You Again
If you are looking for a fun movie, might I suggest you go see "You Again" - directed by Sig Ep Andy Fickman, with Gamma Phi Beta Kristin Chenoweth, Jamie Lee Curtis, Betty White, Sigourney Weaver - it's the little movie that (we hope) could. It's predicted to come in at #5 - I'd love to see it do better! (I know someone associated with the movie, so I'm biased  )

I have to admit, I want to see it. It looks funny and light, which is totally up my alley right now. Class is killing me and I need some escapism.

It's actually a "double Gamma Phi" movie! Cloris Leachman is in it as well, playing Helen. I can't wait to see it! LOL

HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe Yahoo! Movies rated it so low, I thought it was great! I'm so glad I went, even more glad I went alone. The theater was PACKED, no one could find seats together without making the whole row move. I saw a group of three have to split up, 2 found seats together and 1 had to sit by herself.
This is gonna be a DVD buy. The humor was amazing and there was SUCH an all-star cast. Some familiar faces: Reginald VelJohnson (Carl Winslow from Family Matters), Patrick Duffy and Christine Lakin (Frank and Al from Step-by-Step), Victor Garber (Professor Callahan from Legally Blonde), Jenna Leigh Green (Libby from Sabrina, the Teenage Witch). I thought it was a great idea to fill the cast with actors recognizable to those who were in the age group of the main characters.
Though it did make me feel a little old to realize that "way-back-when" movies are being made about the time I was in high school! Not cool!

I saw it last night. My experience was completely different than christiangirl's. LOL. The movie is cute and entertaining. My friend and I chuckled a few times but the audience was yelling and cracking up. I expected more funny from this movie than it could deliver.
Great cast:
You can't go wrong with Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Victor Garber. As much as I have always loved Betty White (not like the youngins who only started knowing her last year), some of her jokes were a bit strained. I really like Kristen Bell and she's adorable. Odette Yustman is a good actress who reminded me of Mandy Moore at first. Yustman is shaped like a boy with a pretty face--much prettier when she is fully clothed--that distracted me because I didn't expect her to be so thin and shapeless. LOL.
The writing was okay, predictable and lackluster altercations, and HORRIBLE dancing.

It made over its projected 8 mil (totals won't be till Monday, but as of Sunday a.m.) - and I had a great time.
Sometimes critics need to get the stick out of their butts - the crowd I was with laughed and stayed through the final credits.

I don't need to get the stick out of my butt and I agree with that critic. My friend and I didn't laugh half as much as the audience was laughing. We chalked it up to a certain type of comedy that not everyone will be amused by.
The movie was cute and entertaining for what it was but it wasn't engaging and funny enough. I wish I had followed my instinct and seen "Wall Street."

Well, since you aren't a critic I wasn't addressing you . I was referring to those critics who critique every movie as though it must be a work of cinematic art. Some movies are art - some are just entertainment. The negative reviews I read by and large seem to be angry at "You Again" for not being anything other than what it purports to be - a fun movie. Or, as you put it - "cute and entertaining".
And subjective opinons can't be wrong - you didn't enjoy it; I did. We're both right. And my review in tomorrow's paper will be positive!

Well, I posted that critic's review because I agree with it. The movie wasn't that funny and the actors did seem as though they were struggling to help a borderline crappy movie. I definitely wanted more than cute and entertaining.
This isn't about right or wrong. It's obvious that these are opinions. Now pardon me as I try to find that damn stick.

It was cute, it definitely had some great moments.
I actually saw it with a bunch of my Sig Delt sisters, since one of our alumna worked with the director, so he paid for our tickets! Only in LA.
