You Again

Wow, Kristen Bell as the quiet sister full of childhood angst didn't really grab me. To me, she didn't have a chance in her role and it showed...maybe it's just me. Odette Yustman, on the other hand, was absolutely charming. She reminded me heavily of Megan Fox... plus she was much better and more beautiful than Megan. But what didn't sit well with me at all was the awkward "affair" between the mother and the aunt – somewhat unnecessary and unsuccessful. Otherwise I recommend it for moments of boredom... it's better than staring at the wall :-). A tiny bit over 2.5 stars. (02/08/2011)

A not very funny comedy that mainly came down to the unimaginative nature of the screenwriters. Because if an hour and three-quarters long film is going to benefit from one or two lousy ideas over and over again, something is wrong. Yet the film has the acting potential to make it a much better spectacle. First of all, I would have liked to see Kristen Bell in a better role, because her (not only) comedic talent could not be overlooked, and more could have been extracted from the clash between Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis, who unfortunately had no choice but to throw angry glances at each other and pretend like nothing was happening. A two-star shame. (07/10/2011)

I was a little overwhelmed by the authors’ urge to teach a moral lesson and reach a mutual understanding. If it hadn’t been for the oh-so-sincere and believable self-reflection, I would have given it three stars. (12/28/2019)
