"Mean Girls 2" should probably have had another title, because it really had something to live up to as the first "Mean Girls" movie was somewhat nice. "Mean Girls 2" wasn't bad, but it was just a far shot from the original movie.

The story told in "Mean Girls 2" was very easy to follow and it was quite straight forward. However, there was just something missing from the storyline, something to give the movie more depth. The end result of the story made the movie look like a shallow husk of what it could have been. And basically it was more Jo that was mean, and not the "plastics".

The cast, like the first "Mean Girls" movie, was quite good, as for teenage casting goes. Meaghan Martin, playing Jo Mitchell, sure had a lot to live up to as the lead of the movie, because Lindsay Lohan sure made her role memorable in the first "Mean Girls". Meaghan was actually doing a good job, but there was a gap between her and Lohan's performance. The other cast members were doing their roles well enough. But bear in mind that this is a teen comedy, so there is no award-winning performances.

There were some funny scenes throughout the movie, but nothing that would make you keel over laughing hard. And there were also some nice moments in the movie, such as when Jo had to face up to Abby (played by Jennifer Stone). And some of the pranks pulled in the movie were also nice enough.

In overall, "Mean Girls 2" is not a bad movie, but it is far from what the first "Mean Girls" was. And had this movie been named differently I am sure it would have fared better. It proved to be good enough entertainment, just don't get your hopes up based on the name of the movie.

I love the first Mean Girls, it was funny, cool, dark and very well-acted. I would go as far to say that it was my personal favourite Lindsay Lohan movie. This made-for-TV sequel was a mess, not just as a sequel but on its own terms. Comparing it to the first Mean Girls, this film feels nothing like the original, so much has changed not just in the cast but also in the little things and in terms of consistency too.

When it comes to the acting, only Tim Meadows and Jennifer Stone acquit themselves well. Maeghan Martin's acting is awful and very forced and Maiara Walsh is far too subtle to be believable. Add to that a depressingly predictable story, terrible dialogue and humour, rushed pacing, (bad) sit-com-ish production values, generic soundtrack and a far too obvious conclusion and you have a poor film overall. And did I mention the amateurish direction and shallow characters as well? So all in all, a messy film not just as a sequel to a fun film but on its own merits too. 1/10 Bethany Cox

When I heard there was going to be a Mean Girls 2, I was absolutely thrilled, Mean Girls is one of my all time favourite movies. I completely expected Mean Girls 2 to be worse than Mean Girls. So, especially after seeing the dreadful trailer, I didn't really have that high expectations for it.

I'm not picky when it comes to films, but I can honestly say this was one of the worst films I have ever seen.

The acting was terrible, painful at some parts. The attempts at humour were pitiful, the only time I laughed was when I laughed at how awful it was. The plot wasn't too bad, but naming it "Mean Girls 2" just ruined it for me.

If you haven't seen Mean Girls, then you might be able to stand watching Mean Girls 2, since then you won't be able to see the huge difference of quality between the two. But to be honest, I wouldn't recommend anyone to waste 1 hour and 36 minutes on this film.

Some TV films are actually great, but this was just GREATLY disappointing.

The trailer as well the cast list, gave me a clue about how terrible it was going to be, but I wanted to give it a chance because the first one is a stand out classic. You can tell Tina Fey did NOT have anything to do with this un'fetch'ing waste of time film, which is unworthy of being associated any where near Mean Girls.

The girls in this film, were vile, not mean. It seemed more like real life bullying, rather than physical and verbal comedy...and the amount of scenes they had with a bunch of extras laughing at someone who had been hurt was painful.

The main difference from the first film is that the main character has some guts, and starts a new group called the 'anti plastics', which she describes as an 'unoriginal name'...and she couldn't have been more accurate. It was a complete re hash of the first film, but without any originality.

I found it hard to laugh at anything,and I don't even want to get started on the character who tried to copy Karen from the first film. Instead of being funny and cute, she came across as plain stupid and possibly challenged.

1/10 from me, and if Lindsay Lohan or anyone from the original cast see this film..I hope it doesn't put them in A & E.

MEAN GIRLS 2 – TRASH IT ( D ) Can someone still can do the honor and just remove the means girls title from this atrocious movie. This was nothing like the classic Mean Girl movie, which literally made Lindsay Lohan, and added an additional boost to Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Tina Fey's career. When everything thought Mean Girl is just another teen movie, it come out to be something smart, sharp and edgy. Comparing to the original, this movie lacks in every department. From production, to direction to writing, to acting. It won't be wrong to say that this was the worst tween movie I have seen in recent time counting all the tween ABC Family movies as well. The Entire young cast Meaghan Martin, Jennifer Stone, Maiara Walsh, Nicole Gale Anderson, Claire Holt, Amber Wallace, Bethany Anne Lind, Diego Boneta, Colin Dennard and Patrick Johnson are average performers in it. Overall, trash this garbage, which is not remotely close to the Original Mean Girls.

My only problem with this movie is calling it "Mean Girls 2" like what the hell? who gave them the right to name it like that, it's not even close to the original, also the acting of those teens is weak tbh, it's just an okay high school comedy to watch in a good day.

