I got to admit, the first few rounds went to Joanna. She played some very good hands. Very good, but I'm glad. It made me realize that we have to take it a step up. Take it to a whole new level.

Whoa. "We"? No, she's your arch nemesis. I'm not going to be part of your evil plan to bring down Joanna.

Marni:
I'll give you 20 bucks.

Done.

User Review

What happens in high school should stay in high school

Rating: 4/10


(Synopsis) Marni (Kristen Bell), a new Vice President of a large Public
Relations Agency, is returning home for her brother Will's (James Wolk)
wedding. Marni discovers that his bride Joanna (Odette Yustman) is her
former arch nemesis in high school who made her life a living hell.
Joanna is now an angel in her brother's eyes, absolutely not the
memories that Marni has of her tormentor. All of this is compounded by
the fact that the bride's wealthy Aunt Romona (Sigourney Weaver) flies
into town and comes face to face with Marni's mother Gail (Jamie Lee
Curtis), who it turns out has an old high school score to settle with
Gail. Marni must protect her brother by showing him Joanna's true
colors before he makes the biggest mistake in his life. The claws are
about to come out.

(My Comment) The movie itself is not that appealing as a romantic
comedy, but it had a great female cast. The storyline is based on a
small premise that what happens in high school lives with you forever
which is absurd. Kristen Bell's performance as the pathetic pimply face
girl with low self esteem, pressed into getting revenge, was right on
target, and Odette Yustman as her rival was also good. I think the
writers wasted the great talents of Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee
Curtis. However, Betty White steals every scene she is in. Patrick
Duffy and someone else (I won't say) make a cameo appearance. After
about 45 minutes, the story was a little boring, but it picked up by
the end. The lesson that is taught by this story is that you must learn
from your past and everyone is entitled to a second chance, "maybe"?
