It's light and it's fun, with a bit of drama. Not sure what else people expect from a romantic comedy.

You Again is a very basic cliché concept but is still played out well. It tells a great story with great actors and actresses. Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver did a wonderful job at playing their parts. The thing I didn't understand was how it seemed Marni (Kristen Bell) was in the wrong for trying to reveal Joanna's (Odette Yustman) true identity. The whole movie Joanna tried to play it like nothing ever happened and then she ended up becoming that same bully again. I thought that was just cruel. Marni deserved that apology right from the start. Overall, I enjoyed it and would watch it again.

I don't like how this movie just made something simple out of a topic so severe like high school bullying. I suffered from this myself because I'm an Asian American and no, I could never forgive what that bully monster did. I also know that many who bullied in high school are NOT sorry at all.

I'm also disappointed at the protagonist's brother for being insensitive. Heck, I'm pretty sure I'd kick my fiancée to the curb if I found out what kind of monster she was.

The lone thing I liked about this movie was the performance by Hall & Oates at the end.

Skip this turkey.

Sure You Again isn't Oscar-material, but I don't think it was intended to be. But if you watch it keeping in mind that is a light-hearted, fun summer comedy for the family, you will appreciate it, mainly because of the strong and hilarious female cast. Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristen Bell and Odette Yustman all shine on-screen in their own ways, yet complement each other so well. The chemistry of the cast contributes to the film's charm. I was especially impressed with Kristen Bell because this is the first comedy/chick-flick I've personally seen her in, and she was really cute and funny! She had a lot of charm, great comedic timing, and I kept thinking in my head how gorgeous she is all throughout the movie. She's a really versatile actress. The veterans, Sigourney, Jamie Lee, and Betty White were all hilarious as well. If you're looking for a fun, positive family film with lots of laughs, you've found your movie.

(Synopsis) Marni (Kristen Bell), a new Vice President of a large Public Relations Agency, is returning home for her brother Will's (James Wolk) wedding. Marni discovers that his bride Joanna (Odette Yustman) is her former arch nemesis in high school who made her life a living hell. Joanna is now an angel in her brother's eyes, absolutely not the memories that Marni has of her tormentor. All of this is compounded by the fact that the bride's wealthy Aunt Romona (Sigourney Weaver) flies into town and comes face to face with Marni's mother Gail (Jamie Lee Curtis), who it turns out has an old high school score to settle with Gail. Marni must protect her brother by showing him Joanna's true colors before he makes the biggest mistake in his life. The claws are about to come out.

(My Comment) The movie itself is not that appealing as a romantic comedy, but it had a great female cast. The storyline is based on a small premise that what happens in high school lives with you forever which is absurd. Kristen Bell's performance as the pathetic pimply face girl with low self esteem, pressed into getting revenge, was right on target, and Odette Yustman as her rival was also good. I think the writers wasted the great talents of Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis. However, Betty White steals every scene she is in. Patrick Duffy and someone else (I won't say) make a cameo appearance. After about 45 minutes, the story was a little boring, but it picked up by the end. The lesson that is taught by this story is that you must learn from your past and everyone is entitled to a second chance, "maybe"? (Touchstone Pictures, Run Time 1:45, Rated PG)(4/10)
