an absolute blast watching this. I was so shocked with just how well written this screenplay was and the dialogue is so iconic!! I will definitely have to rewatch at some point! Enjoy :)

fun fact: rachel mcadams filmed this at the same time as The Notebook! talk about two completely different characters!
Rachel’s blonde wig was $20K, and it sold at auction for $600K. She couldn’t bleach her hair bc of the dual filming!
Wait WHAT? are you for real? That's awesome! That shows how great actress she is 👏🏻
So she was wearing a wig ! 😮
She actually auditioned for both around the same time and got double booked in 2 of the biggest films that year as an up-and-coming actress.
I don't get why she needed the wig, her character on the notebook was a blonde too, they could have straightened her hair and add extensions for length if that was the issue@@alisong826
My favorite thing, the actors that play Aaron Samuels, Kevin Gnapoor, Damian, and Jason are all gay. Yup all four of them. That is why this cast is so amazing. 😂
JASON TOO? Omg! Lol
HAHAHA WHAT
JASON?
That’s outrageous bro I don’t believe you
@@iiii12345 I don't think Jason is confirmed but the others are
Your observation skills are so good, it never occurred to me that we never learn anything about Aaron. He was just there to look pretty and that was the depth of his character. This is why I watch you 😄
We may not learn about him personally, but he is essentially us. He is almost the moral compass of the story. He's always calling people out and explaining the real truth.
Well, it was the girls’ point of view. They were that shallow.
@@hashtagfilmI always assumed that he was supposed to be the equivalent of the love interest (pretty girl) in most high school movies with a male main character
regina thought Janis was lesbian because Janis said she was Lebanese & regina thought she said she was a lesbian 💀 this movie is so damn funny
edit: JUST A THEORY BTW NOT A FACT
There's that, and I don't think reactors react enough to Regina's story about their falling out. She says something like "like whenever I would blow her off to hang out with a guy she'd get upset with me and I'd be like why are you so obsessed with me?"
So even in Regina's version of the story, Janis was only getting upset *because Regina was actively blowing her off,* which is basically a normal human reaction lol.
I always see this comment and I'm not sure that's true. When Regina is talking about Janis to Catie, she says "Janis you can't come to my pool party cause I think you might be a lesbian". If Janis told Regina she was Lebanese and and Regina thought she was saying lesbian, then she wouldn't say "i think you might be a lesbian", she would say "you told me you were a lesbian".
That's a fun fan theory, but it doesn't really make sense. Regina called her a lesbian because Janis was "obsessed" with her
@@giovannacarrillo6837 To me it makes sense because why would they even include that moment in the movie where she tells the guy that she's Lebanese, it was totally unnecessary to the plot unless it was meant to be perceived as that joke. Plus Regina could've said "I think you might be a lesbian" after she heard it going around maybe Janice didn't tell it to her directly that she was Lebanese.
Nah, that's speculation, the actual writer said it wasn't true. Regina thought Janis was a lesbian because of what she explains, the jealousy. They made Janis say she is lebanese to get her with Kevin as a joke, maybe they didn't realize it sounded similar? I mean they needed a country where she could pass as a woman of color idk?
My brother is a former US Marine and he is unashamedly a huge fan of this movie. He thinks it is absolutely hilarious. Always has. Even if there is a certain demographic they were aiming for, they managed to make 20-something year old tough men huge fans of it as well. So your love of it is not weird. It’s a phenomenal movie. Loved hearing your laughter throughout.
43 yo guy here. It's one of my comfort movies. It's just a perfect HS movie, and I'm a huge Tina Fey stan. This movie is perfect
I don’t think they were aiming for a broader demographic as the jokes are filled with nuances that only literates can understand. HOWEVER, a lot of people think that the jokes making fun of the ones who are saying it aren’t a criticism to society but actual real funny jokes.
Like the redneck kids talking about “homosexuals.” Some might think “ha, homosexuals”, when the joke is on the people who think that way. And so on.
My dad, brother, and mother all love it. Never met anyone who didn’t at least get it. My grandma giggled as well.
that’s great but I hope he’s ashamed of being a former terrorist and is a former one because he uses his heart&brain and helps their victims instead now
I absolutely love how invested you are with everything you watch and how you show empathy for everyone, including characters that might be written to be one-dimensional. This is one of my favorite comfort movies, I'm so glad you reacted to it! Keep it up!!!
