First Hit: Generally a very poor film with a few splashes of laughter.
The moment this film starts you know how it will end. Kristen Bell plays Marie who was bullied by the cool girls at school. They played mean tricks on her and she was labeled a Loser.
The leader of bullying girls was Joanna (played by Odette Yustman) who was very mean and picked on her all through high school. In current time they meet again as Joanna is going to marry Marie’s brother. When they meet prior to the wedding Joanna pretends to not recognize Marie.
However as they spend time together they both know their history and Marie makes one final direct plea for Joanna to say she’s sorry for her past actions. Joanna refuses and Marie gets revenge. In an attempt to make it more interesting Joanna’s Aunt Ramona (played by Sigourney Weaver) and Marie’s mother Gail (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) had a falling out in high school which hadn’t been repaired.
So now we have two sets of women who have a grudge against each other. It does get worse but I won’t share that as well. The goal of the film is forgiveness but the film is so poor the aim of the film barely stays with you a day after watching it.
Bell is cute, has a great smile and is engaging enough and this film was a waste of her energy. The same goes to Yustman and especially to accomplished actors like Weaver and Curtis. There are some funny lines in the script written by Moe Jelline but overall the script is childish and Andy Fickman directed it with this sort of energy.
Overall: This film is forgettable the moment one leaves the theater.
