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.
