The movie benefitted from the performances of so many young actresses.\\xa0Open and twinkly-magical then\\u2014 now, 15 years later, they are ruling the world. (Hi #SixChicks\\u2014@brielarson, @ashleybenson, @christabrittany\\u2014who also played a young me in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past\\u2014and my own sweet @revjuliaroth). . I loved my day with this slumber party crew: they danced with abandon and reminded me of the power of just saying yes\\u2014to being in a group, to vulnerability, to wearing a bra over your clothes.\\xa0At the last minute I tossed my adopted LA family member Maddy Sprung-Keyser into the scene. @maddsk went on to be an Academic All American swimmer at Amherst, got her law degree from NYU, and is producing podcasts for @pineapple.fm. Looking back into her adolescence\\u2014with the hair and the men not wanting to jump her bones\\u2014is extra special today. Imagine if every 13 year old girl had an opportunity to dance and feel beautiful like the girls in this film. I am proud of all of you. \\u2764\\ufe0f . I feel so, so lucky to have had the experience of making this joyful movie. And even luckier to be part of something that, all of these years later, can still make people (hi, @arianagrande ) smile. \\nA post shared by Jennifer Garner (@jennifer.garner) on Apr 23, 2019 at 11:43am PDT\\n\\n\\n\\nMean Girls \\nMean Girls is still as big a part of our life as 13 Going On 30.\\n\\n We still quote it, \\u201cOn Wednesdays we wear pink\\u201d and that too was a big part of Ariana Grande\\u2019s Thank You, Next video.\\n\\nJessica Maciel joined Sarina Bellissimo on Sunday\\u2019s \\u201cWe Love Movies\\u201d to look back at these fabulous films.\\xa0\\n \\nListen Back\\n[audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2019/04/29153353/Mean-Girls-podcast.mp3"][/audio]'
