Disney+ adds iconic 'wickedly funny' noughties cult classic that fans still can't get enough of
Disney+ subscribers should be running not walking to their TVs this Bank Holiday weekend as a fan-favourite teen comedy has dropped.
Disney+ has just added a cult classic to its extensive library, which has already made its way into its top 10 most streamed films.
Mean Girls is a modern-day teen classic, and now millennials can relive the magic over and over again as the Lindsay Lohan film was released on Disney+ this week.
Created by 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live legend Tina Fey, Mean Girls originally hit the big screen back in 2004, with The Parent Trap's childhood star Lindsay Lohan as Cady Heron.
After leaving her childhood behind in Africa, Cady joins a 'normal' school in Illinois where her two new friends give her the inside scoop on everyone's social status.
Her path then crosses with the infamous Plastics: 'Fetch' creator Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert), aspiring 'weather girl' Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried) and their leader, the terrifying Regina George (Rachel McAdams).
Cady initially doesn't see what the issue is with the Plastics until she becomes smitten with Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett).
Besides its star-studded cast, which also features Fey herself as Ms Norbury, Parks and Recreation actress Amy Poehler and Scrubs' Neil Flynn, Mean Girls is a classic thanks to its stream of memorable one-liners.
Some of the classics that continue to be used in Reels today include 'On Wednesdays we wear pink', 'That is so fetch', 'Is Butter a carb?' and 'I'm sick', followed by Karen's pathetic cough and Regina's response: 'Boo you w***e'.
Mean Girls may not have the best Rotten Tomatoes rating with 84% but fans cannot help but express their love for the film, with it being labelled as 'wickedly funny'.
Another remarked: 'Undoubtedly the best teen comedy ever adapted from a sociological study…'
A third agreed: 'Mean Girls is a hysterical comedy about high school cliques, and may be the best teen satire since Heathers', while another describes it as 'comic gold'.
More than 20 years have passed since Mean Girls was first released but has been given a new lease of life with the 2024 remake starring Angourie Rice and Renee Rapp as Cady and Regina, respectively.
This version differs though, as it's actually a musical and has since been made into a West End and Broadway musical.

Olivia Rodrigo goes (almost) unnoticed dancing in Glastonbury crowd ahead of headline slot
She is set to headline Glatonbury's Sunday night on the Pyramid stage. But on Saturday, Olivia Rodrigo, made sure she fully immersed herself in the festival spirit as she was spotted sat on top of her boyfriend Louis Partridge's shoulders, singing her heart out to Common People during Pulp's surprise set. The Disney star turned pop-punk singer, 22, appeared in high spirits as she belted out the iconic lyrics, whilst waving her arms about. Olivia kept it casual as she wore a black and white sleeveless vest, which she paired with leopard print shorts and a hunter wellies, with white over-the knee socks. Despite trying her best not to stand out from the crowd one person who did spot her in the crowd was none other than Radio 1's Greg James. Taking to his Instagram story, Greg could be seen singing along with fellow Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens. As the pair sang along, videoing themselves and the crowd, Greg wrote over the top: 'Watching Pulp with Olivia Rodrigo'. He then panned the camera round where Olivia could be seen, just a stones throw away from him, with the crowd seemingly blissfully unaware of the headliner's presence. Greg, dressed in a Varsity style shirt, baseball cap and sunglasses, then subtly pointed to Olivia and jokingly asked his followers: 'Who's that?' Olivia, 22, last performed at Worthy Farm back in 2022 on the smaller Other Stage. It is thought she has been brought in this year to appeal to a much younger audience. During her performance in 2022, she brought out special guest Lily Allen with the pair singing Lily's 2009 hit F**k You in response to the US Supreme Court 's decision to overturn Roe v Wade. At the time Olivia took to The Other Stage at Worthy Farm where she said she was 'devastated and terrified' by the ruling which ended the constitutional right to abortion in the US, meaning individual states could decide whether abortion can be made illegal. She said: 'I'm devastated and terrified [by the ruling] and so many women and girls are going to die because of this and I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who showed us at the end of the day they truly don't give a s*** about freedom.' After her words prompted huge applause from the audience, Olivia went on to address the Supreme Court justices individually, saying: 'This song goes out to the justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh.' Fellow pop star Lily, 37, was seen giving the middle finger as she stood on stage, before saying: 'We hate you guys!' as the pair launched into the expletive-filled song. Since that appearance, Olivia has amassed almost 40million followers on Instagram and won three Grammys. She also headlined British Summertime festival on Friday night and surprised fans when she welcomed superstar guest Ed Sheeran on stage during her set at Hyde Park. The American songstress, sent fans wild and joined the singer songwriter, 34, in a duet of his mega 2011 hit The A Team. Together the pair strummed their guitars while belting out the iconic lyrics while the 65,000 strong audience cheered in delight. Olivia looked incredible on stage in a skimpy metallic crop top and matching mini skirt while belting out her hits. Her headline BST performance brought the crowds out to The Amex Experience which had been given a full Olivia Rodrigo makeover for the show. Fans queued around the House to get their hands on exclusive purple Olivia Rodrigo water bottles, and were able to try Olivia inspired SOUR Grape soda, filled with all of her favourite flavours at the brand new Soda Bar. As fans walked into the festival they were also greeted by Olivia's GUTS World Tour bus presented by American Express, which had travelled around London letting her fans see tour outfits, hear an exclusive message from Olivia and snap photos with her iconic red megaphone.
