\"You<\/a>
You Again starring Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Odette Yustman & Sigourney Weaver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Marni (Kristen Bell<\/a>) has transformed herself from the ugly and unpopular high school girl to a beautiful and successful PR professional. Since she is pretty certain her awful high school days are way over, she\u2019s more than happy to return home for the wedding of her older brother Will (James Wolk).<\/p>\n

So she gets the shock of her life when she finds out that he\u2019s marrying Joanna (Odette Yustman)<\/a>, the very girl who made Marni\u2019s life hell all those years ago.\u00a0 What\u2019s more shocking and disturbing for Marni is that Joanna claims to have become a much different and better person and Marni!<\/p>\n

Poor Marni has no allies in the house as her mom Gail (Jamie Lee Curtis) wants her to embrace the now and forgive Joanna\u2019s past.\u00a0 Of course Gail\u2019s optimistic \u201cpast is past\u201d attitude disappears when she meets Joanna\u2019s aunt Ramona (Sigourney Weaver<\/a>). As it turns out, Ramona is the very woman who made Gail\u2019s prom a nightmare. And it is Gail\u2019s turn to be frustrated, as Ramon is the ultra successful, ultra-rich, very pretty multi-lingual owner of a hotel chain. And everyone adores this cool aunt, including Marni.<\/p>\n

Can mother and daughter keep it together until the wedding? Or will disaster follow as Marni is pretty determined in proving to everyone that Joanna hasn\u2019t changed at all?<\/p>\n

**<\/p>\n

You Again is a romantic comedy from 2010, with the emphasis on comedy. \u00a0It is really fun for the most part, although some things just don\u2019t add up, even for comedy\u2019s sake. And the first half of the movie is a lot more fun than the second. Still, it is a great cast. We even have Victor Garber as Marni\u2019s father and Betty White<\/a> as her grandmother. Remember Victor Garber as Jack Bristow, a.k.a Sydney\u2019s dad from Alias<\/a>? If you don\u2019t, please watch him in one Alias episode at least. Then you\u2019ll know why I like watching him in a comedy so much.<\/p>\n

I really found Gail\u2019s lack of empathy \u2013 even after she finds herself as frustrated as her daughter- hilarious and very humane.<\/p>\n

On a note: Could the wedding planner be more annoying and Tim (Kyle Bornheimer) more of a loser? And am I the only one who thought Joanna\u2019s rehearsal dinner show totally stupid and not romantic?<\/p>\n

It could have been a little more original if Marni didn\u2019t get her high school crush (Sean Wing) in the end (it is not a spoiler, and u know it!), but hey, all in all, it is a very entertaining effort. It is not a should-see, but a could- see. And its biggest fault is that Betty White\u2019s role wasn\u2019t Betty White enough.<\/p>\n

Fun notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dwayne Johnson has a very small but entertaining part as the Air Marshall<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 70s and 80s duo Hall& Oates make an appearance as themselves.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Both Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis have co-starred with Mel Gibson in different movies. Sigourney Weaver co-starred with him The Year of Living Dangerously<\/a> and Jamie in Forever Young<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Currently 5.4 on IMDB.<\/p>\n

My verdict:<\/strong> 7 for the first half, 5.5 for the second.<\/p>\n
