"I just don't get why the wardrobe of today's movies has to be so pedestrian," one wrote.
"The costuming in this is actually atrocious," one noted.
"Look, I like the musical and all but the original Mean Girls is still a classic, even to this day. And while I get it's a modern retailing there comes the reservation of it potentially losing the nuance the original has. And I'm sorry but we have to critique the fashion," another one wrote.
"The costumes have no reason to be this bad when the original mean girls movie is iconic for its fashion," one posted.
