* Miss Desjardin’s calling out of the girls for the shower incident. She actually throws a whole duffel bag’s amount of tampons at the girls, then gives them a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech serious verbal lashing]] for how they treated Carrie.
-->'''Miss Desjardin:''' I want you all to know what you did on Friday was a really nasty thing. Did you stop to think that Carrie White might have feelings? Do any of you ever ''stop to think''?! Sue? Helen? Tina? Oh, you think she’s ugly, don’t you? Well, ''you’re'' ugly. I saw just how ugly all of you are Friday morning!\\
'''Chris:''' You can’t talk to us like this, my dad’s a lawyer!\\
'''Miss Desjardin:''' ''[[BigShutUp Shut up!]]'' Open your mouth one more time… and I’ll plug ''you'' up.

-->'''Mr. Morton:''' Court it is. Oh! And Mr. Hargensen. The minute you file for damages on the grounds of physical and verbal abuse, I will cross-file against your daughter on those same grounds on behalf of Carrie White and the other nineteen students in this folder. Parent/Teacher night is the first Tuesday of even-numbered months. Hope you stop by.

* There's also Miss Desjardin still getting away with hitting Chris without actually hitting her (she slapped her in the book and original film but wouldn't be possible in the 2000s) - shoving her against the locker. Chris tries to protest that she can't hit her students, Miss Desjardin gives her an icy "I barely touched you" that's practically daring the little sociopath to claim she was hit and [[CassandraTruth see who believes her]].

Added DiffLines:

* Sue's consistent NervesOfSteel when being interrogated. She maintains her innocence and explains the situation as honestly as possible; well, except for the part where she saved Carrie's life and is hiding her because Carrie would either be arrested, committed, or sent to a weird science lab where her powers would be studied. When the investigators learn that Sue ''was'' innocent, they apologize to her.
* The scene with Mr. Morton has an added AdaptationalBadass moment for Carrie. Instead of just telekinetically flipping an ashtray off the table when her name is said wrong, she moves the whole table itself across the room.
* Miss Desjardin’s calling out of the girls for the shower incident. She actually throws a whole duffel bag’s amount of tampons at the girls, then gives them a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech serious verbal lashing]] for how they treated Carrie.

* The school officials, who not only ensure Chris is punished for her actions but also deliver a legal slap to her father's face when he actually attempts to sue them for suspending his daughter by threatening to file a countersuit on behalf of Carrie. The school official also makes special mention of Chris's numerous cases of harassing students.
* After the blood is poured - in contrast to the book, where everyone is laughing - Helen does not find it funny at all. She smacks Kenny for laughing at Carrie and immediately goes onto the stage to see if she's alright. She's also seen trying to move Tommy's body off the stage during the initial rampage.
** Also when Tina sarcastically says "good luck" to Carrie during the voting, Helen gives her a DeathGlare that warns her not to say anything else.
** In fact, it's revealed that, while Carrie thinks everyone is laughing at her, in reality, it's only a select few. Everyone else is ''horrified'', and rightfully so.
* Tina getting a dose of LaserGuidedKarma. When people are trying to escape through the doors, she slaps a couple out of the way clearly trying to save herself. Cue basketball hoop coming loose and putting a stop to her.
* Miss Desjardin manages to keep her head during the prom destruction and rallies a few people to get out through the air vents. She also alerts people to get off the flooded floors when she sees that Carrie is planning to throw live wires into the water.
* Angela Bettis's performance of Carrie deserves lots of praise, as she had the hard task of following Sissy Spacek's Oscar-nominated turn in the 1976 version. She herself was a fan of the book and original film and gave a grand performance that many think is equal to Sissy Spacek's - and some even find better.
* Sue has witnessed the destruction on prom night, including the death of her boyfriend. She follows Carrie to her house, seeing a dead body on the floor and another one seemingly in the tub; Sue pulls out Carrie, administers CPR, and revives her. She also gets a fistful of Carrie's thoughts, learning that she wasn't in control of her actions during the rampage. How does Sue respond? By hiding Carrie, lying to the cops, and giving her a solution: move to another state under an assumed name. She also reassures Carrie that what happened wasn't her fault because she lost control. Unlike practically every version, this one has hope that Carrie will recover from what she did, and what happened to her.
