Dean's Reviews: 'Mean Girls: The Musical' and 'The Beekeeper'

TO CAVE GUYS ARE SO FAR WE HAVE NO ENTERTAINMENT CANCELLATIONS, CONCERTS, THEATER LIKE THAT. IF ANY OF THAT CHANGES, WE WILL TELL YOU HERE IN ALSO ONLINE. IN THE MEANTIME, THOUGH, I DO HAVE A FEW NEW MOVIES OPENING TODAY. AND THERE’S GEORGE EASTHAM SECOND LIFE FOR ENTERPRISE. THE BUYER PEOPLE CAN YOU, BY THE WAY. LIKE SO MANY MOVIES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE 2004 HIGH SCHOOL CLASSIC MEAN GIRLS IS THE LATEST TO GET THE MUSICAL TREATMENT. BUT THIS NOT ONLY ADD SOME SONG AND DANCE. IT ALSO UPDATES THE CULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE IT

MORE REALLY DOUBLE TO A NEW GENERATION. NO, I’M NOT IN THAT GENERATION. BUT THE CROWD WITH WHOM I SOME OF THE LITTLE GIRLS, MUSICAL WAS AND THEY WERE HOWLING AT THIS NEW SPOOFING OF THE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SYSTEM HAPPENED. ALL OF THE EVIL THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT. THE STORY LINE PRETTY MUCH IT WAS ALSO WRITTEN BY TINA FEY, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER ACTORS FROM THE ORIGINAL MOVIE. ALSO APPEAR IN THIS VERSION. ONCE AGAIN, THE NEW KID IN SCHOOL IS INTRODUCED TO ALL THE CLIPS WHEN IT’S TAKEN IN BY THE EXCLUSIVE MEAN GIRLS. IT’S A

CLEVER RETELLING ALL THE TEENAGE BULLYING. THE CALLING THE MEAN-SPIRITED ALL WRAPPED UP IN TECHNOLOGY THAT DIDN’T EXIST 20 YEARS AGO WITH THE SONG AND THEN SOUNDTRACK THAT COMES FROM BROADWAY MUSICAL ADAPTATION. MOSTLY NOT GETTING IN THE WAY ABOUT TALENTED

AND VERY DIVERSE CAST AND TO WHAT IS SURE TO BE A TEAM. THE LIGHT DEAN’S LIST I CAN JUST REPLICATE WHAT HE DOES. MAGIC MONEY. PEOPLE GIVE ALSO THIS WEEKEND, THERE’S LAKEITH STANFIELD THE BOOK OF CLARENCE COMEDY. BIBLICAL MUSICAL DRAMA ABOUT A DOWN ON HIS LUCK WEED SMOKING NEIGHBOR OF JESUS, WHO ALSO PROCLAIMS HIMSELF TO BE

A MESSIAH. BUT HE DOES IT FOR MONEY. NOW SOME HAVE COMPARED THIS MOVIE TIMONTE PYTHON’S LIFE BRIAN. WELL, THE 1979 CLASSIC WAS MORE OF A STRAIGHTAWAY SPOOF COMEDY. THE BOOK OF CLARENCE ALSO TOUCHES ON SOME SERIOUS IT’S AN AMBITIOUS AND ORIGINAL UNDERTAKING, EVEN THOUGH IT SOMETIMES FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING IS TOO MANY DIRECTIONS. I GAVE IT A DEAN’S LIST. HAVEN’T BEEN THIS PLACE TO THE GROUND. AND IF YOU DON’T OVERTHINK IT, YOU’LL HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH THE ULTRA ACTION STAY IS IN FOR REVENGE. BOTH WITH A NICE SENIOR CITIZEN LADY FOR WHOM HE

FALLS VICTIM TO AN INTERNET CALL CENTER SCAM. THIS THE PAYBACK IS PAINFUL AND PLENTIFUL, BUT NO COMPLEX STORYLINES LIKE VISUALS ARE METAPHORS. JUST MOVIE THAT ISN’T AFRAID TO SIMPLY DELIVER NONSTOP DESTRUCTION. IT IS PROBABLY WHAT IT IS. AND ANOTHER DEAN’S LIST B.
