It has once again been a long time since I posted a blog, so I thought I would do a little review of the movie I watched last night. I remember when I saw the trailer for You Again I really wanted to watch it because of the cast. I had since forgotten it until a few days ago when I was adding dvds to my Netflix queue and saw it. I put it at the top of my list and last night I finally got to watch it. It stars Kristen Bell as Marni who was picked on in high school by everyone mainly the head cheerleader. Fast forward years later and she's very successful. She's flying home for her brother's wedding only to find out he's marrying the girl who tormented her in high school. Her parents are played by Jamie Lee Curtis and Victor Garber and grandmother played by Betty White. As the story unfolds you find out the bride to be Joanne's aunt, played by Sigourney Weaver, went to school with Marni's mother, and they had their own drama. The movie was really funny and done well. I also have to mention that the amazing Kristen Chenowith is in the movie as a dance instructor. I thought the movie did a good job of capturing the feelings that we have even as adults if we've dealt with bullying in school. One thing that really impressed me is that the movie is rated PG; there was no profanity at all. I find that so refreshing in a time when almost every movie has major cussing in it unless it is geared to a young audience. As my husband said to me, this movie is a good example to show youth about bullying. It shows how hurtful bullying is, but also how you hurt yourself when you don't let things go. I highly recommend this movie and I give it a solid 5 out of 5 stars.
