You Again is about a high-powered PR professional discovers that her brother is about to marry the woman who made her high school life a living hell in this comedy. Starring Kristen Bell and Jamie Lee Curtis.
I've heard many bad things about this movie. So, I decided to avoid it. But my mum rented it out of the blue and I thought, "Eh, why not?"
It wasn't as bad as other people say it is. Of course, to be fair, I did pause to go for lunch during the movie so that could've been a factor. I mean, it's pretty much clean comedy (no swearing, AMAZING!) with a few gags here and there. Some physical humour involved.
To be honest, I didn't find the movie funny... at all. I could just tell the jokes from a mile away. The jokes are extremely cliche or they just fall flat on the face. I really don't remember any time in the movie where I actually laughed. And just because you get Betty White as some sexy cougar doesn't equal to comedy gold.
The acting was fine. Nothing much to say. It was just... fine. Though, I did like the Rock's cameo. It was a very cute moment in the beginning.
But I have to give the movie some credit: They do attempt the whole "3-dimensional" character which I always appreciate in films. The "evil" character was not all out evil at all. Everyone had their reasons for being mean so, it's cool. Another thing I would give the movie credit for was that they didn't make Betty White this old lady that spouts vulgarities. Honestly, people, that's not funny. It's just sad to see them treating Betty White like that.
Overall, it was a pretty passable, extremely forgettable film. It was entertaining while it lasted but it wasn't funny. Period.
