Examples:

  • Keeping 'Stop' in the Mean Girls movie could have emphasized Cady's evolution but was cut due to time constraints.

Deceptions

53%

Examples:

  • Cady's transformation into Regina was abrupt when she became the center of attention on social media after winter break. However, it is clear from the text that there were off-screen events leading up to this moment and therefore a slow escalation cannot be ruled out.
  • The song 'Stop' was cut from the movie because Angourie Rice did not have a good voice for it. However, this is false as there are no sources disclosed to support this claim and furthermore, Spivey took over her part in 'Apex Predator'.
