    The trailer doesn't make this clear, but if I understand correctly this is not a remake of the movie, but a movie adaptation of the Mean Girls Broadway musical. As someone who really likes the original movie, and hasn't seen the musical, this probably isn't for me but perhaps it'll be popular among the fans of the Broadway show.

    Seems like the studio doesn't have a lot of faith in it: Releasing it in January; not acknowledging that is based on the musical, and relying heavily on nostalgia to advertise the movie.

    The original is for sure one of my comfort movies - I've seen it countless times and I never grow tired of it.

    I'm cautiously optimistic this will be a good reboot/reimagining (as a musical, IIRC?). Tina Fey's involvement gives me confidence.
