You Again Reviews

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1.0/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: C

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.

You Again has its heart in the right place, but it's artless, unaccomplished, and contrived.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

The film strikes a slapstick tone that never quite catches on, and it's embarrassing for just about everyone involved.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

There are very few laughs, too much stupid slapstick, and I hated the way it turns schmaltzy-sweet by the end.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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

Full Review

The movie is so laboriously contrived in every atom of its being that the only interest is in seeing if the characters can avoid the destinies decreed for them by ancient formulas.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

It is under-written, running out of steam -- and ideas -- long before it is over.

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Those bemoaning the lack of quality female roles in modern-day Hollywood will find a key cause celebre in You Again, which manages to squander three generations of formidable actresses.

Full Review

An oddly unpleasant movie, one that aims itself at a female audience, then proceeds to humiliate its female characters by making them petty, ugly and silly.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

Picture the eager moviegoer, lover of all things Harry/Sally, bounding to her seat. Picture her disappointment when, realizing both 'rom' and 'com' are a no-show, she sums up her disgust with a sneering, 'You. Again.'

Full Review | Original Score: 1/10

So totally, inanely, numbingly awful is the DOA comedy You Again that you can actually see A-list performers like Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kristin Chenoweth flailing through every scene...

Full Review | Original Score: 0/5

An extremely versatile and talented cast struggles mightily to make something funny that simply isn't.

Full Review

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

Full Review | Original Score: 0/5

A laugh-free script that's underscored by a nasty mean streak...

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4
