It’s been 20 years since Tina Fey’s “Mean Girls” hit the screen. On Friday, it returned again to the screen, this time as the “Mean Girls” movie musical.

And it got there with a little help from Tina Fey’s daughters, writes Samantha Ibrahim for The New York Post.

Since the 2004 original movie, there’s another generation on the high school scene, and Fey grappled with Gen Z references. 

Fey, 53, asked daughters Alice, 18, and Penelope, 12, for their help to bring the film up to speed.

“I do sometimes run things by my kids,” Fey recently told USA Today.

“Early on, there was conversation of, ‘Would the Burn Book still be a physical book or should it be a private Instagram?’

“I knew what my instinct was, but I ran it by my kids,” she said. “And my older daughter was like, ‘Yeah, no. Don’t let those millennials overthink it!’” she joked.

The on-screen musical was adapted from the original film and a 2018 Broadway musical. The new release has a major focus on smartphones, social media, and TikTok.  

There are still symbols from the original film, including the Burn Book and Kalteen bars.
