You Again!!!

This movie is so amazing, all of you out there who haven't seen it, NEED TO. When Marni Olsen (Kristen Bell) was in high school, she had acne, braces, glasses and was bullied terribly. Her high school experience was a horror movie and she will never forget the head cheerleader who hurt her the most, JJ (Odette Yustman).
But now, Marni is all grown up and is a beautiful, successful woman who is a public relations executive and has recently been promoted to a great job in New York. Can life get any better?
Unfortunately, when Marni goes home for her brother, Will's (James Wolk) wedding, she finds out that his bride, Joanna, used to go by a different nickname in high school: JJ. Marni's worst enemy is going to be her brother's new wife. Meanwhile, Marni's parents, Gail (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Mark Olsen (Victor Garber) think Joanna is wonderful and are very excited about the upcoming wedding. Gail's excitement for the wedding is suddenly shattered when Joanna invites her Aunt Mona (Sigourney Weaver) over to the Olsen house. It turns out Mona and Gail were best friends in high school...until Mona pushed Gail into a pool at their senior prom. Mona is now very rich, owning her own hotels and private planes. It looks like this battle will be a 4-way :)

Bruce Almighty!!!

Bruce Almighty is a comedy about a television field reporter, Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) who wants to get a promotion as an anchorman more than anything. When he gets beaten out by his rival co-worker, Evan Baxter (Steve Carrell), Bruce is furious and lets his temper get him fired. Bruce then complains to God that He is treating him unfairly. God (Morgan Freeman) grants Bruce all of His powers so he can do a better job. The only two limitations Bruce has are not telling people he is God and not messing with people's free will.
In this movie, Bruce learns that having all the powers in the world and being God, is not as easy and fun as it seems to be.