Agree
Mean Girls is endlessly hilarious and quotable. A true classic. If you haven’t already, Legally Blonde and the House Bunny are also great comedies that some guys might overlook because of the movie posters or trailers.
omg love both but the house bunny does not get nearly enough recognition
HOUSE BUNNY!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
One thing I like visually is that in the three way phone call scene, Regina is on the left and Cady is on the right. Later, when Cady takes over as the queen bee, on the next phone call scene SHE is on the left and Regina on the right - also visually taking over her position.
wow, I’ve probably seen this movie at least 10 times but I never noticed that before!
edit: oh my God, when that scene came on in this video I looked at it again and Cady is even lying on her bed in the same pose as Regina. that’s brilliant
Just wanted to say I love your reactions and how sweet and sensitive you are towards the characters in your videos :)
EXACTLY! It's so hard to come by people who are as impartial and empathetic as he is these days❤
hes so dreamy😄
ikr I enjoy his reactions so much! He's so empathetic every time@@tabithanel9652
Karen is always my favorite; we still do her fake cough, and quote so many of her lines, lol. Glad you enjoyed. Fun reaction!
If you want to watch more movies in the same realm as Mean Girls, I would recommend Heathers (1988) if you never seen it. It is a more dark and cynical movie, I think it was supposed to be a dark satire of the more optimistic teen movies that came out at the time like Sixteen Candles or the Breakfast Club. The movie even inspired a popular musical of the same name that came out in the 2010s 😊
and also i hear mean girls was inspired by heathers!! (or something like that?)
@@FRU1TC0LA As someone who loves both, I don't think there's enough similarities to fully say that there was inspiration but a fun connection is that the writer of Heathers: Daniel Waters is the older brother of the director of Mean Girls: Mark Waters
I’d recommend Devil Wears Prada if you haven’t already seen it
I’m pretty sure you’re the exact demographic for this movie. Such a great movie and quotable lines
exactly
@@joolaine i mean, i don't wanna speculate but he might be a cigarette....
@@joolaine I think it's pretty obvious, even if we're supposed to pretend it isn't.
Y’all are so messy 😂😂😂. Seriously though, let’s not assume/speculate about someone’s sexuality. It can be uncomfortable and invasive.
@@joolaine As a, as you sensibly say... "you know?", I'll say that making speculations about people's sexuality and talking about queer people as if we were something scandalous is pretty crappy behavior, regardless of your own sexuality. Who the eff cares about his sexuality unless he brings it up? It is none of our business.
29:45 And that's how you know a reactor has definitely never seen Mean Girls before 🤣
I just rewatched this over Christmas and basically talked along to every line because it's just so memorable, it's been endlessly quoted in pop culture since it came out. I still say, "the limit does not exist!" when something is extreme (like "oh my gosh this food is so so good" or "I have literally a million things to do like x and y and z") all the time. Or when my mom is doing something to mimic young people like misusing slang, I say, "I'm not like other moms, I'm a cool mom" and my mom groans and says, "oh no tell me i'm not really acting like that" because she cringes so hard at that character. Or when my sister is complaining about her bushy hair, I quote, "that's why her hair is so big, it's full of secrets." Honestly, there are probably about 50+ lines I pull out occasionally because it's just THAT iconic and applicable to so many situations. It was so fun getting to watch someone experiencing it for the first time!
31:23 remember they were making out in the room above the auditorium when damian pretended to steal cady’s purse
one of my favourite movies ever and not ashamed to admit it
Why would you be ashamed? It’s a masterpiece
Aaron Samuels is played by Johnathon Bennett. He still acts, but it mostly known now as Host of those holiday dessert shows like Cake Wars. He wrote a cook book based on the Burn Book from this movie. He also has a husband Jaymes.
So glad you watched this. I think _Mean Girls_ should be every man’s guilty pleasure. 😂
October 3rd is *_Mean Girls Day_* btw ❤
A few days ago my friend said to me he couldn't join me for an online gaming session and i literally said 'boo, you whore' in Regina's accent and he was crying laughing. It just came out i swear.
