You Again : Movie Review


Certainly you never forgive or forget the school bully who tormented you.

You also probably don't hurl dishes at that person a decade after the incidents have passed. Or turn an argument into a goopy food fight.

That setup is at the heart of the harmless, predictable but not-very-funny romp that is You Again.

There are a few good laughs and a surprisingly good cast in this surprise-free revenge comedy, in which Marni (Kristen Bell) learns that her cruel high school nemesis, Joanna (Odette Yustman) — or "Satan's spawn" as Marni refers to her — is marrying her beloved brother. The writers never bother to give Will (James Wolk) a personality, perhaps on the assumption that "nice, handsome guy" would be sufficient for a chick flick. It's not.
