Review of You Again (2010) by Atul R — 27 May 2011
The first time I reviewed this, I was a little harsh. Upon subsequent viewings, I've come to enjoy it despite its flaws. A decent premise for a comedy, loaded with a good cast (including the combined hotness of Odette Yustman and Kristen Bell!). But the film doesn't quite live up to the sum of its parts. There are several sequences I'm sure the filmmakers thought were absolutely HILARIOUS... but they weren't. The dance rehearsal dance-off, the entire rehearsal dinner toast, any scene with Betty White, a lot of unnecessary slapstick.... Those bits just fall flat, yet go on forever. I enjoyed the movie, but it was trying way too hard in parts.
Unfortunately, it was another financial flop from Kristen Bell. As much as I want her to break through and be a star, I'm not sure how many more chances she'll get to pick a worthwhile starring project.
