Welcome back to Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves. Each week we are asked to pick three to five movies to fit that week's theme. This week we have to pick among those movies with an ugly main character who eventually becomes beautiful. I've already picked Miss Congeniality and The Devil Wears Prada before so I had to settle for these.
Mean Girls (2004)
Cady moves to Chicago from Africa, goes to high school and befriends Janis and Damian who warn her about the popular kids in high school. She doesn't care and decides to hang out with Regina George, the most popular girl, who also happens to be the ex-girlfriend of her crush. The transformation happens pretty soon but there's one. I haven't seen this in years but I really liked it when I was a teen.
Cinderella (2015)
After the death of her father, Ella finds herself at the mercy of her stepmother and stepsisters and is forced to be their servant. Then a fairy godmother makes her beautiful, she meets a prince and things change. I wasn't a big fan of this version, but I liked what they did with the relationship between Ella and the prince, and Blanchett made a great stepmother. Also, the costumes are great.
Not Another Teen Movie (2001)
A popular kid in high school makes a bet with his friends that he can turn a pretty but ugly girl into a beautiful prom queen. I watched this movie for Chris Evans and that's the only reason I didn't regret watching it. Evans aside, the movie is dreadful.
