watching *MEAN GIRLS* wondering if I’m FETCH.. | movie review/commentary FIRST TIME WATCHING 

When I was in the military, they decided to show an entire plane of infantrymen this movie on the way to Iraq, in 2004. It was interesting watching a bunch of dudes with guns, quoting Lindsay Lohan. But let me tell you we made fetch happen, We made our interpreter watch it and then taught the Iraqi National guard the word Fetch. Gretchen would have been so proud

I never knew anyone thought "Mean Girls" was a "chick flick". I've always just thought of it as a great comedy.

I didn't expect this one, but I'm here for it, Leo.

More "girl" movies would be awesome lol. Obviously anybody can enjoy them but this one seems to be popular amongst men too because of the humor. I remember reading the book it was based on a year or so before the movie came out and then seeing it in theaters. 💕

I remember when this first came out I labeled it as a chick flick. But watching it recently its actually really well done and hilarious

If there is anyone who could make "fetch" happen, it's Leo.

This came out when I was entering high school and me and my friends didn't think this was a movie just for women, we all thought this movie was really funny, well written, Lohan at her apex.......big fan of Mean Girls!

Not a girl movie, its all of us movie. One of the great comedies. Period:)

This movie is a classic. “Chick Flicks” are quality flicks usually funny as hell. I love that you made the reference to Final Destination. Also watch: - Bridesmaids - Easy A - The To-Do List - House Bunny - Accepted

Excellent movie choice! Some people are quick to write it off as a “chick flick” but it’s honestly hilarious 😆

2004 might have had the best lineup of comedies ever! Mean Girls, Dodgeball, Anchorman, Shaun of the Dead, Harold and Kumar, Napoleon Dynamite, EuroTrip, Meet the Fockers, Along Came Polly, White Chicks, 50 First Dates, Shrek 2 and Team America just to name a few. Hard to top that many great comedies in one year.

I believe Tina Fey was one of the main writers. This movie was brilliant. It was originally rated R, but they managed to get it to PG-13 by just changing a couple lines. I wonder how much Budden got for having his music play during the house party scene lol

Leo, me and my daughter watched this together when she was in early high school, we laughed so hard!! We STILL quote this movie at each other all the time.. she once posted and tagged me on Facebook " My mom... made out with a hot dog"..😅😅... and I replied," IT WAS ONLY ONE TIME!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The African Savannah while the animals are hunting for food is probably less dangerous than an American high school. 🤣😂🤣

Fun fact about this film. This was All filmed in Toronto canada. That mall they walk in, I grew up with that mall. And that shop where Janis worked at, that store actually excited till 2012. Georgia‘s house was up for auction couple months ago

The look on your face when they ‘final destinationed’ Regina was so damn priceless!!!!!

I gotta be up for work in six hours but here I am 😅

"Four for you, Glen Coco! You go, Glen Coco!"

That was so fetch, Leo. This is the gold standard of high school movies. My teenage daughter encouraged me to watch it a few years ago, after she mentioned a catch phrase I didn't understand, "On Tuesdays we wear pink." I'm like what's that all about. Now, I know.

Still remember when I was young and stupid I had a prejudice for this movie without ever seeing it. Just cause the typical old stereotype 'it's a girls movie" Then I finally watched it and it's legitimately fantastic

"Started putting it together... SHE DON'T LIKE HER BRACELET!!!"🤣🤣🤣 You fell into Girl World 🤣🤣🤣

Never would have expected this movie to become the classic that it has when my wife and I saw it in 03. Also never would have ever imagined it would have become a kick-ass musical on Broadway. But it really holds up well.

God I love this movie! Karen is iconic imo “if you’re from Africa….why are you white?” LMFAO! Love the reaction Leo!

“ that’s so fetch” forever iconic💯

"THE BREAKFAST CLUB" You'll do us Gen-Xers proud watching it.

This is one of those movies that can get labelled as a "chick flick" in a derogatory way for people who haven't seen it - but it's pretty much universally acclaimed by men and women alike thanks to Tina Fey's tight script and the way it leans into such absurdity to the point where it basically becomes a satire of high-school movies. Tina Fey was a head writer for SNL for years, and she's mentioned in interviews how she likes to write in a style where it's basically almost every other line should be a joke or an absurd line. You can see that in this movie, 30 Rock, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I think what works for her vs other writers who try to do the same thing is that every joke has has a genuine purpose to either foreshadow something, or give a better insight to a character. Like even coach Carr had a whole character arc lol. Plus she rarely gives the jokes time to breathe, and just goes right into the next point of dialogue as if nothing happened.

