You Again is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. You Again gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. History -- make that high school -- may repeat itself when Marni learns that Joanna, the mean girl from her past, is set to be her sister-in-law. Before the wedding bells toll, Marni must show her brother that a tiger doesn't change its stripes. On Marni's side is her mother, while Joanna's backed by her wealthy aunt. Kristen Bell and Jamie Lee Curtis lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2010. The timing in You Again is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in You Again. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Kristen Bell anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
