HANNAAAHHH CAN YOU REACT TO “TWICE” IN KILLING VOICE PLEASEEEEE😢😢😢😢
I know this might be a bit more adult than your usual content, but could you listen to hazbin hotel songs? They’re really good and I think you would love them. Love the content, thx as always ❤
Pleas react to Journey to belen ncnfkfkf
Can you react to hazbin hotel pls?
Please react to Jessie Murph - If I died last night
the lack of emotion in cadys voice seemed to be a main issue, they totally screwed up stupid with love😭
She could’ve been great if she’s sung in her original accent, but she had to change it to make sense in the movie 😭😭
@@tinytaleahikr 😭😭
I liked it
Exactly! You can totally still have a pop-y sound while showing emotion. I also kinda dislike the mixing but overall it’s still good
See, I loved stupid with love! It immediately gave me "day dreamy, head in the clouds, doodles mrs. aaron samuels all over her calc notebook" vibes
Reneé, Auli’i and Jaquel CARRIED this movie.
fr. i had to question myself mentally when i saw renee-
No, not Renee.
@@needygreedynsleep0 why? What’s so good about her? She’s an overrated chipmunk tbh
@@ChocoBerry_12 YES reneé, and her the most actually
@@justaboringgirl7724IKR, like yes pls-
“You know, I…hated that” made me laugh a lot
Fr😂
Love the honesty XD
I agree about Aaron's character. The hair...no. The vical fry...no. and then him being surprised that Cady is good at math.... YOU'RE IN AN AP CALCULUS CLASS, why was he even in an AP calculus class if he turned out to be bad at math? Cady pretending to be dumb and asking him questions and he's wrong about EVERYTHING 😭
Eh, I was in AP Calc in high school, and I was pretty shit at math. It looks good on college apps idk... (But agreed on everything else)
It’s needs to be a middle part
Especially since she's not a senior and usually it's seniors in an AP Calc class. Juniors usually would take Pre Calc.
@@elisamiller5233if not precalc, juniors would take regular calc right?
Renee in a cast interview said she played Regina like she was hitting on Cady the whole movie. The bi-panic felt real. lol
Tbf in the original while Regina didn’t flirt with cady. She did to lure her into the group with all the false compliments and smoothly trying to build her up to manipulate her further. So her way still worked
No wonder I wanted to date her. 😂😂😂
Makes sense
Heard somewhere that in the book Regina is a lesbian so..
@@jrlombardi5251Queen Bees and Wannabes (the book Mean Girls was based on) is a self-help book and doesnt contain any of the Mean Girls cast, hence why Mean Girls 2004 was loosely based on it
Hannah trying to be not too hard on Angourie Rice's songs is just hilarious
It´s not the actresses fault that the director doesn´t know what their doing. Just because her voice doesn´t fit the character doesn´t mean you have to be mean.
@@silas3842 no she did a terrible job let’s be real like if it were any other career and someone did a bad job building something we’d complain too
@@bleh8712 She wasn't a great fit for the role, yea. Still not the actresses fault.
@@silas3842I actually did think she was a pretty good fit for Cady. Mainly because I had seen her in Honor Society and really loved her performance. She had also gotten really good reviews for being the wise cracking teen in The Nice Guys. I had a lot of faith in her going in and she’s not horrible in the movie. She’s just not memorable. The writers really took her beginning wall flower personality and made it very literal. This Cady has 0 personality and even less of a story arc. Her transition from wallflower to mean girl happens overnight and completely in the background. They could’ve helped her in the vocals a little bit more to. Honestly I think they gave Angourie zero support in leading the film. Give her a meatier script (ahem Tina Fey, I’m looking at you girl) and a director who knows how to make her shine and we probably wouldn’t be having this specific conversation.
well if you go that way, is several fault, cast manager, directors style, direction on how they want it, here change in accent, many other to blame if you go that way@@bleh8712
In the musical, (and arguably just in mean girls period) the whole point is that Cady can convincingly dethrone Regina. And in the musical sense, the Cady has to vocally be just as strong as the Regina. And songs like Roar, Stupid with love. Show that. Like “oh she’s fierce too but just doesn’t know it’ And you don’t get that from Angourie…vocally. She cannot hold a candle to Renee and it sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s unbalanced.
