You know, there really are not that many substantial comedies in circulation right now. Don't get me wrong, I am not calling this movie substantial, but when looking for light hearted flick, this one did fine. All of those who were nerds in high school had one or two popular girls who we didn't get along with and so is the case in this film. Marni (Kristen Bell) is a young successful executive who has come home for her brother's wedding. She discovers, that he is marrying the one mean girl from high school, Joanna, who tormented her the most. What's a girl to do? Additionally, we find out that her mother (Jamie Lee Curtis) attended high school with Joanna's aunt (Sigourney Weaver) and they too had a tumultuous relationship. There is a lot of slapstick and falling down and spilling things and breaking things and of course Betty White rules the world, but in the end of course it turns out to be a feel-good movie and they all lived happily ever after. Not my number one choice, but a lighthearted silly little romp that is entertaining enough.
