Her two lesser sidekicks are Chastity (Claire Holt), who will make out with any boy at any time, and Hope (Nicole Gale Anderson), a germaphobe convinced that germs lead to ugliness and ugliness leads to death. She dots the "i" in her name with a heart - probably because, as Jo explains, she does not have that organ. The Plastics are led by the evil Mandi (Maiara Walsh). In place of Lohan, the spunky underdog here is Jo (Meaghan Martin), a transfer student who would rather help her father restore car engines than participate in any annoying "girl drama."

And sure enough, like a reliable friend - or a movie franchise worth millions of dollars - "Mean Girls" returns, in the form of a sequel that has its worldwide premiere Sunday on ABC Family. Seconds later, the three younger students narrowly miss being hit by a school bus, and after a warning from Lohan that they better think twice before disturbing the peace, the credits roll.Īs in a superhero flick, their survival left room for a follow-up. In the last scene of " Mean Girls," the 2004 movie written by Tina Fey that navigated the clique-filled halls of high school hell, everything seems blissful - until Lindsay Lohan's character, having established tranquillity among the school's warring ranks, eyes three perfectly coiffed freshman girls strolling around.