I'll say it again: Sabrina Carpenter would destroy it as Cady speaking vocally - and I'm sure her transition from innocent Cady to plastic Cady would be great too.
p.s.: I know she already played the role on Broadway and that's bc she was my first thought, but I never saw anything with her bc for some reason it's like the footage just didn't exist on the internet. 😕
Agreed. Gretchen was way too weak in this movie as well -- she's supposed to be a fierce contender for Queen Bee in her own right, but her self esteem is trash because Regina always tears her down. I'm a firm believer that the best casting for Cady, Gretchen, and Regina would be actors that could believably play any of these three roles.
@@MM-jf1me agree withyou ad the other comment. They chould have picked some disney stars, girls that can actually sing and act. Sabrina, Dove, Sofia Carson... i don't know any new names, but i'm sure there are other girls that couls be in this movie
I lowkey wish they could have gotten Sabrina Carpenter for Cady. She played it on Broadway and her voice might have delivered more. Plus didn’t they Sabrina and Renee share the broadway stage? that would have been a good call back to that!
She would be good, we know she can act in movies and she can belt
I literally didn't know why they didn't cast her unless she has some problem or don't want to be casted
@@ZidaneKiano she did just release espresso and opened for Taylor in Sydney so maybe she was busy with music and didn’t want to act in it? Idk but I definitely would’ve loved to see Sabrina play Cady in the movie because she has experience with music and you can tell angourie doesn’t have as much experience singing as her cast mates
Sabrina is such an amazing singer and actress, she would’ve done a million times better, no hate to the actress but she lacked so much 😭😭
"Angourie can't pull off both socially awkward Cady and mean girl Cady" is a take I've seen a lot and Sabrina Carpenter could pull off both versions of Cady
The numbers from Mean Girls the Musical require a LOT of vocal strength, and it's just such a mystery why they decided to cast Angourie as Cady!! Her voice simply doesn't fit the belting required for the main character role, and it makes you wonder what sort of directoral choices went into deciding that they'd prefer to change the songs rather than pick a different actress.
i also don’t know why they didn’t just use a different voice / singer / actor to sing the songs because angourie is not vocally strong enough
it confuses me why and how they didn’t cast a singing actor to be angourie’s singing voice 😅
@@HattyBee She was on pitch, and has a pretty tone she can definitely sing. Guys ya'll tryna coming for me when I literally go to a performing art school, this performance from a music theory standpoint is really nothing wrong with it. Ya'll act like she was singing in a different key, like she was singing in a different octave and her voice was unsupported. Just because she decided to sing with a back resonance instead of a front resonance like the original is just the singers preference of handling the music.
It confuses you why they'd use the actual actor to sing in a musical movie? @@mekhigargurevich7248
@@seductiveraven4895she had no emotion tho… cadys character is MEANT to be emotional
My main issue was Cady's really abrupt transition from sweet, innocent Cady into mean girl Cady (which wasn't really convincing). Lindsay Lohan was able to play both so well and her transition to "plastic" was more subtle and gradual, but this actress really only fit the sweet/innocent side to me (even in her clothing, as you mentioned).
yesss i agree with this so much
I liked that montage in the OG where Cady admits that she can't stop talking about Regina, and her hair and makeup gradually gets more girlier. It felt like that was a subtle shift that took months where as the new version just switches Cady up with no warning.
