"You Again" is a romantic comedy that tackles high school rivalries but ultimately falls short. Marni discovers her brother is marrying her high school bully, Joanna, who never truly addresses her past actions. The film relies on slapstick humor, trivializing the impact of bullying. The ending, where Joanna faces no real consequences, feels unearned. A satisfying conclusion would involve Joanna apologizing sincerely. Dismissing the importance of this resolution reflects a troubling acceptance of unresolved bullying. "You Again" misses the opportunity to deliver meaningful lessons about forgiveness and growth, opting instead for a formulaic, unsatisfying ending.
