Mean Girls 2

Audience emotional responses for Mean Girls 2 are heavily influenced by its status as a direct-to-video sequel to a beloved cult classic, leading to a significant sense of Nostalgia for the original. The film's plot, centered on high school social dynamics and bullying, elicits strong Anger towards the antagonist 'Plastics' and considerable Empathy for the protagonists, Jo and Abby, as they navigate the challenges. Despite being a comedy, the low IMDB rating suggests that the intended Humor often falls flat, contributing to a sense of Sadness and Melancholy stemming from the characters' struggles and potentially disappointment with the film's overall quality compared to its predecessor.
