You Again

Movie: You Again

Cast: Kristin Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Kristin Chenowith, Betty White, Victor Garber

Genre: Romantic Comedy

I saw it on: October 2, 2010

Synopsis: Marni’s (Kristin Bell) brother is marrying Joanna, her high school nemesis.  It also turns out that Marni’s aunt had a bitter high school feud with Joanna’s aunt.  Joanna has not changed and still treats Marni like crap – but only does it when no one can see.  Naturally, everyone thinks Marni is being petty and unfair when she complains of Joanna’s behavior.  When the aunt and the mother join the fun, things get really ugly.

Kristin Chenowith has a great role as a wedding planner.

My two cents: I had mixed feeling about this movie.  I get a little tired of movies where one character is so over-the-top evil but no one except a single victim seems able to notice it.  But, Kristin Bell is such a favorite of mine that she (along with Kristin Chenowith) rescued it for me.  If you get a chance to see it on TV, I would give it a shot.

If you see this movie, make sure you watch to the very end when Betty White and Cloris Leachman meet up.  That scene alone makes the movie worthwhile.
