  • A musical film based on the 2004 "Mean Girls" and the accompanying Broadway musical is now in theaters.
  • The new "Mean Girls" movie stars Angourie Rice as Cady Heron and Reneé Rapp as Regina George.

Twenty years after "Mean Girls" was released in theaters and added words like "fetch" and "grool" to the millennial vocabulary, a new generation of Plastics has arrived.

The 2024 remake of "Mean Girls," directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr., stars Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, a homeschooled teen who joins North Shore High School and becomes frenemies with queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp).

Here's how the cast's ages compare to their on-screen counterparts.
