You Again (2010)

There's a great movie somewhere in there trying to get out, but while it has a few good moments, it doesn't really deliver on the promise of the premise and ends up squandering the talents of Kristen Bell and Sigourney Weaver. 

Potential problem: the end credits are the most visually interesting part of the film.  It's a romantic comedy, so it's not a killer.

Bigger problem: if Joanna is truly reformed, why does she seem to go out of her way to taunt Marni?  Why, because the writers couldn't figure out how to manufacture plausible conflict.  Moo.
