What We Think

The 2024 'Mean Girls' is all-in on the woke remake formula, dialing up inclusion and ideology while watering down the original's clever bite. Traditional norms are gently ribbed or left in the dust, leaving little room for anything but a single, very modern perspective.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The 2024 'Mean Girls' leans heavily into updated identity themes, often prioritizing diverse casting and messaging about inclusion over nuanced character development. Several roles seem reimagined more for representation checkboxes than storyline necessity, which can feel forced and distract from the original’s punchy satire.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

This reboot takes plenty of jabs at traditional high school archetypes, especially masculinity and older moral norms, playing them for awkwardness or irrelevance. Family roles are largely sidelined or played for laughs, and religious or conventional values are barely acknowledged, appearing slightly out-of-touch.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Nearly every character, aside from the “villains,” reflects the same modern progressive worldview, with little room for dissenting perspectives or genuine debate. Any alternative viewpoints are briefly acknowledged, usually as a punchline or to mock outmoded attitudes.
