Production of "You Again"

"You Again" was directed by Andy Fickman and written by Moe Jelline. The film starred Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, James Wolk, Victor Garber, Billy Unger, Kyle Bornheimer, Kristin Chenoweth, and Betty White in her final live-action film acting role before her death in 2021. The movie was produced by John J. Strauss and Eric Tannenbaum and featured music by Nathan Wang.

One interesting aspect of the film's production is its connection to the sitcom "Step by Step". Three cast members from the show (Patrick Duffy, Staci Keanan, and Christine Lakin) appeared in "You Again" in a mini-reunion. Additionally, the rivalry between Betty White and Cloris Leachman's characters in the film was a reference to the conflict between the two actresses on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".

Despite a star-studded cast and some interesting behind-the-scenes connections, "You Again" received negative reviews from critics upon its release. However, the film did manage to recoup its production budget of $20 million, earning $32 million at the box office. Its lackluster critical response did not stop Touchstone Pictures (which produced the film) from working on subsequent projects in partnership with other studios, including Miramax, DreamWorks, South African films, Studio Ghibli, and Lucasfilm. In fact, Touchstone signed a deal with DreamWorks Pictures in 2011, starting with the film "I Am Number Four".

Kristen Bell plays Marni Olsen, the protagonist of "You Again". Bell is known for her roles in "Veronica Mars", "Frozen", and "The Good Place".

Sigourney Weaver plays Ramona, Joanna's wealthy and successful aunt who is also a former high school friend of Gail's. Weaver is known for her roles in "Alien", "Avatar", and "Ghostbusters".

Odette Yustman plays Joanna, Marni's former high school bully and Will's bride-to-be. Yustman is known for her roles in "Cloverfield", "The Unborn", and "October Road".

James Wolk plays Will Olsen, Marni's older brother who is about to get married to Joanna. Wolk is known for his roles in "Mad Men", "Watchmen", and "Zoo".

Betty White plays Grandma Bunny, Gail's mother and Marni and Will's grandmother. White was a beloved actress who had many memorable roles throughout her career, including in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", "The Golden Girls", and "Hot in Cleveland".

Andy Fickman directed the film. He is known for his work on "Race to Witch Mountain", "Parental Guidance", and "Playing with Fire".
