YMMV / You Again

• Fridge Brilliance: Of course the Hospital Wedding would work! It symbolizes what helped Joanna redeem herself over the years: her career as a nurse.
• Heartwarming Moments: Say what you will about Joanna being Easily Forgiven, but there's something meaningful about her second wedding to Will, a juxtaposition between this wedding and the first. The first wedding was your typical wedding with all the usual fanfare, but doomed by bad blood from her highschool days (and then there was Todd). Here, Joana and Will are injured from the fall, but unbothered now that she's apologized for her past and they've rekindled their love. And she certainly wasn't expecting to have a wedding at the hospital, and thrown by Marnie no less. If anything, Joanna is much happier having her impromptu hospital wedding with a clear conscience, than she was when she had the "perfect" wedding haunted by unfinished business.
• Tear Jerker: One particular scene with Joanna's time capsule video being broadcast at the reception proves pretty gut-wrenching. It's a bitter blow for everyone: Joanna is tearfully forced to face her past as a cruel high school shrew , Marni's old wounds are re-opened, her parents are shocked that their daughter was bullied under their noses, and Aunt Mona must watch her niece be humiliated. And if Will lividly unplugging the screen is any indication, he's not happy that the love of his life, the woman he almost welcomed into his family, bullied his beloved sister without him knowing.
• They Copied It, So It Sucks!: Many have noted that the plot of this movie was a gender flipped version of Mr. Woodcock. Both are about a former school loser finding out that a family member is marrying someone who tormented them during their childhood, so they try to sabotage the relationship and get the marriage called off.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic:
  • Ramona. Unlike Joanna, Gail wasn't a bully and never did anything to intentionally hurt Ramona. All Gail ever did was put her best effort into everything she tried and came out on top. Ramona's resentment was just petty jealousy that she had no right to blame Gail for, and she had no reason to push her into the pool.
  • Likewise, her niece Joanna isn't exactly sympathized by the audience either. Although she regrets her past, it feels a bit artificial that she's suddenly sorry for something she took pleasure in at the time. The fact that Joanna makes several remarks specifically to remind Marnie of the past bullying makes this "regret" seem even more suspect. Some even voice the film shouldn't have ended with her marrying into the family if she and Marnie have so much bad blood between them, or if Marnie's brother couldn't stand to marry someone who picked on his younger sister.
