  You Again 2010

  ★★½ Watched 07 Jun 2023

  Viewed on Disney +

  I guess I had higher hopes for You Again (2010) considering the incredible cast, and wonderful premise.

  What disappointed me the most was the lack of genuine belly laughs the film brought out.
  Don't get me wrong, I chuckled here and there, but nowhere near the level I thought I would.

  Maybe the writer, Moe Jelline, thought just the premise alone was funny enough to sustain the film throughout, and didn't feel the need to write many "jokes".

  I did enjoy You Again (2010) overall, but I wanted more.

  I think Disney is making a terrible mistake by trying to virtually erase Song Of The South (1946) from existence.
  Is it racially insensitive? Of course it is.
  It's a film from the forties that takes place during the Civil War in Georgia.
  Disney is trying to sweep this one under the rug and try to maintain a squeaky clean image. This is an impossible task.
  If Disney wants to be politically correct they need to get…

  Marty's first exploitation film is also his last.
  According to IMDB: After he finished this film, Martin Scorsese screened the film for John Cassavetes. Cassavetes, after seeing this film, hugged Scorsese and said, "Marty, you've just spent a whole year of your life making a piece of shit. It's a good picture, but you're better than the people who make this kind of movie. Don't get hooked into the exploitation market, just try and do something different."…
