Quick Answer: Movie tickets to the reboot can be purchased via Fandango, and the original can be streamed online via Prime Video and Paramount+.
It’s been nearly two decades since Aaron Samuels asked Cady Heron what day it was in the original Mean Girls premier. “It’s October 3,” Lindsay Lohan‘s character famously answered. Written by and starring Tina Fey, the film — now streaming online — became a hit at the box office and ultimately earned its spot as a teen movie cult classic.
“While the portrayal of popularity borderlines satirical, the laughter comes with a bit of a sting – it’s a peerless reminder of how funny and how shitty your teen years were,” Rolling Stone wrote of Mean Girls in our list of the greatest comedies of the 21st century. Years later, the movie has gone on to inspire sequels, Broadway shows, and recently, a movie adaptation, again produced by Tina Fey, that emulates the original with an all-new cast.

Mean Girls Reboot: Cast, Reviews, Runtime, Rating
Along with Angourie Rice in the lead role and Christopher Briney playing Cady’s crush Aaron Samuels, the Mean Girls Reboot cast also features the return of Tim Meadows as Principal Duvall, Fey as math teacher Ms. Norbury, Jaquel Spivey and Auli’i Cravalho as Cady’s friends Janice Ian and Damian.
Bebe Wood also stars as Gretchen Wieners, the character whose dad invented the Toaster Strudel and who tried to make “fetch” happen, Avantika as Karen (“I”m a mouse, duh!”), and Reneé Rapp as the leader of the Plastics, Regina George. Busy Philipps, in the meantime, will play Regina’s mom and hopefully deliver some of Mean Girls‘ most hilarious lines (like the original “I’m not like a regular mom, I’m a cool mom.”).
When the now-iconic flick hit theaters back in the early Aughts, Rolling Stone described it as a cross between “Clueless meets Heathers.” “The plot is flimsy,” Peter Travers wrote in the Mean Girls movie review, “but director Mark Waters (Freaky Friday) trusts Fey’s tart dialogue to carry the day. Wise man. Fey subverts formula to find comic gold. She’s a brash new voice in movie comedy. Boy, do we need her now.”
The Mean Girls reboot hits theaters on January 12th, 2024, and is set to run 112 minutes.
