Mean Girls makes changes to the original ending.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary 20 years after the original film, a musical movie adaptation of Mean Girls was released, providing a new twist to the 2004 classic and making some ending changes. Mean Girls was first adapted into a popular musical for the Broadway stage in 2017. This has translated into positive reviews for the Mean Girls musical film due to the fun musical numbers, popular source material, and strong performances.
When Cady is named Spring Fling Queen in Mean Girls, it’s against different competition. In the original movie, Damian snuck Janis into the group of nominees, whereas in the musical, Karen is nominated alongside her fellow Plastics. This wasn’t the only change made to Janis’ character in Mean Girls 2024.
Fey didn’t just update the script to reflect today’s society, she wanted to teach some lessons as well. In 2017, while preparing for the Broadway musical, Fey appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers. She told a story about her five-year-old daughter getting the wrong messages from Mean Girls, despite it being “positive at its core.” This could have inspired her to emphasize this positivity in Mean Girls 2024 by adding certain apologies and having everyone get along and not just co-exist.
Cady had learned her lesson from her time with The Plastics and didn’t want to compete with other girls anymore. However, Lohan as the host reminds her that she’s actually taking part in a competition, which she wins for North Shore. She may not have played her original character like Tina Fey and Tim Meadows, but Lohan's cameo is a nice nod to 2004’s Mean Girls film and her contributions to the classic.
The original Mean Girls movie had a sequel, Mean Girls 2, which was released in 2011 as a standalone TV movie. It shared the setting of North Shore High and followed a similar plot formula, with a new girl transferring to the school and encountering The Plastics, leading her to start her own clique, The Anti-Plastics. It was ill-received and deemed an unnecessary sequel that paled in comparison to the original.
On its surface, the lyrics of “I See Stars” are about how everyone is a star. She sings to them, “You shine as bright as day / I will look out for you / We’ll light each other’s way / You’re all stars.” Yet, earlier in Mean Girls 2024, Cady spoke about missing the stars she would see at night in Africa – in the Broadway musical, this was the subject of the song “More Is Better.
