In honor of Mean Girls Day, Paramount Pictures has decided to make the movie available for free… in 23 separate parts.

Fans can head on over to the official Paramount TikTok account, where the 97-minute film has been chopped into 23 roughly 4-minute-long chunks. If you’re familiar with TikTok, videos are suggested to you on the ‘For You’ page according to a personalized algorithm (that guesses what you want to watch based on how you interact with content overall). Some users (including myself) have been unable to scroll through their For You page without a random 4-minute clip from Mean Girls being suggested every five or so videos – which is, arguably, not exactly the way films are meant to be watched. Still, each clip is filled with comments and fans seem to be living for the chaos.
