Exclusive: Watch Mean Girls for Free Today Only - Unveiled on TikTok!

Summary

Mean Girls, the cult classic teen comedy, is now available to watch for free on TikTok in honor of Mean Girls Day on October 3.

This marks Paramount, a major studio, embracing the trend of consuming movies in smaller segments on TikTok. The launch on TikTok is expected to generate anticipation for the upcoming theater release of the Mean Girls musical adaptation scheduled for January 12, 2024.

Mean Girls can now be streamed for free on TikTok. Originally released in 2004, this teen comedy follows Lindsay Lohan as Cady Heron, a student who transfers to a public high school after being homeschooled in Africa. She becomes friends with the popular Plastics clique, which includes Regina George (Rachel McAdams), Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert), and Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried). Known for its cult classic status, Mean Girls has become a beloved part of pop culture and is filled with iconic quotes.

To celebrate Mean Girls Day on October 3, an official Mean Girls TikTok account has been created. The entire one-hour, 47-minute film can be watched for free, divided into 23 parts. You can start by watching the first part below and continue on TikTok:

The Mean Girls TikTok account's bio famously states, "Get in loser, we're going shopping," which is a quote spoken by Regina to Cady as she arrives in a sports convertible. Mean Girls Day is recognized on October 3rd due to a memorable scene from the 2004 movie where Cady's love interest, Aaron Samuels (played by Jonathan Bennett), asks her about the date, and she responds with, "It's October 3," as shown in the following clip:

Why Mean Girls Is On TikTok

Watching complete movies in smaller segments has emerged as a popular trend on TikTok in recent years. One notable instance of this trend going viral is the 1957 classic "12 Angry Men," which was recently discovered by the younger demographic on the platform. While many accounts sharing these clips infringe on copyright, the release of "Mean Girls" on TikTok sets Paramount apart as one of the first studios to embrace this online phenomenon. This strategic decision not only coincides with October 3 but also aims to generate excitement for the upcoming Mean Girls musical in early 2022.

The Mean Girls stage musical announced a movie adaptation in January 2020, featuring Angourie Rice as Cady, Reneé Rapp as Regina, Bebe Wood as Gretchen, and Avantika Vandanapu as Karen. Tina Fey and Tim Meadows will also reprise their roles. Filming for the movie musical concluded in March 2023, prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike, and it is scheduled for theatrical release on January 12, 2024. The stage musical received acclaim for capturing the original movie's essence, so fans can expect the film adaptation to deliver the same experience.
