You Again Movie Review | Local Movie Review

Rating: ★½☆☆☆

Thirty minutes into “You Again”, and a soft, lonely voice within me whispered, “You again.” This is a movie we see every year, a clichéd comedy composed of stupid people who are concocted by the idiotic nature of its screenwriters too lazy to think of better characters. The only advantage of this film from its equally unfunny counterparts is that this is actually occupied by capable actors, who unfortunately fail in the end. How they convinced Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Betty White to join the cast, I will never know.

Even the gorgeous Kirsten Bell is too good for this. She is a charming young lady who can also act (which can’t be said for all the charming young ladies in Hollywood), but all she is required to do is here is trip off ropes, fall of hills, and break plates. I’m pretty sure all household pets could do that, and I’d bet any self-respecting Labrador would turn this role down, but she’s agreed to be here anyway. May she find better use of her charm in future roles.
