Movie #316 ........................."You Again"

Movie #316 "You Again" had a lot of good stuff in it ----- the entire cast is all very competent and fun to watch, from Kristin Chenoweth as the salsa teacher, Kristin Bell, whom I have liked since Veronica Mars days, Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis, always fun to watch, and esp. in dancing scenes, the perennial Betty White, and the groom who has these big brown eyes. I didn't know Odette Yustman, but she seemed the only weak link -----even Dad (Victor Garber, of Sweeney Todd fame) and the little bro were quite funny in their small amount of screen time. I also liked most of the script ---- it seemed somewhat believable..............that is, until the hoaky ending ---- from the plate throwing on out, could have been less exaggerated and more grounded in reality, and with a better ending , this film would have been rated a 4 or 5 with me. As it is, it was a little better than average for a comedy and offered quite a few laughs. And it gets you thinking about high school experiences, high school friends, competition with friends, etc. Enjoyable, and not a lot of low, off color humor at all!





Average rating: 3.787
I would give it 3.6
You Again
