Goofs

It is mentioned that this movie takes place in Ohio and it is mentioned in the first movie that the story takes place in Illinois. However, the name of the school is the same in both movies. Since Ron Duvall is the school principal in both movies, it is very unlikely that Mr. Duvall moved to Ohio and is now principal to a school that happens to have the same name as his previous school.

User Reviews

Good attempt

This is clearly a very good attempt to make a sequel for Mean Girls. They had the right ingredients. Bunch of pretty girls and guys, losers fighting back the status quo, a main character who starts from 0, goes to 10, loses everything to go way back to -10 and then goes back to... 9 'cause she shouldn't have it all, it would be too cliché right?

Anyway, it's not all that bad, but of course it fails to deliver compared to Tina Fey's script for the original Mean Girls. For a comedy, I only laughed a couple of times, so I guess what was missing were some more over the top scenes, everything else is just plain alright.
