Ten years later, “fetch” still isn’t happening. But a “Mean Girls” reunion may.
Lindsay Lohan announced last week that screenwriter Tina Fey is planning a get-together of the 2004 cast.
“I saw Tina, and she mentioned maybe doing some sort of reunion,” Lohan said on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on March 6.
The 10-year anniversary of the satirical high-school comedy arrives April 30, but no official reunion date has been confirmed.
Twenty-year-old UF biology sophomore Adithi Vemuri has lost count of the times she’s seen “Mean Girls.”
“I think it’s awesome, because I love all of them,” she said.
Vemuri awaits the reunion with feelings of nostalgia and excitement.
“Everyone from our generation can quote it and knows what you’re talking about when you reference it,” she said.
Second-year UF law student John Kelly, 23, saw the film and became so engrossed that he completely forgot he had to go to work.
“I had made fun of people for watching it, ‘cause that’s what you do,” he said.
But he decided to try it out once before his shift at Publix.
“I don’t know if I loved it, but I couldn’t turn it off,” he said.
When his brother got home, Kelly realized he was half an hour late for work.
Although he didn’t suffer any major repercussions from his boss, Kelly said he was made fun of at work for the incident.
Kelly said he will probably watch the reunion when it happens, but not before he has to work.