It was kinda good but yeah the idea was old but it was good to

Mean girls was a classic, hilarious, and one of the best comedy's of this generation. Mean girls 2 just f*cking sucked!! No joke. There has been some bad sequels, but this is one of the worst. If it were its own movie with a different name, then maybe it would have been OK. But since it was compared to the first... This movie wasn't funny! It was a little kids, preteen movie. I loved the first one and I wanted to like this movie, but its just not possible. It comes no where close to touching the first! The acting was decent. The " meanest girl" was OK, but Regina was the best! I didn't like the fact that it was turned into a clean, cheesy, Disney movie. With stars like Jennifer Stone ( Wizards of Waverly Place), Meaghan Martin ( Camp Rock), and more. IF you watched the new one without watching the original and liked it, then you need to watch it ASAP!!! Iam just gonna take my original and pretend like this never existed. THIS IS NOT FETCH!

This movie was hilarious, in the sense that it was laughably horrible. It was the typical teenage girl movie that was disgustingly predictable and honestly the only reason why I sat through the whole thing, was that it had me laughing the entire time at how bad it was. It's depiction of high school was incredibly unrealistic, the acting was mediocre, the plot was unoriginal, the jokes were pathetic; it was just so awful. Basically, this was just a Disney Channel movie with some cursing. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as Mean Girls or anything but I was hoping for something at least more respectable than this. This movie was baaaaaaaaad.

After moving to a new school Jo (Martin) finds the "Plastics" and soon realizes how evil they can be. When Jo stands up for Abby (Stone) at school, Abby's dad offers to pay for her college (which her dad can't afford) if she will be Abby's friend. I will start by saying I thought the first one was really funny. Tim Meadows is the only returning cast member from the original, and the best part of the movie. This one took everything that was funny and great about the first one and replaced it with the "New Plastics" just being evil. Not like first mean girl mean, but out right evil! There were a few scenes that made me chuckle but overall I felt bad for everyone in the school. If this is how high school girls really act now, private or home school is the way to go. I also think I am probably 20 years to old to fully relate, and a guy, so I did not enjoy it. No big surprises here, very predictable and not very funny. It does have the obligatory "Saved by the bell" story arc and ending. Evil, evil girls, decent message. I give it a C.

Would I watch it again? - Only if you paid me ($20 minimum)

I really wish I could give fewer stars.

This film literally has nothing to to do with the original, and it is so unfunny with awful characters and an even worse plot.

I literally feel bad for Tina Fey because of this.

It doesn't even get a grade, it's that bad.

Omg, this movie was TERRIBLE! Just happened to catch it on TV and all I can say is "Wow...really?" With a script and storyline that bad why did they even bother? Can't say enough bad about it. Didn't even crack a smile once while watching it. During filming someone should have stopped and said, "Yeah this is absolute garbage, we shouldn't do this." haha Soooooooooooo not worth watching! *shudders*

No connection to the original, don't know how this is considered a comedy, the acting was pathetic... I'm surprised Tim Meadows signed on to be a part of such a poorly made film. If you plan on this being a funny, clever follow-up to the first Mean Girls you will be disappointed. Seven years between films and this is the best they could come up with? So pitiful.

This film tells the story of a new female student in high schol who befriends a social reject, and subsequently start a war with the Plastics who rule the high school social pecking order.

"Mean Girls 2" has an entirely different cast, but it preserves the meanness and hilarity of the first film. I do like the way the new female student is so different from the female stereotype, yet still emanates feminity in her own way. The addition of a step brother on the Plastics side adds a good plot point as well, because he's turn between the two campus. The war that goes on between her and the Plastics is a lot of fun to watch as usual, and of course the story has a very satisfactory ending. I really enjoyed watching "Mean Girls 2".

The first movie was a slightly-above-average teen drama comedy. This is pretty much the same thing. I don't understand all the obsession over these movies. They're ok movies. They're not that great. Watch them if you like this stupid genre of movies following unlikable white girls in high school. If that brand of cheap comedy doesn't appeal to you, then don't watch. I wouldn't recommend either movies, but the first one is slightly better.

I could not believe that I took the time out of my life to watch this film. It was so horrid that I'm embarrassed for its actors, creators, and anyone whose had the misfortune of watching it.

For starters, the plot was bad, overused, and absolutely predictable. A new loner, "misfit" girl who comes to a school and is immediately hated by people and this film's version of "The Plastics" meets another loner, "misfit" girl. Together they form the "anti-Plastics" a group that recruits members to try and get revenge for all of the people that were ever mistreated by the plastics. Soon after, the anti-Plastics become just as cruel and the plastics which soon causes troubles and breaks relationships. Very original, isn't it?

The entire film was full of bad clichés and stereotypes. The main character Jo (Meaghan Jette Martin) was poorly developed. As the new girl, she wore plaid shirts and skinny jeans and rode a little red moped which gave her the title as the new bad ass, punk rock, biker chick. Isn't she just the coolest? Martin's acting was plain awful as it was forced and her voice was annoying. The manner in which she played the "innocent but mistreated new girl that deserves revenge" was not believable. It was nearly impossible to feel any sympathy for her. Many of the other characters' acting was poor as well. The two side Plastics, Hope (Nicole Anderson) and Chastity (Claire Holt), were given ridiculous characters. They weren't important to the plot in any way, and seemed to only be thrown into the movie to reprise the Plastic trio. The only person I can say that did a decent job was Jennifer Stone, who played Abby.