Thanks, Oscar! 👠 There's nothing messed up about having a wide range of appreciation. I say kudos to you taking chances. Mark Waters directed this one. He's not involved in the 2024 musical remake. But writer *Tina* *Fey* will reprise her role as 'Mrs. Norbury'.
I laughed so much with you although I've watched this so many times. Great reaction, glad you enjoyed it!
Tina Fey is one of my absolute favorite modern day writers. I adore this movie and was so happy to see this on my feed! Glad you loved it the whole way through 💖
Now you've gotta watch Legally Blonde! In my mind, it's the same kind of movie as Mean Girls.
Loved the reaction! :D I think you might also really enjoy "She's the Man" with Amanda Bynes if you haven't seen it already! ^^
Omfg channing tatums start in comedy basically. He's hilarious in that
This reaction was so sweet and enjoyable watching you react to it. Absolutely loved how in shock you were with Regina and the bus scene. Always keep making the day better when see your new uploads! Keep up the amazing work and enjoying yourself!
"Damian, can we NOT!"...Lizzy Caplan, aka Janice Ian, is also in Cloverfield. She plays Marlena, one of the five core characters.
Her breaking the plastic crown as a symbol is just too good LOLOL
Your giggle gives me life! :D This is one of those movies that has no right to be as good as it is.
rachel mcadams wore a very expensive wig for this movie since she was also filming the notebook and didn't want to hurt her hair. her hair was actually insured for $10k in real life XD
“She’s so dumb I love it” what people probably say about me tbh lmaoo
I keep recommending your channel to everyone I know cause honestly, you are the best, thank you for one more amazingly fun reaction!
Just wanted to say you’re one of my fave reactors I’ve recently discovered! I remember watching this when it came out and it’s still just as funny.
you should totally watch freaky friday, another great lindsay lohan film!
The way I stopped scrolling and clicked so fucking fast. I love watching people watch this movie for the first time 😂
This movie is a modern classic and is based in a book : Queen bees and wannabes so was well portrait in cinema. Lindsay Lohan in her best moments
When this movie came out I thought it was hilarious because I was homeschooled until high school.
Also homeschooled kids are super independent and also don’t see adults as authorities usually but as just older equals.
Love your reactions bro!
Here’s some great movies from 80s, 90s & Early 00’s I recommend you to watch & do a reaction to:
“The Parent Trap” 1998
“The Lost Boys” 1987
“The Girl Next Door” 2004
“Kangaroo Jack” 2003
“The Sandlot” 1993
“The Goonies” 1985
“License to Drive”1988
“Lucas”1986
“The Iron Giant” 1999
“Coming to America” 1988
“Beverly Hills Cop” 1984
“Beverly Hills Cop II”1987
“Beverly Hills Cop III” 1994
“Richie Rich” 1994
“Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” 1971
“Charlie & the Chocolate Factory” 2005
that visceral jump you gave when Regina got hit by the bus made me LOL 😂😂
This movie just never gets old, I love it to bits. Always happy to see new people watch it. Now go spread all the amazing quotes so other people watch it as well...
I started watching your Friends reactions a while back and have stayed for those and the movies. Always great reactions. Thanks!
Lot of fun watching this with you!
Tina Fey (the math teacher) wrote this, so if you haven’t seen them yet I think you’d really like the TV shows she created, “30 Rock” and “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.”
30 rock is still fucking amazing. Milf island (not to be confused with the real show milf manor), when Jack donaghy tried to murder Seinfeld, Kenneth being an immortal angel type thing... God. I love 30 rock.
Yes, they were right. 30:58
That scene with the Asian girl that the coach was making out with in the middle of the movie (right after Christmas break).
Lindsay is a really talented actress, and this film orived that. Her character growth from beginning to end is amazing to watch. Especially considering that a film is shot out of order.
LOVE that you did this!!! mean girls is an utter classic ❤
What an ICONIC movie! I remember seeing it in theaters with my friends when I was in junior high school and it’s still just 10/10 lol. We still commemorate October 3rd and make a post if we happen to wear pink on a Wednesday
Always a great video Oscar. Hope you have a great New Year buddy. Wishing you all the best.😊
My sister was in 9th grade when this came out and I was in 4th I couldn’t even tell you how many times we went to BLOCKBUSTER (yeah I’m old!) to rent the DVD. It never ever gets old.
