Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, Victor Garber, Betty White, James Wolk
‘You Again’ is a typical romantic comedy that doesn’t offer anything new or special, but is still entertaining and provides a few laughs.
Kristen Bell is Marni, a recently promoted VP of a PR firm who’s heading home for her brother Will’s (James Wolk) wedding. Unfortunately she finds out en route that her sister in law to be is her tormentor from high school, Joanna (Odette Yustman). It turns out Joanna’s Aunt Mona (Sigourney Weaver) is Marni’s mom Gail’s (Jamie Lee Curtis) ex-best friend from high school. Let the games begin.
‘You Again’ is a simple and predictable film, but is entertaining nonetheless. You pretty much know exactly what’s coming around every corner and most of the laughs are forced, but you may still find yourself laughing occasionally, and it’s not a total loss thanks to the talented cast who are great fun to watch, including Victor Garber as Marni’s dad and Betty White as Grandma. The all-star cast and their excellent and humorous interactions are what make the movie enjoyable; Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver always shine, and their back and forth as rivals/best friends is a highlight.
‘You Again’ is just another romantic comedy with run-of-the-mill plot and jokes, but an excellent cast makes this film worth a peek if the genre is your thing.