The stunts and jokes that were pulled were so predictable and sad. I could see them coming from a mile away. You already knew the end of the movie 45 minutes before it happened. There was nothing comedic, dramatic, or generally entertaining about this film. The mention of sex and skimpy outfits had to be thrown in every 30 seconds as a failed attempt to sell this movie to the newer generation of teens. It embarrasses me to even think that this was supposed to be a sequel to the original Mean Girls, one of my most favorite movies.

Yes, it's kind of a dumb movie with a lot of clichés and subpar acting. However, it's really funny is you are h*gh as a kite on the lettuce.

Johanna "Jo" Mitchell is a high school freshman who lives with her father, a race car driver. She starts her last year of school with just one rule: avoid female conflicts. After realizing that young Abby is suffering at the hands of the school's "queen bee", she decides to put everything on the line and face the mean girls.

After a clique of girls makes life difficult, a new student (Meaghan Martin) forms a rival group to take control of the school's hallways.

The adventures of Jo, a 17-year-old girl, who has just arrived at her new school. Jo will become friends with two girls and together they will face the most popular girls at school: the Plastic Girls.

Failed attempt to be a successful remake, just cool... I sympathized with Jennifer Stone's cuteness, the judge...

This movie was causing me mental, physical and emotional anguish and pain. I couldn't wait for it to be over, just like my life.

If you want to experience a splitting headache just bang your head against the wall, it's a better use of time.

Mean Girls 2 reminds me of another poor quality sequel that I watched recently; Dream a Little Dream 2. The similarities are so vast, you could do a compare/contrast project for school on it. Both were released six years after their predecessors, both don't include many, roughly any actors from the first, both are low budget, and both are Direct-to-DVD. I'm surprised the DVD of MG2 doesn't include a preview of DALD2. It would be so fitting.

The original Mean Girls was just seen by me a few months back. In my review I stated "In terms of a teenage high school film, this was almost perfect. Its been a while since we saw a teen movie done well. With garbage like She's the Man, John Tucker Must Die, and other failed experiments gone wrong this was a breath of fresh air to see one done well." Looking back, it was a fantastic film. Just a few minor things prevented a perfect review. Now, the original Mean Girls has something even worse than a seventeen year old getting a zit in plain site; a lukewarm, poor sequel that branches off of the film.

The plot: Jo Mitchell (Martin) is a High School Senoir victim to her father's profession because she changes schools twice a year. She settles down her final High School year at North Shore High School, and has her heart set on Carnegie Mellon University. During her High School year she finds "The Plastics", the bossy bitches of school who make everyone else feel unappreciated while they live it up.

Along the way, Jo meets the outcast Abby (Stone). Abby has almost no friends, and upon arrival to her house one day, Jo is faced with a clean cut deal from her rich father where he offers her $4,000 for College to be Abby's friend through Senoir year. A shocking, but rewarding deal. Jo accepts.

Jo then turns down an offer of hanging out with Plastic leader Mandi (Walsh), and is now on the chopping block. Mandi witnesses Jo hanging with Abby and is shocked. Mandi makes Jo's life a living hell. Whats her plan? Well, Jo must've read an old year book about Lindsay Lohan's encounter with The Plastics because she does just what Cady did in the original; she tries to bring The Plastics down.

The rest goes as "The Big Book of High School Teenage Movie Clichés" says. Things start out good, go bad, then end good and happy. This shouldn't even be related to the original near-masterpiece Mean Girls was. It's just a poorly made television remake of a great film. It should've been called In the Race (anyone who's seen it will get the joke).

Meaghan Martin (Jo Mitchell) is Tess from the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock. Oddly enough, in Camp Rock, Meaghan played the girl she is trying to avoid in this film. She sets such an image for herself in that movie, and it's awkward seeing her in the role of the protagonist. Still, she could be replaced with Lindsay Lohan and it wouldn't change the lackluster script or inevitable low budget sequel feel this one currently possess.

The wit is also lost too. In the original film Mean Girls almost revolved around the way the girls spoke to each other. Whether waving their hips or making some sort of uncalled for comment, the girls showed no mercy and were hysterical. Jo drops some fair lines, but pretty much the whole wit-filled one liners were missing. I loved that stuff, where'd it go? Down the tubes along with the idea for a sequel to film that is 100% on it's own.

What a shame Mean Girls 2 doesn't live up to it's name. Instead it curses the franchise by adding an unnecessary "2" in the title. All it is is a remake of a film that doesn't need a damn sequel. It's clearly just a money hungry movie that doesn't care the reception it gets. Just as long as it makes a respectable profit.

Starring: Meaghan Martin, Jennifer Stone, Nicole Anderson, Maiara Walsh, Claire Holt, and Diego González. Directed by: Melanie Mayron.

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.