The fact that Rachel McAdams played the role of Regina George so well the same year that she starred as Allie in The Notebook… RANGE, PEOPLE.

This movie is not just for girls, the gay best friend is so funny, he’s my favorite. “Omg Danny Devito, I love you.” “She doesn’t even go here!” 🤣

I went to see this with my girlfriend in theaters and liked it so much, I went back and saw it again secretly by myself, after I dropped her off.

"Bitch I don't shop at Sears! Do you know who I am?!" - Leo a.k.a Mr. Video, 2022

And I saw it mentioned but yes, “Easy A” is another “chick flick” that is actually just another hilarious movie.

I'm getting selfish needing a Mr. Video reaction video every day. Thank u Leo for all the entertainment.

Probably the only "chick flick" I've enjoyed and have watched more than once. And it's bc Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are genuinely good comedy writers that made an actual funny movie 😂

Hahaha aww man. I'm glad I grew up with sisters cause this movies a fuckin classic😂

If I was Kady, I'd remind the principal of the fact that I was a new student and barely knew anyone, so me making the burn book wouldn't be possible, but cop to the false rumor about the math teacher and take responsibility. Also I'd point out that Regina allegedly put her photo inside to not incriminate herself and appear as a victim. Even when I was 16 I knew how to take accountability for my actions.

I’ve only seen bits and pieces of this movie but excited to watch it with you!

Such a good movie. Remember telling my buddies about it back in the day. They laughed and said its a chick flick. Maybe so but its good lol they watched it and liked it.

Thank you Leo! Way to think of us, and keeping it well rounded. Love your videos! Glad your back and keep up the great videos! Your my favorite ❤

I never expected seeing this video pop up tonight but I’m here for it!! This is definitely an underrated movie that isn’t just a “chick flick”, it’s legit. Always looking forward to that Leo heat! 🔥

Yay I like when guys react to this movie. 🥰

Soon, all my favourite male reactors will have reacted to Mean Girls. I’m collecting them all, lol. Such a funny movie! The book it’s based on is also about the particular ways in which girls fight, eg the backstabbing, not including someone, spreading rumours. It differs from how guys fight. But of course the movie can be enjoyed by anyone!

35 year old male here. This falls in my top three (in no particular order) with Shawshank Redemption and Terminator 2. Thank you for coming to my Ponte Talk. 🤣

First one here!!! Yeah!!! Hope all is well for you and yours! Always wishing you the best life has to offer because you're a good person inside and out, which is what makes you the most deserving!!

"Jambo!" was the most hilarious part. She thought because they were Black they'd speak Swahili. 🤣

Clueless, bridesmaids, legally blonde, heathers. More female lead comedies

I’m so glad you did this one…some of the most often quoted movie quotes come from this movie. It makes me laugh every time I watch it….so fetch!! 😂

Homeschooled female here! ✋ Saw this in the theater my Senior year. Love this movie! More "girl" movies would be awesome!

“Four for you, Glenn Coco! You go, Glenn Coco!"

Absolutely high school is like that. At least when I went lol. And yes, being popular is a full time job. I wasn’t but my sister was the Regina (only very sweet).

Yes! Iove seeing people go into this movie blind, it's hilarious and very thoughtful!

The title makes people underestimate how good this movie is.

FINALLY! I’ve been wanting you to react to this for months now! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Only Leo can truly make "fetch" a thing. It's going to happen. 😂

This movie is a classic comedy. It made Lindsay Lohan in Hollywood. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿

I'm a 40 year old man and I fkn love this movie

Leo, you should definitely watch "She's the Man" with AMANDA BYNES and Channing Tatum. Another good comedy. 👍👍

Gonna need some What We Do In The Shadows..... But thanks for everything else too!!!

Omg I haven't been this excited for an upload in a while!! Can't wait to watch, I'm sure you're gonna love it! Keep up the awesome work dude

Thank you so much for being so open to all kinds of stories. Love your channel!

You consistently crack me up. Watching a movie with you and having a drink prolly fun as hell.

This movie is super under rated as a comedy. Not just a girl movie, it’s just damn funny. Created a ton of memes too.

You’re a legend for this one Leo

I love how invested Leo gets in a movie that’s not his go-to genre. Makes him one of the best reactors around 👏

Mean Girls is a classic! "We wear pink on Wednesdays."

