You Again (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)This seemed to be the perfect date night film. Until I had read the awful buzz on the film, then I got very, very scared. But I generally like touchstone romantic comedies. They are mainly formulaic but also quite fun. They have great gags for the guys and a witty girl power message.