I wouldnt call it entirely an acting thing because they cut like. All the songs i can think of that are part of the transition for the movie
I think that's an issue with the stage musical as well and they just didn't fix it in this adaptation, if you look at Erica Henningson (the OG Cady on broadway) her portrayal it has the same problem
I thought this transition was better actually bc cady actually seemed like she was homeschooled and new to all this and awkward Lindsay’s version she was still so trendy and fashionable and cool at the beginning so i liked how they made her more real in this version and like she was barely even mean in this version just got w the wrong ppl but in the og she was way less forgivable and geniunely horrindously mean
When the primary antagonist is giving "bi-panic" while the main love interest is giving "uuuummmm" then I think it's safe to say the casting team and the writing team were on two different pages.
Regina, Janis, and Damien were definitely the highlights of the movie for me- they had it all: singing, acting, chemistry, and stage presence.
One thing this movie did really well is show that the story isn’t about Cady, it’s about Janice and Regina. Cady was always just the middle-man in their games
I think that's exactly why this movie felt unfocused.
Mean Girls is a fish out of water story first and foremost
tbh the og movie was centered around Cady bc Lindsay was the most popular actress at that time, but in this one Reneé is, so it makes completely sense that it was more focused on Regina.
The way Cady killed any comedic and dramatic momentum every time she showed up on the screen really was criminal. She literally felt like an afterthought the whole movie even though she's a main character and that was such a cruel thing to do to that poor actress lol.
they made it very clear that Regina George was the main character of THIS movie
@@yanimobongo6752 u see, in the promo sure. They made it seem like Regina was going to be the central character but watching the movie, Cady still feels like she's the central character lol. The movie was still mostly in her POV lol. She didnt even share that role with Regina, the other central character was Janis
Yeah It's probably because they removed her monologue because Janis and Damian are now the storyteller which took out a lot of her humor
I can't lie when Aaron Samuels first turned around I was also like wait HE's supposed to be taking our breath away? Like later in the movie his "cuteness" grows on me because he's actually really sweet, but it didn't give the teen heartthrob feeling from the first head turn lol.
Maybe a bit unpopular but I did actually find his really attractive the first time, and he grew on me even more as the movie went on. In a lot of scenes he kinda had a confused stare that made him even cuter lmao
I went to watch it with my friend and she had the same reaction 🤣 but she said it for real, it was hilarious
And he can't even sing like we could've gotten a cute little duet between Cady and Aaron like Stupid With Love Reprise or More is Better 😭😭
@@ZidaneKiano Right! How do you have a whole Mean Girls musical with no number from AARON SAMUELS?! Lol
I don’t know, I think he’s good looking, but they definitely should’ve gotten a different actor because while Christopher is good, he’s not giving me “easily manipulated” vibes 😭
This was Auli'i's ROLE. She was fantastic! She and Damian were a very bright spot in this movie.
When Renee says "Get in loser" with that look.... my entire body shut down
Had me sat
Reallll
that scene had me physically shaking
I passed out
@@fiadabirb1634Y'all need a doctor. Or Jesus. Maybe both.
Poor Angaurie, she said it was really hard to not only sing but then sing in an American accent and I think it probably did a disservice to her vocal ability in the movie
Yeah, since she had to try to sing in a different accent, it would totally cute a lot of the emotions or performance ability. I would dare anybody to try to sing a song that you're just learning, in an accent that not your own and see how it goes.
Ehhh... I don't think the wonky singing and lack of expression when singing was an accent problem.
@@turnipcrazy4602accents usually disappear when artists sing. I don’t think it’s that. I don’t think she’s a horrible singer but when she’s in a cast of people that do sing, especially Reneé singing as a career, it’s hard to match that. Nothing about her, I just think they should have casted someone to match the performance of others
@@sarahjones2541 With certain accents and singers, that's not actually true. I mean even Ed Sherran I can hear english pronunciations for words. Angaurie was a decent singer, but if she didn't grow up really singing, her natural singing voice might have her natural accent.
