Movie Reviews

Movie Review from EmpireOnline.com

You Again is the second wave in what Disney probably hoped would launch Kristen Bell as a Rom-Com Star. Sadly, the first assault was When In Rome… The good news is that You Again is better in comparison, but only just: a game, capable cast struggle with what’s basically a reheated stew of Mean Girls with chunks of other comedies’ tropes. Marni (Bell) is aghast to learn her brother (James Wolk) is marrying her old high-school tormentor (Odette Yustman). Then who should show up as the bride-to-be’s rich aunt (Sigourney Weaver)? Why, it’s only her mother’s former friend, with whom she shares a similarly troubled history!

Spotty high school zero Marni (Kristen Bell) suffers the usual teenage torments from the popular mean girls, led by cheerleader from hell Joanna (Cloverfield’s Odette Yustman). Flash-forward a dozen years, and Marni has successfully buried her past to become a high-powered PR exec. The morally dubious Joanna, on the other hand, has become Marni’s brother’s (James Wolk) fiancée. In any rational world, this would be nothing more than a slightly ironic twist but in You Again, it’s a veritable call to arms as Marni goes to great lengths to disrupt her brother’s nuptials and possibly his entire life, just to slake her thirst for teenage revenge.

Movie Review from Guardian.co.uk

A clever, perhaps even brilliant idea for a black comedy has here been slathered and stifled in a thick treacly layer of Disney-sentimental gloop. First-time screenwriter Moe Jelline probably conceived something much sharper than this, but with the help of producer-director Andy Fickman – who directed Race to Witch Mountain – Disney have turned what could have been a wicked little gem into a bland wedding comedy. The premise is great: Kristen Bell plays Marni, a bespectacled, spotty high-school loser who was brutally bulled at school by evil prom queen Joanna (Odette Yusmann); eight years later, with the encouragement of her gentle homemaker mom Gail (Jamie Lee Curtis) she’s lost the glasses and triumphantly survived as a babelicious, high-flying PR executive.

Movie Review from TimeOut.com

As a case study in bizarrely conflicted cinema, ‘You Again’ is fascinating. On one level, it’s a cosy, unashamedly bourgeois all-American wedding movie. On another it’s a fever-pitch psychodrama about guilt, self-loathing and ‘emotional terrorism’ crammed with loopy cameos and frenzied slapstick. This must be one of the weirdest films ever to bear the Disney brand. Kristen Bell plays Marni, a geek-turned-goddess who is horrified to learn that her beloved big brother is about to marry the über-bitch, Joanna (Odette Yustman), who made her high-school life a living hell.

Movie Review from Movies.com

This film is stone cold stupid and only deserving of life as an endlessly repeated ABC Family TV movie, so to review it in any real way is beside the point. Instead I’ll review 1939′s The Women, starring Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and Norma Shearer. That one’s about women who fight and bicker and backstab and insult each other in a way that is still considered somewhat evil and borderline misogynist. It’s also really, really funny. So watch that instead. It’s on TCM all the time. Any movie about ladies hating each other should do its best to be as witty and cruel as it was.

Movie Review from Telegraph.co.uk

It’s hard to redeem a movie as bubble-headed as You Again, a catfighty nuptial comedy about old enemies about to become part of each other’s extended family. It’s not that the idea’s terrible — in fact, the idea’s promising enough that a few scenes hit the target. But the film is an instant case of gormless oversell, thwacking us with the ridiculous sight of Kristen Bell in heavy, uglified mode – volcanic acne, bad hair, specs and braces – to explain her unpopularity at school.
