When I first saw the movie posters for You Again, I thought it was another one of those Big/Vice Versa/Freaky Friday/21 Again/13 Going on 30-style body switch fantasies involving mothers and daughters swapping places, getting into awkward quasi-sexual moments with teenagers, and learning something in the process.
Apparently, though, it has nothing to do with metaphysical crises but instead the horrors of reliving the worst parts of high school. Which, actually for most people, may be the same thing.
The official synopsis: For Marnie (Kristen Bell), high school was a horror movie, and her brother’s wedding is the sequel when her archrival comes back to haunt her as his bride. Its nice girl versus mean girl in this hysterical reunion with the one person Marnie would really like to forget. And if that weren’t enough, Marnie’s mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) reunites with her own high school nemesis (Sigourney Weaver). Complete with hilarious, never-before-seen bonus material, You Again is one crazy comedy that’ll keep you laughing again and again.
And Betty White it’s in it.
Not exactly the most romantic sounding movie of all time, it’s nonetheless being released just in time for Valentine’s Day 2011 on Blu-ray and DVD. Both editions4 will come with special features including featurettes Following Fickman: On Set with the Director, Ask the Cast, Funny or Die, and deleted scenes. Only available on the Blu-ray will be the same as everything listed above as well as even more deleted scenes and Blooper Dance Party.
Both versions are rated PG: the one-disc DVD costing $29.99; the Blu-ray Combo Pack (BR+DVD) will run you $39.99. They’ll be available in stores on February 8th, 2011.

why is this a post
I am wondering the same thing…

Shit, someone already beat me to the "What the fuck?" and "Why is this a post?" comments. Like the "Sex and the City" DVD article/press release from a little while back(also posted by this "writer"), this has no place here. Yeah, it's fun to bag on, but when this movie received NO coverage on this site before, good or bad, why even mention it's upcoming DVD release? Nice to see that this Ryan Mason person has posted a few actual articles recently (he seemed to be doing quite a few of these shill pieces for a while there), so why keep doing this "Sounds like a lame chick flick, but it's coming out on DVD" shit? Who thought that this was a good idea anyway?
Jamie Lee Curtis looks like John Malkovich in this.
Guys, if you have to do an advert, just do an advert. Don't insult our intelligence, it's literally the kind of painful to read thing after a major shift on the site that makes one think "Oh God Devin leaves and their doing PAINFULLY obvious puff pieces? I think maybe it's time to move on from CHUD.". And if the whole deal was "We have to do an advert while making it seem like a story" you could at least throw in some kind of sarcastic comment that shows you're on the level.
6 people beat me to my comment
Wow, that's some blatant ad whoring there CHUD.
How about you just post a banner like everyone else, and not try to pass this off like it's an actual news story?
That shit is pathetic and lame.
While I always hate ad space on a site…sometimes the site has to do this just to keep the site up…if making a post like this to keep them making other smart and witty posts…then I have no problem at all….

Ad whoring? Do you think 12 douchebags are going to help our bottom line?Ryan got a press release and ran a story on the weekend (the doldrums when we need more content). Loosen up. And hey, maybe DON'T CLICK. I got two hits from each of you assholes for reading the article and then getting so worked up that you felt compelled to write a dick talkback on it.

doucebag = someone who runs a web site and then deliberately insults his faithful readers for having an opinion
People feel the need to post, Nick, to let you know that this is not what we want to see on this site, and you have the power to put a stop to this kind of news post – a power you should make use of.
It doesn't really bother me, but it is kind of puzzling. I don't recall seeing too many DVD press releases as news stories on this site in the past, especially for forgettable romantic comedies that don't appeal to the userbase. This is more of a suggestion than anything, maybe make posts like this more often that we'll be interested in? I know everyone has different tastes but it's pretty easy to tell what's a "chud" movie and what isn't.
Do zombies or giant mutant rabbits show up at some point? If so, this deserves more attention. If not, then get rid of this type of film from this website. The readers are not interested. Unless it really does have giant rabbits attack.
"…Ryan got a press release and ran a story on the weekend…" So Nick, following that logic, I could mail in a press release about my upcoming fart, and see an article posted about it right here. "Loosen up. And hey, maybe DON'T CLICK" Once again, if the title of the article had been "ADVERTISMENT", then maybe we wouldn't click! Then again, we could all just not come back here… and not click.

I agree that the article was pretty lame, tho I appreciate Ryan trying to throw a little humor into it. But really, It's a free website, so who gives a fuck and how can you complain? I mean what have you scumbags provided to the site other than your rambling and inarticulate rants about shit you don't understand?
Yeah, well…your mom!
