So Fetch: The Trailer for Mean Girls 2 Arrives

When Movieline caught up with original Mean Girls writer Tina Fey at Comic-Con this summer, she seemed decidedly against the idea of a sequel to Mean Girls. "Paramount was very generous and solicitous with me for several years, saying, 'Would you like to do it?' And at the time, I was like, 'They should just let it be what it is!'" Fey said. Maybe Paramount should have listened to Fey after all.

The first trailer for the direct-to-DVD sequel to Mean Girls has arrived, and in addition to stripping Tim Meadows of his dignity, it presents what you would expect from a direct-to-DVD sequel to Mean Girls. That means The Plastics are back, and the cast is filled with Disney-friendly faces. (Look, it's that girl from Camp Rock! And that one from Desperate Housewives!) It all looks positively crappy -- think Mean Girls without any of the stuff that made it Mean Girls -- which leads us to wonder what Fey would have been able to do with a second crack at high school. "Now, its like, why not just do it?" Fey mused to Movieline this summer. "I should have done it, because now it's happening anyway!" It sure is, Tina. It sure is.

VERDICT: Stop trying to make fetch happen.
