Kathleen Murphy, MSN Movies: So totally, inanely, numbingly awful is the DOA comedy You Again that you can actually see A-list performers like Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kristin Chenoweth flailing through every scene... Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: There is not a laugh to be found in this rancid, misogynistic revenge comedy. Read more
Lisa Rosman, Time Out: It's so inconsistent and broadly drawn that wrongheaded is the operative term. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: You again? Another dismissible chick flick that revolves around a wedding and wastes a handful of good actresses by making them behave in a way that no recognizable person would? Read more
Keith Phipps, AV Club: Even the best performers can only do so much to elevate mediocre material. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: There are no surprises here, just a by-the-numbers comedy that's better, and funnier, than it has a right to be, thanks to the efforts of the actors in it. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: This is another miserable movie about women at war over nonsense. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: Betty White, playing yet another dirty old lady, hardly elevates the proceedings, in which otherwise reasonable women settle petty scores by flinging pea soup and chinaware. Read more
Lana Berkowitz, Houston Chronicle: A frothy end-of-summer treat. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: Relentlessly shrill and awkward. Read more
Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly: The veteran actresses' easy rapport and sheer exuberance are the only real fresh spots in a story you'll recognize from a mile away. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: You Again unfortunately perpetuates all the worst cliches about women being insecure, petty, spiteful, competitive and cruel, and it does it in the name of comedy -- which is a problem, because it's pretty much never funny. Read more
Andrew Barker, Variety: Those bemoaning the lack of quality female roles in modern-day Hollywood will find a key cause celebre in You Again, which manages to squander three generations of formidable actresses. Read more
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter: An extremely versatile and talented cast struggles mightily to make something funny that simply isn't. Read more
Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times: A parallel track for two generations of women to play out petty grudges and pratfall their way through the mud and muck to the inevitable group hug. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: This is the sort of story that relies from its outset on the fact that people have decided not to tell the truth that would have saved everyone a lot of grief and distress. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Such a stinker that the only way to improve it would be for Disney to run the negative and all of the prints through an industrial shredder. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: What a waste of talented actresses. Read more
Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com: How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways. This is an epic failure on every level. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The movie is so laboriously contrived in every atom of its being that the only interest is in seeing if the characters can avoid the destinies decreed for them by ancient formulas. Read more
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: In the constipated comedy You Again, a bullied young woman's reluctance to confront an old enemy produces some flatulent laughs, but by the time the movie lets loose, it's built up such a toxic aura that it's hard to embrace. Read more
Greg Quill, Toronto Star: A laugh-free script that's underscored by a nasty mean streak... Read more
