I'm sorry to say I was disappointed in the movie. :-( I've really been looking forward to seeing it, because I loved the premise of a not-so-pretty girl feeling the power of being beautiful (without actually changing), and the trailer made the movie look hysterical! But it really wasn't. :-( The difference can be summed up in one scene: the one where she first sees her "beautiful" self in the mirror. In the trailer she basically screams "I'm BEAUTIFUL!" but in the movie she basically whispers it. It was a sweeter movie than I expected, and probably more realistic because her character was still very unsure of herself a lot of times... but it wasn't what I was expecting. It seemed like a rather uneven movie. Some parts were great (I loved how she "owned" her new receptionist position and had perfectly chilled water for guests; I liked the scene where Ethan starts to admire her during the bikini contest, and also after the bikini contest where she's just happy that she made people laugh; I also liked the scene where she and Ethan are sitting on the lawn and they have some heart-to-heart comments before kissing). But it felt like a lot of other stuff was just kind of randomly thrown in. What was the deal with Mr. LeClaire wanting to kiss her? Did he really like her or was he using her for some kind of power play with his sister? And why did we need all that stuff with the sister being downtrodden anyway? Seems like the vital parts with Amy's character could have come about without that secondary plot thrown in. The parts I REALLY hated, though, were the ones where people were being mean to her. It didn't come across as funny, just cruel, which was a bit unsettling for a movie that I thought was supposed to be funny. That scene during the big launch, where she says, "This makeup is for regular women like you!" was weird, too, since she was shouting it to a room full of models and high-society types... unless she was strictly addressing her two friends. So... sorry for all the negativity... but it wasn't what I was expecting and I found it rather confusing as far as whether it was supposed to be really funny, or supposed to be mostly thought-provoking. I think it's a good movie to watch at home... but I was glad I didn't pay theater prices to see it.