@@turnipcrazy4602 i agree she’s decent. Idk, I guess it could depend but there’s even times when Ed sounds more American. Like when Adele sings, her accent damn near disappears. I definitely think they should have casted differently for Cady but Angaurie gave it all she had and I can respect that
ok but we need to talk about Auli'i part in Apex Predator when she sings “how can you outsmart”
FR like girl can really sing
sadie sink could’ve killed as cady and this is my roman empire- she’s been on broadway so she can definitely sing and she could’ve brought a lot of ppl to see this movie in theaters
This!
Hannah saying “she’s so hot and so good and singing and I just want her to have everything she wants … who said that” was SO REAL
For me, the thing I love most about musicals is how EXTRA everything is. It's not about having a pretty voice (even though they do), it's about conveying all the emotions with every line.
With 90% of the songs in this movie musical, it felt like they just wanted to show off how pretty their voicals were, and absolutely nothing else. They were afraid to get silly with the vocals or do anything other than sing the exact note.
Choices were definitely made in this movie...
EXACTLYYY! A lot of the time in musicals to portray extra emotions is to talk a certain line, like how Cady does in the musical "And being kenyan he ran fast" in the movie shes just like -_- following all the notes but not doing anything fun, also they barely gave her any slightly high notes which is so ridiculous. I will never forgive them for someone gets hurt, they removed all the best parts 😭😭
That and casting a guy who couldn't sing as Aaron were Choices. Also felt like the plastics and Janice could've been meaner.
@@TheEmerald97it basically made him feel like he wasn’t in the movie at all. lol. Extremely forgettable
The "I've been filming for an hour and I've only watched 17 minutes of this movie" got me. 😂
the plastics, damien and janis, pretty much everyone but cady slayed
SHE IS LITERALLY THINKING EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT WITH THE CALCULUST LINE
Hi Angel :O
Side note, I actually really want Hannah to react to Hazbin Hotel songs lol
I appreciate that you’re not laying blame on Angourie for Cady’s singing, because she didn’t arrange the music or direct herself or any of that.
exactly, it was really sad to see all the hate on her when the movie first came out
That poor mother; all she wanted was to have a conversation with her daughter and she goes off singing while she runs away from her *smh*
Not every argument I’ve ever had with my mother
i said this in some other comments section but my personal problem is how they had EVERY singing character be an absolute powerhouse except the protagonist .........
also not to be this person but anjourie is a nepo baby so it's kinda extra infuriating
i saw someone say that this movie gets a lot better when you realize it was a movie made by weird high school art kids. and its true
I think that the biggest musical mistake made in this movie was that they didn’t allow the actors to express the emotions of the musical characters. It seems to me that they were trying to focus too much on the actors and pushing a “modern” take on this movie rather than the musical.
Fr
"I changed my mind I don't like her shirt" you're so real for that, worst outfit she wears in the whole movie
LMAO
I don't even blame Hannah -- that top is a strong choice while seated, but not the most awful thing ever, but when it's apparent that it has a faux built-in corset: 🤮
REMEMBERING HANNAH IS BI MAKES ALL THE RENEE REACTION SCENES SO MUCH BETTER
Your reaction to when cady was singing in the hallway I’m dead 💀 that’s how I was when I watched it too
Lmao I enjoyed Revenge Party, but that part sucked 😂
My recommendation when people want to watch this movie is to just “not think about anything, shut down your mind and just enjoy renee” and it works wonders! They enjoy it a lot more
I actually enjoy the movie a lot i'm not saying it was perfect but It was a fun time and i think people often forget that's the whole point of watching a movie people are too busy looking for flaws to try to enjoy it
If I close my eyes and think Renee all I can think of is the Hertz employee she threatened for no reason other than the fact she’s an abusive toxic cvnt
@@rydbthatsme sure jan
I honestly think that a different Cady casting or a different direction for Cady would have elevated the movie so much
i think both
Oh 1000%
YESSS thank you!!! I 100% agree on Aaron, he was not giving me heartthrob at all and that first scene was so cringe, like what were they thinking. I too hated how dumb they made Karen in this movie and the vacant bug-eyed stare was just an extra layer of awfulness. I completely agree that she doesn’t seem dumb she genuinely seemed like she’d had a traumatic head injury or was on some very heavy drugs.
