You Again (2010)

All Critics (94) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (78) | DVD (9)

Yes, this is shrill, crass mainstream Hollywood product, but it has a tendency towards lurid kitsch freakout which makes it not just relentlessly entertaining, but borderline subversive.

It's so inconsistent and broadly drawn that wrongheaded is the operative term.

The veteran actresses' easy rapport and sheer exuberance are the only real fresh spots in a story you'll recognize from a mile away.

How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways. This is an epic failure on every level.

A frothy end-of-summer treat.

Relentlessly shrill and awkward.

Pretty much the end of Disney's attempt to make Kristen Bell "America's Sweetheart."

...the majority of this stuff wouldn't pass muster on even the hackiest of sitcoms...

Reel Film Reviews

Featuring caricatures instead of characters, "You Again" is a tired and formulaic comedy with few funny moments.

There's hardly one moment of surprise or originality in You Again.

This pointless trek to Not Funny chose to be as nice as possible every step of the way. And that just makes no sense.

Like staring at whorehouse wallpaper: it's sort of interesting, but you have a strong feeling you might be wasting your time. [Blu-ray]

All soft furnishings and gleaming teeth, it's inoffensive, made for in-flight viewing...

Appropriately titled, You Again won't win any prizes for originality but it does deliver just enough girly fun.

Henry Fitzherbert

Daily Express

Joining the rank ranks of The Hottie And The Nottie, Gigli, Licence To Wed and any film where Matthew McConaughey gets his groove on with a girl is yet another unspeakably awful rom-com.

Daily Mirror [UK]

In this ditzy whirl nothing is pushed too far -- the bad aren't really bad, they're all sorry. And the assumption that high school is where it all happens is ringingly endorsed.

This is London

You Again may have some very experienced faces in the cast, but the end product still turns out to be disappointingly cliched and trite.

Catherine Jones

Liverpool Echo

It's left to old pros Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver to add class to the proceedings, which they would if they weren't wasted on tedious slapstick.

Sun Online

The worst example of torture-by-chick-flick since Bride Wars.

November 11, 2010 Full Review

Christopher Tookey

Daily Mail [UK]

A clever, perhaps even brilliant idea for a black comedy has here been slathered and stifled in a thick treacly layer of Disney-sentimental gloop.

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian [UK]

Matters get a little saccharine and conciliatory near the end, but so do Shakespeare's comedies. Take what you get and enjoy it.

Curtis and Weaver put on their game faces, but the script is consistently intent on embarrassing them, and it doesn't spare Kristin Chenoweth, forced to trot out her sparkly-pixie routines from Glee as a super-duper wedding planner.
