You Again has what so many other movies seem to have in recent years: a great cast wasted on a terribly boring, average script and a plot whose twists you can see coming from miles away. Betty White is tragically underused, Odette Yustman (I know, I didn't know who she was either) is almost painfully bad and Kristen Bell, as always tries her hardest to save the movie, but she just isn't believable as a 'nerd'. The movie is, however, saved just a tad by the warm chemistry between Jamie Lee Curtis and the always amazing Sigourney Weaver. The scenes between them are natural, funny, and at one point, even heart-warming, but always believable. Someone really needs to give Weaver a role that can win her an Oscar, because I really can't think of any actor more deserving than her.… Expand

Really getting sick of hollywood. I was dragged to this and found it repugnant. Terrible representation of what high school was really "like" in 2002. I was in high school in 2002 and it is NOTHING like what Hollywood says it is. Kristen Bell is hot, and she's a decent actor, but this entire movie was painful to watch. I laugh easy, and didn't laugh once at this one. If your girlfriend drags you to this (or are the girlfriend planning on dragging your significant other to this) DO NOT. You're wasting your money. Every last penny is better off going down the drain, or given to some random stranger, because that alone, will have more positive effect on your emotions than will this movie. Damn you Hollywood... it's only getting worse.… Collapse

An immeasurably stupid film proving that no matter how much talent is out there, idiot Hollywood executives will still green-light the simplest, moronic films for the idiocratic masses. I feel dumber after having seen this film.

It may have some unexpected cameos, but that doesn't cut it, and You Again is a horrific movie that isn't a romantic comedy or a chick flick... it's more of a horror movie, due to the fact that it's scary of how bad You Again is. My favorite part of the movie was the trailers. Even Betty White couldn't get a laugh, and this corny DIsney movie is not worth the money. It's not even worth the 10 mile drive to get to the theater. Avoid You Again.… Expand

Okay, so maybe it's because I saw it for free during a sneak preview, or maybe because I expected it to be completely lame that I was able to be somewhat pleasantly surprised and found I actually enjoyed it for the most part. I didn't expect greatness, so I wasn't disappointed that it was mediocre, but sometimes funny and sometimes even a little touching. If you are in the mood for a silly, occasionally funny Disney-fied movie, this one isn't too bad. Though, the friend I saw it with thought it was total crap, so maybe I was just in a good mood that night. :-)… Expand

I thought the movie was extremely funny. Betty White stole the whole thing! She had still got it after all these years. Kristen Bell was wonderful and has got the romantic comedy thing down to a T. I think it is worth a watch.

This movie was so much fun to watch! I saw it three times and and it was just as entertaining each viewing. The cast is amazing and they kept me laughing non-stop. The concept is so relatable - who among us hasn't dealt with a high school bully? It's a great film for all ages! If you haven't already, I highly recommend you check it out!

I was surprised by how sweet and funny this film was! We took our 13-year-old and realized the film not only entertained us but also provided us the opportunity to talk to her about the issue of bullying. The audience we were in actually clapped a few times. Can't remember the last time that happened in a movie. All in all I'd say it's a really entertaining family film.

The audience I saw this with was tearing up the place, clapping and laughing. And, of course, America's collective, darling grandma, Betty White, was a gem. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised.

Kristen Bell continues her delightful run from "Veronica Mars" to "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" to "When In Rome" into the open arms of America. She holds her own very well while leading a charming cast of veteran favorites. Kristen Bell for Prez!

I don't really understand the people who said it wasn't funny. The audience I saw it with really loved it. My husband and I really enjoyed it as well. Great cast, lots of fun.

The formula here is so overused it fails to be charming and just comes out as messy. There are a few moments of clarity brought to you by our star power houses of Sigorny Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Betty White make it worth a look.