Something we should all keep in mind... there is nothing to blame Angourie Rice for. She cannot play the role, obviously, but that is 100% on whoever cast her. Somebody said "do you want to accept this money and opportunity?" I am an old man and I would have signed on to play Cady in a heartbeat if some lunatic handed me the contract. It is NOT HER RESPONSIBILITY to say "I'm not very good and would ruin your movie." It is her job to be confident and positive and believe in the project. Peter O'Toole destroyed three very expensive Hollywood musicals because he could not sing a note but idiots kept handing him the contracts. Not his fault. Great actor, not a singer -- but important people kept telling him he was exactly what they wanted in order to make these musicals suceed. And his job was to do his best, which he did.
(My Fair Lady was a huge hit with Rex Harrison talk-singing so people assumed any British actor could do musicals. Man of La Mancha is almost operatic... talk-singing The Impossible Dream is like Jack Webb's rendition of Try a Little Tenderness. Check the Webb track out. It will change your life... but not nessecarily for the better.)
The fact that they set up the shot of Cady seeing Regina for the first time to seem like she was in love with Regina but then it went nowhere bothers me
and it honestly could’ve been such a cool plot point like she hates her because she’s in love with her but could never have her?
@@CAM-sf9yy Exactly
Yes! Reneé said she and Angourie would ore tend to kiss all the time on set. And in the credits, Regina kisses Cady on the forehead!
Renee has said on multiple occasions that she plays Regina like she’s in love with Cady and that makes a lot of sense.
I big thing I noticed in the movie was no one ever finished their song. Most of the time it was quickly interrupted. In musicals you sing your song it the big ending note, then there is a beat where the person kinda takes their moment then the show starts up again. No one got to take a moment in the movie. It was always interrupted by something, most often a bus
It honestly feels like Hollywood these days think that musicals are uncool, bad or weird and if you’re making a musical you need to can’t advertise that it is a musical because then people might not want to see it, and make it self aware of the fact that it’s a musical and for the musical numbers to ‘make sense’ as it were. If you look in the background of certain music numbers you can see people playing instruments as if that’s supposed to explain the sudden music and people singing out of nowhere. Same with the type of jokes that poke fun at it being a musical at all, like when that one girl makes a reference to Revenge Party during the apology scene. You’re not funny or clever, it’s just cringe-worthy.
And to me, this is a major sign of insecurity. Like the people making this movie was so ashamed or embarrassed to be making a musical that they need to poke fun at their own movie if that somehow justifies it being a musical. As well as pop-ify the soundtrack and remove as much of the musical theater aspects of the movie and story so it will be more appealing to the audience you want to watch the movie. Same goes for the fashion btw, but not my point.
Just let it be a musical, and if you’re not comfortable or into making a musical movie, don’t make one!
@@Kamechan98yes yes and yes!!! they tried to hide the fact that it was a musical movie the whole f-time. so annoying 🙄
My husband and I have now made a full on bit of "I'm astounded and nonplussed". 😆 When we have to do something that we really don't want to do, we just deadpan into the void while singing that line.
i felt so mean while watching this because i was SO hard on angourie. i physically could not change my face from a mild look of disgust and confusion during stupid with love and hannah's reaction makes me feel so justified. she is trying JUST AS HARD as i was to be as nice as possible 💀
The "hello fellow kids"ness of the tiktok dancing in stupid with love is physically painful. This movie is so self-conscious
Uh ok
This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. One one hand, I can see its flaws. On the other, it had some HILARIOUS moments and Renee, Auli'i, Jaquel and Avantika carried the whole film and I adore them for it.
This is the life philosophy about the movie that keeps me going. It's disappointing at parts, amazing in others. Not the end of the world; just means I only have a handful of the soundtrack songs on my rotation instead of the whole thing. ❤ 🤷♂️
Taking movies like this too seriously is going to always be a let down. They're supposed to be fun and campy, not something to be ripped apart for every minor issue.
