Get ready to channel your inner Regina George because the new Mean Girls reunion is on its way! Everyone’s favorite Queen Bee, Rachel McAdams, is back and ready to rule the screen once again.
Life has changed for McAdams since becoming a mother, but that hasn’t stopped her from taking on exciting new projects. During the filming of Lionsgate’s “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” McAdams had her five-month-old daughter and two-year-old son on set. Even her sister and make-up artist Kayleen had her two children by her side. McAdams describes the set as a “really amazing mom-positive” environment, where everyone understood the challenges of balancing work and motherhood.

McAdams, like many working parents, is not immune to the “mom guilt” that often creeps in. Despite being “very lucky” to have ample time with her kids, she found a deep connection as a mother that she poured into her role as Barbara Simon, the mother of the main character Margaret, in the beloved Judy Blume book adaptation. The film, directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, took 50 years to make it to the big screen, and McAdams’ portrayal has garnered universal acclaim.

Preparing for the role, McAdams engaged in conversations with Judy Blume and Kelly Fremon Craig about how to portray Barbara. They wanted to create a relatable character who could be both sexy and flawed. They found the middle ground, showcasing the honesty of being a mother who is all these things but may not always feel that way.
The film itself is a beautiful portrait of womanhood, following the journey of an 11-year-old girl in 1970 as she navigates puberty and adolescence. It pays homage to family films of the ’80s and ’90s, with a heartwarming and sincere depiction of a girl’s first menstrual cycle.
A Film for Everyone

McAdams highlights the stellar performance of Benny Safdie, who portrays the quintessential “good dad” trying to keep up with his girls.