Marty was the loser whom everyone made fun of in high school including Joanna, her soon-to-be sister in-law. In Marty's opinion, Joanna sing-handedly ruined her life in high school. So the thought of having a sister in-law that was your enemy in high school freaked Marty out. She tries everything to get her brother to realize that Joanna isn't who he thinks she is. Doing everything in her power including destroying her brother's wedding and breaking her brother (literally), Marty, of course realizes that she did the wrong thing. In the end, they get married and lived happily ever after. From the start of the movie, we see they all hated one another and by the end, predictably they made up. The so-called comedy is so dull for the most parts, that only the lowpoints scored giggles. The almost laughter that was probably the highest this comedy can get is between Betty White and Cloris Leachman near the end. You Again's characters are obviously popular, but like the characters themselves, the movie gets old with the predictable story and cheesy dialogue.

This movie is one I really enjoyed, the main character, her mom, and her moms rival were all characters I could relate to and felt sorry for, my only complaint is that you never feel like the main bully gets what she deserves, that flaw aside it is still a good movie.

Let's play a game I'd like to call "Word Association:" "She's the Man," "The Game-Plan," "Race to Witch Mountain," and the made-for-tv 'Lifetime' special "Wright v. Wrong;" any reactions? Do the words brainless. emasculating, flat, pulseless, insipid, stale, dull, enervating, and cinematic decadent come to mind? If so, you might be familiar with Mr. Fickman's recent work. One of his latest being yet another Disney-rom-com-meets ABC Family-Oxygen flatliner that tries to sneak in some praise with the likes of a few veteran actresses (Weaver and Curtis-oh and who could forget Betty White). But don't get your hopes to high yet, every director has a motive, and Fickman isn't any different---these women are casted for a reason. As the film progresses (or dissipates further into fatuousness), these gals serve as the final impediment of what seems like a continuing ensemble of nails in the coffin. So, worst case scenario you see the movie to assuage your "Alien" - "True Lies" - "Golden Girls" nostalgia. As for some of the other castings---Kristen Bell in particular---acting appears almost foreign to her in this film. I don't know if she was just looking for a quick payday or what, but I haven't seen her more "out of" her character than she is in "You Again." Half-baked, unattentive, uninterested, ill-conceived delineation of a PR-promotee whose high school unfortunates come to meet her once again. The premise, although some-what intriguing at first, follows close behind the "way overdone" genres of Hollywood today, so much that one might mistaken pieces of the screenplay for another; plagarism in moviemaking is satisfactory...all right...COPY + PASTE...yes, now I have a fully-functioning 90 minute rom-com! Now, let me throw in some pathetically selected cameos, a rendition of "Glee" in a hospital, and causeless catfights and you have "You Again." Almost forgot...slapstick humor---made just for you. Verdict: bouyant, lightheartedness that fails to asservate any sort of palpable feeling or pathos; heavily reliant on drollery, slapstick, con-melodramma, and hackneyed substance.… Expand

Honestly, this movie had a good premise, but was terrible in execution, Not funny, had way to many "full house music spots", and it was un-funny, boring. I sound like a broken record.

you again wasn't the most amazing movie out there but it was still a cute little film that to me made my family laugh. I have to admit the acting in it was sometimes to over dramatic, only because the actress herself couldn't fit into a "royal **** role because shes a true sweet heart (Odette Yustman). She matched the pretty, girl lovable, Joana but as J J she really didn't know how to be a bad girl. not only that but there are a few revisions of the screen play that could have been written better then maybe the movie wouldn't have turned out to look so fake at times. Other then that it was a cute film but it didn't turn out the way I expected it… Expand

Sadly the film has awful actors who don't have chemistry and it manages to put them all together and make a complete unfunny train wreck some people call a movie. I give this film 10%.

One of the worst metacritic ratings in my opinion. The movie is really funny, can have much cliches, but is funny. The trama is amazing, when I watching I feel a same sensation when I watch Prom. The trama is about the bullying, but be represented in a light mode, obviusly have some mistakes, and the story is interesting, watch again your worst enemy, they can explote funny situtations. And the cast, OMG! Betty White, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, Kristen Bell and Jamie Lee Curtis, wow, have a performance for this type of films, funny, not awesome, but funny, are really interesting. The screenplay is good, have some good ideas that don't be explored, but have a good development. The comedy situations are simple but good, and is great. I love You Again is really funny.… Expand

A movie with great actors and fun.