@@darlinggypsumme rn omg someone understands
Janice and Damien break the 4th wall by looking at the camera in the very first classroom scene. It's subtle, but you have to be watching for it.
“That hair’s not that big.”
THANK YOU
Watching people have the realisation that Aaron Samuels is not that hot meanwhile I had the same opinion in the 2004 mean girls…in fact, I’d argue that no iteration of Aaron Samuels has ever given me that…jaw-drop feeling you know
Yes exactly!!
Tbh I thought the one in 2004 was really cute.. I would have 100% had a crush on him if I were Cady
Kyle Selig, the original Aaron on Broadway is IMO very handsome and has a beautiful singing voice
I have to agree! None of the Aarons are in my mind head when I think of someone hot. I never thought the 2004 Aaron (nor the actor) was hot. However I do think Chris Briney was real fine in the Summer I turned pretty. Idk what it is? The hair? The outfits? The fact that sometimes he only has swimshorts on lol? No clue but team Conrad forever and always!!
@@liliphdr Yes team Conrad!! Haha I’m so ready for season 3
No but Hannah’s face every time angourie started singing 😂😂 she
I think (based on ur comment about them looking into the camera) that Damian and Janice were meant to be the narrators of the story so that’s why they broke the 4th wall so much
Fr they did that a lot more in the original play, when they would turn to the audience and start talking. I guess that’s why I wasn’t bothered by the 4th wall being broken that much 😂
I think a great show that Hannah should react to is Hazbin hotel. Keith David, Jessica Vosk, Jeremy Jordan, Stephanie Beatrice, etc the cast and sings are soo good
can u believe Avantica (she played karen) was 18 during recording???
yes
So young and still they want to promote the sexualization of CHILDREN
Revenge Party has the best moment with Cady deciding to do revenge on Regina…we didn’t get that emotion here and it really bothers me. It’s SUCH a good song from the musical and they did it dirty
Agree!!!!
"Singing in cursive" I have never heard someone describe it like that and I really like it. I'm going to use that from now on
It's giving movie adaptation Les Mis and Westside Story. I don't understand why they seem to consistently have at least one or two main cast members just not have the chops required for a Broadway musical.
Ps: I absolutely love and thrive off Hannah's reactions.
Starting the movie with Auli'i singing was the best decision ever. I died there. (I know the Broadway musical starts like this before, but watching Auli'i as Janis was something else!)
And the guitar?! Gotta love someone singing while playing the guitar (fun fact: Auli'i learned to play guitar for this role)
Can’t wait to see Hannah Bi-panic over Reneé Rapp.
Edit: Yes I agree with the stupid in love criticism.
19:52 Reneé said she viewed Regina as lesbian and played her as such even if it wasn’t written that way. So the hummer kind of makes sense to me? So many things read as sapphic. Her flirty demeanor towards Cady, the updated R necklace that is half pearls and half a chain (said to be done to give a more androgynous vibe) and all of her wardrobe. Her carrying around the pride pin plush under the guise of “allyship” and her still pursuing Aaron and Shane gives me closeted girl experience comphet
Concerning the “Revenge Party” costumes, it’s still Halloween! Hes dressed like a vampire magician from an old times show. My theory is that Janice looks Easter-y because a second before she’s wearing a creepy bunny mask when they are recounting the Regina/Janice feud. ❤️
"i am in love with renee rapp so bad- WHO SAID THAT????" - Hannah in summary
Reneé and Auli’i carried. I loved the movie for what it was and will absolutely be watching again😂
I personally think the Cady casting was spot on for everything but singing, but that’s only because they had such powerful voices in the movie that the main character couldn’t keep up vocally but I loved it
You are genuinely one of my favorite people on the internet rn. I've been binge watching all of your videos, not only are you good at what you do, you also have a great sense of humour (and you're SO pretty too) 🥰🫶💞
Agreed 100% literally same 😭😫
Hannah you gotta let the hair go 😂😂😂 don’t let Ben haunt you it’s been 5 years sister 😭😭
Wait. What do you mean? What happened?
