Review of You Again

You Again (2010)
Likable cast but loses steam fast
24 September 2011
FIrstly on a positive note it is good to see the lovely ladies. Sigourney has a role that's actually suited to her - she hasn't really done this kind of high powered woman since "Working Girl". Jamie is a bit frightful looking but she always was a bit old looking for her age. Betty White has a small role. The leads are likable and attractive. Kristen Bell is good as the central tormented girl - she's quite versatile. Odette Yustman is quite foxy as the mean girl. She is a both attractive and good actress better than her lookalike Megan Fox. James Wolk is good as the clueless object of her affections. Victor Garber is a bit out of place. The main problem is the dialog isn't well written. The words aren't witty or clever and quite cringe inducing. The painful scenes are dragged out and there is more unpleasantness than comedy. In fact the funny moments are few and far between for a comedy. Even a food cast can't keep it from being boring from about half way on. Watch it if you like any of the leads but prepared to be disappointed.
