You Again...sort of sucked

So, I was hoping that people were wrong when they said that "You Again" sucked, but I have to sort of agree with them. The weird Disney-esque music didn't fit at times, the writing was kind of cruddy, and the plot could have been better; but I did enjoy some things. I think that all of the actors played their parts well, even if their parts weren't very good. Some of the music was great and fit the scenes very well. And I will agree with the reviews and say that there were no real laugh-out-loud moments, but the reason that I didn't laugh out loud was because I was too busy giggling to myself every time something awkward happened. It wasn't awkward in the bad way but rather the kind of "this is exactly how it would happen in real life" kind of awkward. I think that the real problem was that instead of having all of the characters be exaggerated they tried to make a comedy using normal people. There were some characters that were a little over the top but honestly I know that people like that exist and they weren't weird enough to be caricatures. Overall there were no clear bad guys or good guys but I think that if there was one more iteration of the script that this movie could have been so much better. Save your money and watch it when it comes out on Netflix. The only reason to see it in the theatre is if you want to support the actors in the movie. Saying all of that, I will still admit that I have seen far worse movies than "You Again".
