Negative Positive
Title: Very formulaic and sexist
Review: This movie does NO justice to the books. Not only does it make Mia seem like a total geek at the beginning, you notice Michael only "falls for her" after she undergoes her makeover. A great image to put out to young girls, "You have to be pretty to get the guy you want, because who loves a girl who is actually comfortable in her own skin?". Not.Although, on a lets-not-think-about-the-disintegrating-self-image-idea-here basis, this is a rather cute movie. The books are just way better. So go get off your lazy bum and exercise your brain by reading them! They are by Meg Cabot. And rent this, dont bother buying it. [See my review for Ella Enchanted...ew!]
