TheMean Girlscast has finally reunited and all it took to pull them together was a funny, creative, and catchy Walmart campaign for Black Friday. The ad released featuresLindsay Lohan,Amanda Seyfried, andLacey Chabertreprising their roles fromMark Waters’ 2004 teen comedy film. The ad also features supporting cast members from the original film includingDaniel FranzeseandRajiv Surendra.
The funniest part of the ad is that Chabert as Gretchen Wieners is still trying to make fetch happen and instead of Regina George (played byRachel McAdams), it’s now her daughter telling her that fetch is still not going to happen. Cady, Gretchen, and Karen are all grown up, but the girl world looks just the same.
One difference though — instead of pop culture references from the 2000s, there are references to Walmart’s Black Friday sale scattered throughout the ad, as that’s the whole purpose for the retail giant to pull theMean Girlscast together. And instead of academics and sports, the coach is informing the students that those with Walmart Plus access will receive a 3-hour early entry to the Black Friday sale. In an interview withPEOPLE, this is what Lohan had to say about the reunion: “It was so nice being back together after all these years. It was great catching up with everyone.” Other returning cast members had similar comments and Chabert added “It was wonderful to spend the day with Amanda and Lindsay and it was so much fun getting to reminisce and be together again.”
