You Again is a 2010 romantic comedy film directed by Andy Fickman and starring Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Annable, and Betty White. The story is about a woman named Marni (Kristen Bell) who returns home to attend her brother's wedding only to find out that her childhood rival Joanna (Odette Annable) is the bride-to-be, and her old nemesis is now her sister-in-law. Things get complicated when Joanna's aunt, Ramona (Sigourney Weaver) turns out to be Marni's high school arch-nemesis as well. The movie begins with Marni, who has grown up to be a successful PR executive in Los Angeles, coming back to her hometown to attend her brother Will's (James Wolk) wedding. Marni is excited to see her family after so many years, but her excitement turns to horror when she discovers that her brother's fiancée is her old high school enemy Joanna. Marni and Joanna had a history of bullying each other in high school, but that was a long time ago, and both of them have moved on. However, Marni cannot get over the fact that Joanna is now about to become her sister-in-law. As the wedding preparations get underway, Marni reminisces about the past and starts plotting ways to sabotage the wedding so that Joanna and Will won't get married. Things get even more complicated when Ramona, Joanna's aunt, arrives for the wedding. Ramona turns out to be Marni's former high school nemesis, and both women quickly lock horns again. Ramona is still the same mean girl who used to torment Marni in high school, and she enjoys making Marni's life miserable. As the wedding approaches, Marni's attempts to sabotage it become more desperate, but she realizes that her feelings for her old rival Joanna are more complicated than she thought. Meanwhile, Joanna starts to see Marni in a different light and realizes that they have more in common than she initially thought. Throughout the movie, we see the different dynamics between the characters, including Marni's relationship with her mother Gail (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her grandmother Bunny (Betty White). Gail is a successful businesswoman who has always been proud of Marni, but she also envies her daughter's success. Bunny is a fun-loving woman who provides some much-needed comedy relief. You Again is a feel-good movie that focuses on the importance of forgiveness and how people can grow and change over time. The movie also addresses the issue of bullying and how it can have long-lasting effects on people's lives. Kristen Bell delivers a fantastic performance as Marni, and her chemistry with the rest of the cast is palpable. Odette Annable is equally impressive as Joanna, and the two actresses have great on-screen chemistry. Sigourney Weaver steals the show as Ramona, and her character is both hilarious and menacing at the same time. Overall, You Again is an entertaining movie that will make you laugh and leave you feeling good. It's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys romantic comedies and is looking for some light-hearted entertainment.