Omg Oscar. You should watch sky high! It’s like a Disney take on a superhero movie that takes place in high school. Idk why I thought of it during the prom scene but I think you’ll enjoy it. It’s a hidden gem of lighthearted fun : )
Also! So so glad to have found you this year. You are so appreciated!
mean girls is a classic, such high quality throughout! awesome reaction :D
Oscar, I'm sure you'd enjoy "Clueless" as well, another iconic movie with a similar vibe but from the 90's, very silly and fun!
I used to watch this movie on repeat as a preteen 🤣🤣🤣 such an iconic film honestly
Fun fact: all three of the male leads in this movie (damian, aaron and kevin) came out as gay sometime after they starred in this movie
Kevin G is gay too?
@@mattb6704 He sure is
You're reactions are so much fun. You are absolutely adorable. In my top 5 UA-cam crushes, for sure ;)
Great reaction, love how you picked up on Cady's change in looks as well as Aaron having essentially no personality shown.
I'd highly recommend you check out the film St Trinian's (2007). I'd say it's somewhat similar, with it being a comedy about a new girl at a school and her trying to find her place there. However it's British and goes in a different direction, still full of 2000s edginess though.
You're the most baby, sweetest youtuber. I love your reactions. ❤
Her being Lebanese wasn't the joke though lol Regina really thought that she was a lesbian because when Regina had a boyfriend Janice got really clingy lol she explained that.
Pls the early 2000s movies had some really wild stuff that would NEVER fly today 😂
Loved the reaction! ❤ It’s SUCH an iconic movie, I swear I quote it everyday! Also you should definitely do a reaction to The Notebook, it’s an amazing movie and Rachel McAdams character is so different compared to Mean Girls, which just shows what an incredible actor she is!
This film is perfect! I love the humor, the lesson this film teaches, I AM IN LOVE! and PLEASE watch The Notebook, it's my favorite movie ever!
"No way, they were right?!" We literally have a scene where they walk in on the coach and the student making out, lol.
Probably because I grew up in a private school and used to only seeing teachers wearing casual clothing… lol.
@@thecocoacouch That makes sense, actually. 😂
Mean girls was and is iconic, and no one even remembers it was based off of Heathers.
It wasn't based off of Heathers it's based off a book for parents called "Queen Bees and Wannabes". There are genre similarities but it's not based off of it at all.
I had a friend in high school who would find out which boy I had a crush on and then suddenly have a crush on them too.
It was honestly ridiculous. None of the cute boys knew or cared I existed and I still to this day have no idea why she thought it necessary to sabotage the 0% chance I had with any of them anyway.
You’re my favorite reactor, thanks for caring so much!
Fun fact - Aaron Samuels, Kevin G and Demian are all out and proud gay men
I love how much this made you laugh!! This is one of my favourite movies of all time! I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much!!
Can't wait to see all the reactions next year!
Happy 2024!!
May I recommend Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Dazed and Confused,Pretty In Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,Easy A, Heathers, Pump Up The Volume, The Lost Boys, The Goonies, Desperately Seeking Susan,Welcome to the Dollhouse,The Last American Virgin,Promising Young Woman,Saltburn,Terms of Endearment,An Officer and A Gentleman,Flashdance, Booksmart and Eighth Grade. Sorry so many just some suggestions which I think others would agree you’d enjoy! Happy New Year Oscar and God bless! 🎉🎊🍾🎈🪅🎆✝️🙏☮️
Coach Carr probably went to prison for petty revenge 😂
Im so glad you liked this one! This movie is unhinged at its finest 😂
I really hope you watch the notebook! The noteboom and this are rachels best movies!! She was incredible in both
Ur Australian accent “oh nooooore” 😂
This is one of my all time favorite movies. Can't wait to watch the reaction!
If you’re diving into the 90s-2000s teen high school comedies, I’d definitely recommend The New Guy and She’s the Man. 2 of my favorite underrated movies!
