Still, it features much of the same storyline, just with songs included — Cady (Angourie Rice) enters the unfamiliar world of high school, only to get pulled into The Plastics, the circle of queen bee Regina George (Renée Rapp). When Cady develops a crush on Regina’s ex-boyfriend, Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), she and her friends forge a plan to sabotage Regina and destroy her place in the high school hierarchy. This new iteration is directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. and is once again written by Tina Fey.
