Successful PR pro Marni (Kristen Bell) heads home for her older brother's wedding and discovers that he's marrying her high school arch nemesis (Odette Yustman) who's conveniently forgotten all the rotten things she did so many years ago. Then the bride's jet-setting aunt (Sigourney Weaver) bursts in and Marni's not-so-jet-setting mum (Jamie Lee Curtis) comes face to face with her own high school rival. The claws come out and old wounds are opened in this crazy comedy about what happens when you're reunited with the one person you'd like to forget. (Disney / Buena Vista)

Wow, Kristen Bell as the quiet sister full of childhood angst didn't really grab me. To me, she didn't have a chance in her role and it showed...maybe it's just me. Odette Yustman, on the other hand, was absolutely charming. She reminded me heavily of Megan Fox... plus she was much better and more beautiful than Megan. But what didn't sit well with me at all was the awkward "affair" between the mother and the aunt – somewhat unnecessary and unsuccessful. Otherwise I recommend it for moments of boredom... it's better than staring at the wall :-). A tiny bit over 2.5 stars. ()
Kristen Bell is honestly the only reason to watch this movie. You Again is the perfect example of how not to make a film—it's not funny, not interesting, and pretty forgettable. There are a couple of scenes that are mildly amusing, but that's about it. But Dwayne Johnson's quick cameo as The Rock was great. ()
I was a little overwhelmed by the authors’ urge to teach a moral lesson and reach a mutual understanding. If it hadn’t been for the oh-so-sincere and believable self-reflection, I would have given it three stars. ()
A not very funny comedy that mainly came down to the unimaginative nature of the screenwriters. Because if an hour and three-quarters long film is going to benefit from one or two lousy ideas over and over again, something is wrong. Yet the film has the acting potential to make it a much better spectacle. First of all, I would have liked to see Kristen Bell in a better role, because her (not only) comedic talent could not be overlooked, and more could have been extracted from the clash between Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis, who unfortunately had no choice but to throw angry glances at each other and pretend like nothing was happening. A two-star shame. ()
At first I didn't understand the low rating here, but after watching it I have to agree. I would give it a clear 3* just for the female ensemble - but unfortunately I won't go over that threshold. At certain points, some of the characters got on my nerves so much that I would have poured the pea soup on them too (I think). Who absolutely did not disappoint, however, was Betty White – she's pulling ninety, but ironically she was at her best here. A film packed from head to toe with American clichés and familiar faces, to which I give 2* for the cast 1* for the great soundtrack. ()
