Mean Girls 2

If you loved the first one, you will like the 2nd one!

In this made for ABC family original movie, Jo (Meaghan Martin) is the new girl in town, and she has an edge to her that everyone seems to like.  Abby (Jennifer Stone) is the welcoming committee, and she sits with Jo at lunch.  This is where we learn that the head of the plastics, Mandi (Maiara Walsh) hates Abby because she has always had more than her.  Jo sticks up for Abby and takes her home when her car gets ruined.  Abby’s dad talks to Jo and asks her to become Abby’s friend and he will pay for her college tuition. Jo resists at first, but then starts to hang out with Abby more and more, and finds out that she really likes her.  Abby and Jo also start to team up against the plastics, and Jo even starts dating Mandi’s brother Tyler (Diego Gonzalez Boneta).

Like any other teen drama, we see the hijinks get out of control, and of course everyone turns against Jo because they find out that she was paid to be Abby’s friend and she was also framed for stealing the Homecoming fundraiser movie.  Will Jo be able to explain her way out of this one?  Will Abby and Jo ever be friends again? And will Tyler ever forgive her for making these choices and becoming one of the “mean girls”?

I thought it was a very cute made for TV movie.  I really like the movies that have been made for ABC family.  As much as I loved the original Mean Girls, I think this one was a good sequel.  It had the same bullying concept, but different characters and a different type of plot.  I think that everyone who enjoys ABC family will like this film!
