Review of You Again (2010) by Ana B — 07 Apr 2014

Comedy telling us the story of Marni, a successful PR that has just received a promotion. However she had a very tough time in High School as she was badly bullied by a clique of girls leaded but cold hearted JJ. Fast forward a few years and JJ is now reformed goody two shoes Joanna, a nurse that has fallen in love and intends to marry Marni's older brother Will. Marni travels back home for the wedding but will Joanna apologize to her? Is Marni ready to forgive the misery Joanna put her through all those years ago?

A believable and often funny story of bullying and female rivalry, the film dissects Marni's emotional upheaval trying to reconcile her intense distrust for Joanna with the love she feels for her brother.

I find it a shame that the likeliness of the story falls apart after min. 60, from then on the movie becomes stereotyped and it leads to an unbelievable and extremely cheesy finale. It is so cliché that it actually makes you cringe with embarrassment. I resent it because right until then it was appealing and easy to relate to, it ends up being a far too predictable Hollywood chick flick.
