Mean Girls 2

• Comedy

A brightly-colored, self-aware comedy focusing on the social intricacies of high school, *Mean Girls 2* unfolds as a re-examination of classic "queen bee" dynamics through a slightly different lens. When confident senior Jo intervenes after witnessing the targeted bullying of a shy new student, Abby, she inadvertently ignites a fresh wave of cattiness within North Shore High. The film isn't about reinventing the wheel, but rather playfully revisiting familiar territory, exploring the performative nature of high school popularity and the anxieties around social acceptance with a knowingly light touch. It's a surprisingly engaging exploration of how easily even well-intentioned interventions can escalate conflict within tightly-knit female hierarchies, leaning into the inherent absurdity of teenage social battles.
