In 2024, a musical movie adaptation of “Mean Girls” was released, but it was not well-received and was deemed an unnecessary sequel that paled in comparison to the original. The story in “Mean Girls” is self-contained, so there is no need for a sequel. The movie has taught valuable lessons about being true to oneself, treating people with kindness, and the importance of being authentic.
