Fans of the original complained of a line in the trailer.
Twenty years after the premiere of the original film, a new musical version of Nasty girls Hit the rooms on January 12. The 2004 version is a beloved classic today, especially for millennials which were about the same age as the characters in the film when it was released. So when the slogan of the new film, "it's not your mother Nasty girls ", Was revealed in a trailer, it did everything, from confusion to indignation among the generation, which is now from 28 to 43 years. In a recent interview, writer Tina Fey criticized the reaction of the millennium to the new Nasty girls , saying it was proof of the "narcissism" of the age group.
In relation: Tina Fey says this celebrity guest was a "disaster" Snl .
"It was the primordial marketing department, then the millennials were so much but" " Fey said USA today Slogan. "It was like, yes, you get older! It exposed a millennial little narcissism: when you went, there were also other people in the theater! And some of them were perhaps older than you! In history."
A lot Millennials complained that the slogan made them feel old and out of words. Others pointed out that they do not have the children old enough to age the age they were when they saw 2004 for the first time Nasty girls , so "not your mother Nasty girls "The feeling does not apply. For example, an X (formerly Twitter) Published user , "Do wicked girls drag me with 'it is not the nasty girls of your mother'? How old do I have ???" Another wrote, "Lol how old do they think we were when we saw mean girls."
The two children of Fey are members of the Z generation at the age of 12 and 18.

"I sometimes direct things by my children," said Fey. "At the beginning, there was a conversation on:" Burn's book would it always be a physical book or should it be a private Instagram? "I knew what my instinct was, but I ran it by my children. And my eldest daughter was like:" Yeah, no. Do not let these millennials too think! "" So Burn's book remained in its original form. Star Angourie Rice - Who plays Cady, the role that Lindsay Lohan Played in 2004 - was judged of Fey's decision, "she is right. Everything always seemed timeless. Nothing seemed:" Oh, we do this because it is fashionable. ""
In the same interview, Fey stressed that the 2004 film now has fans of all generations, which is why it was logical to first make the musical adaptation of Broadway, which was presented in 2018, and now The new film, based on musical. "Because (the film) was always on TBS, I felt like it was a net that would catch people at the age of 11, 12 or 13," she said. "I guess we really have cable television to thank."
