Lindsay Lohan’s Christmas romantic comedyOur Little Secrethas aMean Girlsreunion 20 years in the making, and one that the 2024 musical didn’t capitalize on. Some ofLindsay Lohan’s best moviesare also some of the most memorable films from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Many of her films are so well-liked and enduring that they’re being revisited decades later, such as theupcomingFreaky Fridaysequel, as well as the musical version ofMean Girls. WhileFreakier Fridaywill reunite Lohan with Jamie Lee Curtis,Mean Girls2024 had a chance to be another reunion for her, but the movie didn’t seize that opportunity.
Luckily, a completely different movie gave Lohan the chance to reunite with herMean Girlsco-star on-screen 20 years later. Thecast ofOur Little Secret, the new Netflix romantic comedy, brings Lohan together with major stars likeWicked’s Kristin Chenoweth,Pretty Little Liars' Ian Harding, but it also reunited her with a prominent actor from the originalMean Girls. Their reunion isn’t just special because of how long it’s been in the works, however, but also because both of them made cameos inMean Girls2024, yet they were never on screen at the same time.