It’s so fun to see guys enjoy this movie. It’s definitely a “girlie” movie but the humor is the best
The one thing that bothers me about Aaron in the scene where she throws up on him, is him wondering why Cady didn't just talk to him, and seemingly misunderstood that Cady was saying Regina was possessive of him and treated him as property, but when he offered to start tutoring her he knew to keep it a secret from Regina because she'd be mad if they hung out. So like. He knew why she couldn't just talk to him lol. And even if he meant before he got back with Regina, he knew that Regina got back with him right after telling him that Cady liked him, so even if he completely believed Regina just wanted to get back with him, it really doesn't take much thinking to realize why Cady couldn't "just talk to him" while being friends with Regina lol.
i absolutely love this movie and a good part of that is because they mentioned my godfather in it!!
when cady stays home instead of going to madison with her parents, it's because they went to a ladysmith black mambazo concert
her mom says (when cady said she didn't want to go) "but you love ladysmith black mambazo!"
well, the leader and founder of ladysmith is my godfather! they did some music in lion king 2, among many other things, but it was such a shock to hear the name mentioned the first time i saw this!
she should have gone, ladysmith black mambazo concerts are great
i've seen a good few of them and always got to go to the green room before and after concerts and have dinner with them and stuff, but the concerts really are great and totally worth it
we (my family and i) are still in contact with his grandson and my mom and dad are friends with their manager and several other members, but my godfather passed in february of 2020
they're still amazing concerts, and i highly recommend going if you have the chance, it's just not the same as when he was there :(
This was one of my fave childhood movies - it's funny every time.
36:30 as someone whos lebanese, i was SO happy when i found out that we have representation in a movie made in the 2000s! also people have mistook lebanese as lesbian multiple times lol. good thing im both
Ooh The Notebook would be a great reaction! Be prepared for some big emotions though is all I'll say 😂
This movie was funny because Tina Fey wrote it, (she plays Cady's teacher) and Lorne Michaels produced it. I don't know if you've ever seen SNL (Saturday Night Live) but it's that style of comedy and how so many great comedians got their start like The Blues Brothers, Eddie Murphy and many others.
Ok now you have to watch
"Wild Child" it' has the same vibe as Mean girls, maybe even more interesting
Regina's mom was also the voice of Joy from Inside Out as well
i wold love to see your reaction to "the parent trap"( with lindsey Lohan) and "it takes two" ( with the olsen twins ) :)
I can quote every line of this movie it's my favvvvv
hope you do legally blonde soon too! love your reactions. saludos from Mexico 💚
I swear my high school was exactly like this
Great reaction!!
You really need to check out the movie Heathers - it’s the OG mean girls and is funny as hell but a lot darker. Stars Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.
Just a fewwww suggestions.
Wellllllllll.....
Maybe a little bit more than a few.

This was such a joyful watch.
Haha, Oscar. I was in high school during this time. Before social media, smartphones, and memes were a thing, we used to just quote this movie at each other for fun.
see also: jawbreaker (1999) and heathers (1988)! both fun movies that are sort of like the spiritual ancestors of mean girls!
you should do easy a! may have to watch some john hughes 80s classics first to get some references, but its a good one!
This reaction channel is the best istg
This movie was so well planned out and written. I know its based off a book, but the way the plot develops between those characters, and how the powers shift, and the many many lessons the plot actually teaches you is insane. And many thought this was just going to be another empty teen movie with no substance. Its so cleverly done.
I remember a UK interview with Mariah Carey around that time, who was gushing about the movie and saying how quotable it was. Then she brings out a song called "Obsessed" ('why're you so obsessed with me?!') Pure genius 😂
One of my all time favourite movies❤
Well the book it's "based on" is a self-help book. So the writing quality in this movie is entirely due to the movie's script.
Love you can enjoy any type of movie. This one is great to be a teenager again. 😅❤
Omg yess!! Thank you
Okay love this... Now Fifty Shades of Gray trilogy. It's twilight fan fiction.😊😊😊
My favorite movie!! I never tire of it.
Bro. Those arms. Looking pumped!
Omg Omg Omg Omg AHHHHH IT'S MEAN GIRSLLLL!!! 😝😝😝
I have been watching ur friends reaction, but after this I am definitely subscribing XD
For something completely different, but also with a fabulous screen play, quotable lines, and memorable characters from an excellent cast, I recommend Lone Star (1996).
