What critics compared You Again to
"Paul" isn't particularly peppy so much as slight and laid-back, and it only loses more steam by the third act as Blythe Danner (2010's " Little Fockers ") enters the frame as a woman from Paul's past and Sigourney Weaver (2010's " You Again ") finally shows her face for a wasted climactic walk-on.
In supporting turns, Kristin Chenoweth (2008's " Four Christmases ") stands out in a role that feels tailor-made for her?that of over-the-top, southern-fried wedding planner Georgia King?and Betty White (2009's " The Proposal ") typically classes things up further as barb-slinging Grandma Bunny.
The cast also includes Betty White in a small role as Marni's grandmother, but her presence feels like an afterthought to capitalize on the actress' career resurgence after last summer's hit The Proposal.
