* BrokenAesop: The moral of the story seems to be "don't be a follower," but in the end, Abby decides to attend Carnegie-Melon instead of her original goal of NYU just to stick with Jo, who in turn based her college decision solely on it being the school her dead mother went to.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Apart from the element of Jo creating a group of Anti-Plastics and the climactic football game, the film is pretty much a remake of the first film, without the laughs. Also Jo's friends turning against her is extremely forced. Creator/TinaFey repeatedly turned down offers to make the sequel. Now that the sequel was done without her, she regrets turning down the offer.

** Jo herself is somewhat unlikeable. Jo doesn’t just embrace her tomboyishness but actually seems to use it as an excuse to view herself better than other girls. She frequently claims to not “look like most girls” but she’s got long Blonde hair, a petite figure, a ''very'' girly voice and the only thing that differs her from the Plastics looks-wise is that she wears leather jackets, ripped jeans and T-shirt’s rather than the exaggerated, frilly, bright Plastics clothing. Therefore, some could argue that Jo judges people on their appearances more than their personalities.
