Synopsis: Successful PR pro Marni heads home for her older brother's wedding and discovers that he's marrying her high school arch nemesis, who's conveniently forgotten all the rotten things she did so many years ago. Then the bride's jet-setting aunt bursts in and Marni's not-so-jet-setting mom comes face to face with her own high school rival.
Starring: Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, Victor Garber
Directed by: Andy Fickman
U.S. Rating: PG
I would compare You Again with a painful mix of teen films played by mature and adult people. It was like watching Mean Girls with a touch of Bring It On played by inmature grand parents... Something like that.
The film starts with the tough life of Marni (Kristen Bell) during high school. Marni, an acne-riddled high school senior with glasses and braces is being tormented and bullied by Joanna, the cheer leaders group leader and her friends. Being so insecured about herself and what she can be and achieve, Marni video tapes her thoughts and situation at school. She hates Joanna, she can't help it.
Years later, that young, ugly, insecure Marni is history. She became a beautifu, gorgeous and higly successful professional. She's invited to her brother's wedding, but on the flight home, she find out the girl that is about to marry her brother is Joanna, that girl from high school that made her feel and go through so horrible things.
Joanna seems to be different, not the bully girl from high school. She's now involved in some important volunteer work, being sweet and careful about her new future family. Marni can't accept that change. In the other hand, Gail (Marni's mother - Jamie L Curtis), a cheer leader legend in high school meets Joanna's aunt, Ramona, who's the closest family member invited for the wedding. Ramona is a very successful business woman, but what Gail's family doesn't know is that Hail and Ramona had a history. After being best friends in high school, Gail couldn't forgive Ramona, who pushed her to the pool at Prom, right in front of the love of her life. She couldn't forget that past. When they saw each other, they inmediately brought that old revenge and, as well as their daugther and niece, they will try to hurt and do whatever it takes to beat each others.
At the end, Marni and Joanna, as well as Gail and Ramona, recognize the long road they have crossed and how much they've changed. It helped them to put all those old bad feelings and live their new lives and friendship.
Honestly, it had a very few short scenes and script lines that brought some good smiles to my face. But the truth is that it was a poor film, not funny at all. It was literally a waste of such an amazing cast.
I would rate this movie with a 1/5

Enjoy it!... Watch it!
It was strange seeing Betty White portrayed as an old house dress wearing granny. One of my favorite actors when it comes to physical comedy is Kyle Bornheimer. I was hoping he would have plenty of opportunities to make me laugh and I wasn’t disappointed. Blockbuster was never my first choice in the past but since my free mail membership has come into my life I’m all for Blockbuster. I got it free with my new DISH Network employee account but it’s free for anyone too. http://bit.ly/jYtohY
