Apart from the tunes, which range in style from Avril Lavigne to Billie Eilish to Beyoncé, and the presence of TikTok-ish social media, it is pretty much a retake of the original. “Fetch” is still not happening, naive new girl at school Cady (Angourie Rice) is again seduced by the power of the Plastics clique led by Reneé Rapp’s intimidating Regina, and writer/co-star Tina Fey is back to teach the kids that calling someone ugly isn’t going to make you better-looking.