Oh man who got you to watch this?! This is so funny. Friends and I quote it often. Favorite among many gay men as well. Yes, girls in high school are this vicious. Some never grow out of it as adults. 🤗❤

Now you gotta watch HEATHERS!!! This movie was heavily influenced by it, it's the OG mean girls comedy. ✌️💖

Thanks for the shout out to the ladies. Gentle tap clap!

The best line in this movie is “She’s a life ruiner, she ruins peoples lives”

Just remember, for the popular kids, that was the pinnacle of their lives; it's all downhill for the rest of their lives. And for people like you and me, who weren't part of the In crowd, the best revenge is living well. I've enjoyed the adventures of my life. And look at you, with your own RU-vid enterprise!

About 20 years after high school, one of the boys who was part of the group that made my life a living hell, tried to pick me up, trying to get my digits, while I was waiting for the bus on the way home after work (at Sears, ha!). I was all, "You don't remember me, do you?" I let him down, kind of gently, but I did just tell him that there was no way in hell, in nice but firm words, that I'd go out with him and he should just move along. And then! About a year later, it happened again! This time, I said, "We did this last year, Chris St. Germain, and I told you no last year, and the answer is still no. Because you were a total dick to me in high school." Thought I would share that. It was nice.

"This a girl movie" Girl, boy, whatever you want idgaf this movie is GOATed

I'm so excited for you to watch this I can't wait to see your reaction hope you're doing well leo! 💜

Love the vids man keep them up

Omg, I love you more than I already did for this one! Great, hilarious movie! 😂 Leo bringing that 🔥🔥🔥 tonight!

Whenever Mean Girls is on my dad laughs at it as if it were his first time watching it when it’s definitely been more than 20 times. Movie’s just too good

30 year old man here. Mean Girls and Freaky Friday are unironically two of my favorite movies. Saw them both right before I started Highschool, and have loved them ever since lol.

I was 19 when this movie came out and me and my friend went to see this in secret because we were embarrassed to go see it. Turned out to be a great movie and I still watch it all the time

I had some shitty news last night so this is a great thing to see in my subscription feed. Can't wait to watch this, great movie.

Tbh tho I don't see how Cady COULD have wrote the Burn Book, especially by herself... She wasn't even at that school long enough to know everybody let alone the things written in the book 😂

a movie just for the ladies? my guy!! we all love this movie!! is banger comedy!

This reaction was awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I lol right along with you. I fckin love this movie 🤣

Best teen angst high school movie is "Heathers." Winona Ryder. Christian Slater.

Regina George could manipulate her way through Game of Thrones! Loved the video! Feel like Papa Leo came out during this one 😂😂

"They just don't show'em on Tv!" I haven't laughed that hard all week😂😂😂 You're one of a kind 😂😂😂👍👍👍

Clicked quick on this one :) This is one is a high school classic. I dont usually gravitate towards girly movies but this one was written by a woman (The teacher/Tina Fey) and she did well with this. Please please check out "Steel Magnolias" or "Fried Green Tomato's" sometime. Youd get a good laugh from both

Hells yes! 🖤

Great reaction! Had so much fun watching this with you. This is an iconic movie!😄👍🤣

Haha yes. My buddy in high school who passed away used to have a theater room we would always crash at. For some reason we always fell asleep to Mean Girls lol good times.

Also 37:36 Leo you didn’t miss anything I was in the popular crew but ditched them to hang out with I guess you’d say the “nerdy” group because the popular ones were SO boring, there’s no personality there at all!

W mr video

Appreciate you doing one for the ladies Mr. V! Loved it!!

Great takes, Leo! I loved when you said high schoolers have their priorities backwards because they don't care about being smart, they just care about looking good. That made me smile.

IMO this is both a female and male movie, the comedy appeals to both (something you’d expect from all the SNL cast in and behind the scenes in this movie). And all the quotable moments lol, hardly does anyone not know “the limit does not exist” or “she doesn’t even go here”.

I love this movie because my HS was full of "mean" girls. The parody of them is on point 👌

Thank you Leo for always being yourself !!! Love :):)

One of my favorite reactions from Leo.

Oh man you need to watch _Legally Blonde_ and _Miss Congeniality_ , two more "chick" flicks but you'd love them lol

"That is so fetch!" "Gretchen, stop making fetch happen! It's not gonna happen." This movie is very quotable to this day. Watching this movie makes me realize that this is what my high school was like when I was 17.

The principal with his baseball batte, I love this scene 😂 😂 😂

I love how diverse your channel is!