Has it been 5 years… holy shit
@@louisebalbin9787 HANNAH has done reactions on Disneys Descendants franchise movies 1-3 and each movie she has vocally expressed her hate for one of the main characters Ben’s hair and in mean girls the new adaptation not only does the actor who plays Aaron kind of looks like Ben but has almost an identical version of the hair style 😂😂😂😂
@@thezivzumbo6710 I just checked it’s been like 3 years since she’s started reacting to the movies but it’s been 5 years since the first descendants movie 💀 but still she’ll never let it go 😂😂😂
@@christianmeriweather4925 5 years? It's almost been 9 years since the first movie 😭
all of the publicity and trailers made it seem like a remake of the original, with absolutely no musical preview
I mean… it always ended with Mean Girls “THE MUSICAL” 🤷🏻♀️
Right!!!! I had no clue
@@catherinebugdenthe musical note in the title didn't give it away?
haha "ABSOLUTELY NOT your mother's mean girls (but basically exactly your mother's mean girls"
They knew they did the music dirty so they hid the music.
Hannah I am BEGGING you to react to epic the musical. The vocals in it are genuinely amazing and I would really love to see you explain exactly what they do that's so great!!
I really like how Hannah is not saying she is a bad singer, and instead why it just does not fit with the theme. Thank you Hannah!
Renee rapp was the best part of this film!
💯 Agree ❤
I saw someone say this and I agree Renee her play of Regina was straight to your face rude while Rachel/original Regina was more talk behind your back and seem nice but is actually “evil”.
I’ve been watching some of Hannah’s old videos recently and she seems so much more comfortable now. I love her so much 🥺🫶🏼💜
Yes!!! 32:57 this movie was just filled with elf products and they didn’t even try to make it look casual 😭😂
The bi panic is so real. Also Janise and Damien sounded incredible
I LITERALLY JUMPED ON THE NOTIF YELLING YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO
SAME!!
Me too!!
Your hair is everything! So pretty.
Multiple points in this reaction made me laugh out loud but your face dropping so fast during the Cady close up in revenge party with the hard cut to “oh Christ” from Cats 😅😂 that really got me
BLINK KAREN BLINK DAMMIT
Also the backpack backstory was SO convoluted and Revenge Party was a Lisa Frank shroom trip.
Girl, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUU! Ure the only one I trust in judging this movie, music-wise.
I've seen Angourie Rice in a bunch of stuff. She's good but she always makes safe acting choices. Maybe because she is young and still learning. Her voice is ok but not right for the role. She definitely sounded better than what I've heard previously. She shouldn't be getting all the hate. A lot of it is directing too. And they could have given her more tools to be even more successful. Seemed more like stunt casting to me. They wanted a bigger name when there are so many people that couod have played Cady. Everyone else was great. Some of the writing was trying too hard and then fell flat. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but they could have done more.
Ok but Regina, Janis and Damian, Gretchen and ofc Karen’s actors were so talented 😭😭 I blame the script 😭
Hey hannah! you should 100% react to the hazbin hotel songs! most of the cast has Broadway backgrounds! (Plus jeremy jordan and darren criss makes it worth it)
I love watching your reacts, and i love the hazbin + helluva boss songs! :)
Please don't hate me, but I thought that while Renee sounded great, her diction was a real issue sometimes. In musical theatre the song carries the story and it can be struggle to follow it if you can't make out all the words. It's like Arianna Grande, she sounds incredible, but I worry about her diction for musical theatre style. I would be interested to know if anyone else thinks about the diction as much? Loved her voice though!
Fr! Don’t get me wrong she sounded AMAZING, but there were times where I couldn’t understand what she had said
I felt the same. I hate musicals where you can’t hear the words being sung.
