I still haven't seen the original Mean Girls, but it seems to qualify as a chick flick that has found a strong cult following outside of the usual audience one would expect for such a thing. It doesn't hurt that it was written by Tina Fey, and that the humour in it is both dark and clever. Now, with the recent success of Easy A, it would appear that the time is right for a Mean Girls sequel. Unfortunately, I don't think this direct-to-dvd cash grab is really what anyone was hoping for. The story involves a high school outcast named Abby (Jennifer Stone) whose father bribes a new student named Jo (Meaghan Martin) to befriend her. The two then take on the school's "mean girls" aka The Plastics. Of course, these aren't the same mean girls since none of the original cast members are returning, with the exception of Tim Meadows.
