Scott’s Review #510<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed November 4, 2016<\/p>\n

Grade: C<\/strong><\/p>\n

If not for the cast (Jamie Lee Curtis, Betty White, and Sigourney Weaver) You Again (2010) would have been a bad experience and a dimwitted, by-the-numbers comedy, but the talent involved has helped matters greatly.<\/p>\n

This is not meant to parlay much credit to the film.<\/p>\n

As it is, it is not a great film, and quite silly and dumb, but the cast successfully turns it into a light, fun, dumb movie instead of solely drivel- with a less likable cast this would have undoubtedly been the case.<\/p>\n

Bell is not my favorite actress, but alas she seems to be currently receiving star turns in these types of films.<\/p>\n

The premise is basic and tried and true- A twenty-eight-year-old “beautiful” woman (Kristen Bell) who was an ugly duckling in high school, returns to her hometown for her brother’s wedding and his fianc\u00e9 turns out to be her high school nemesis.<\/p>\n

It is a standard Hollywood comedy cliched with typical gags, and a “we have seen this before” story.<\/p>\n

A gripe- Kristen Bell is a cute, sort of all-American, girl next door, but I would be remiss if I did not point out she is not the beauty they make her out to be.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the aforementioned cast, and the wit that Curtis and Weaver bring to their rivalry (as mothers of the respective fianc\u00e9 and Bell’s character- they were high school rivals a generation before), You Again (2010) does get some meager credit.<\/p>\n

Not much, but some.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