Renee is the best part of the whole movie by far
I am a Mean Girls Musical freak. I’ve seen all the bootlegs with almost every cast. This Cady killed me. Besides not having the power or drama- she never once put a V on the end of “love.” She was “stupid with luw.”
THANK YOU ABOUT KAREN! They made her FAR too dumb in this movie
FR! The girl is super talented, she killed the “Sexy” routine, but she was acting just wayy too dumb
I love how she analyses the music but also the movie overall
This movie hurt me personally, but Renee and Auli'i saved it tbh
Btw, you should react to Hazbin Hotel! The songs are great and it's got a Broadway cast with Erika Henningsen, Alex Brightman, Jeremy Jordan and so many other Broadway stars!
HANNAHHH I SQUEALED AT THE NOTIF😍 i think cadys emotionsless voice was the main issue in this musical😭 coming from a theatre kid who LOVES the broadway vers😉
SO exciting!!!! We are here for it!!!!
easily one of my favorite videos of yours. thanks for the great videos, looking forward to more :)
this movie almost makes me wish i could erase the original mean girls musical from my memory so that i wouldn't have to be pissed off about all the parts they got wrong
Same 😅😱
Speaking of Erika Henningsen...you should definitely react to Hazbin Hotel!!!
“ she’s in love with her” me too girl me too
I totally agree with you, everything you said is what my opinions were whilst watching it! I don't mind the direct eye contact into the camera though, it gives the songs a music video quality, and I think that is more successful than just randomly breaking into song, like they did in the Dear Evan Hanson movie.
I watched this movie purely for Reneé Rapp and I was not disappointed by her, god that woman is stunning and great. Were there parts I cringed at? Yup. Am I ignoring those? Also yes. (And yeah the gay panic is real lmao and on Reneé's part definitely intentional)
The original movie was cringe though why not make the musical cringe
HUGE mean girls musical fan here -- I've seen it a bunch and I've watched both movies a bunch.
love angourie as cady, but maybe not vocally. she has a beautiful voice, but not the best fit for the role because most of her energy was going into the American accent. would love to see her in another musical role, where she can really shine as herself and maybe with less pressure.
bebe has a nice voice as well and i need her to be in another musical role so we can actually hear it!
reneé, avantika, auli'i, jaquel, and everyone else did a great job and were cast very well for their roles! (and yes, they made karen too dumb.. it worked sometimes but not always)
revenge party is strange, but its cool that they tried to make it a dream-like sequence (and they brought back cut lyrics!)
(honestly could put my whole letterboxd review here, but this is a small summary of relevant bits to this video)
28:58 NOOOOOOOOO
The auto tune in "hair" and "cow" is the worst thing my ears have ever beheld.
I felt that at the first movie and at the musical, Cady was the lead. At this one, she was nhe whike Regina gained the focus. It bothered me a lot since I love Erika's voice at the musical
Some of the things I love about Hannah's reactions is how she knows what she wants, so if she doesn't like something but she ends up liking a part of it later on she'll say she does, she admits to it and stays honest unlike most reactors where if they don't like one thing, they don't like everything
Same! She can find strengths in subpar performances but isn’t afraid to point out weaknesses too. Because a lot of this movie ISNT bad, it’s just bad casting for some roles and a fundamental misunderstanding of how and why the original musical works.
Stupid With Love is honestly one of my favourite songs from the original musical. I was flabbergasted when I heard it in the new movie. They went against everything the song stands for. It’s supposed to be overwhelming and dramatic and over the top. Cady is meant to sound kind of breathy near the end, and they took it all away
15:00 I’m astounded and nonplussed 🧍♀️
Also why TF are all the songs so heavily autotuned?! It hurts 😭
Janice was absolutely incredible, in the scene where she was sing screaming at cady, she made me think of good for you in dear evan hansen, flawless
Not me screaming MY NAME IS REGINA GEORGE AND IN CASE YOURE KEEPING SCORE....🤭😫
