The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

there was never anyone who looked like you, or almost like you. you were so excited, every week you looked forward to Thursdays because Thursday meant a chai and choir practice and best of all 40 minutes of You on screen. Uncomfortable, Brown, intelligent, and Ugly. You knew you were Ugly. Brown skin with too much fur too much weight not enough spice- Ugly. But every Thursday, here She was. one day your mother told you that She wasn't really ugly, that she was just the closest they would allow on screen. It broke your heart. She was television Ugly, Ugly in the moment. You would always be ugly.You're 20 years old and you can't move. Your body aches and your muscles are tied up in ways you don't understand and your whole life you were told that with those Big Latina Hips and Tiny Little Waist, one thing would be easy for you and yet you can't move and the pain and the pain and the pain, nothing is easy now. you remember how you used to focus, how it was difficult but you could focus. now everything is TV fuzz, static and snow. press play. you watch to remember. you watch and your boyfriend screams at you for watching because you should be working but you can't work, there's too much fuzzzzzzzzzz. but She works and She persists and She kisses white boys who never shout and She leaves and She is beautiful yet Ugly like you. watch to remember.this review is part of a digital narratives project

I've watched the first season of this show, in search of a feel-good comedy series. I was not even expecting them to be sensitive about the gender stuff (and they should nevertheless have been careful about that). But that issue has been covered by many previous reviews, so I will look through a more different window.This show has only two funny characters: Mark and Amanda. And they are marginal characters compared to the Suarez family, Meades, Wilhelmina and Alexis. These two are the only watchable thing about the show. The rest is crap. Vanessa Williams is a victim of the bad screen writing, but the actress who plays Alexis is just plain awful. The central character, Betty, becomes more and more annoying in time. At times, her actions and lines make you want to punch her, really hard. (Her acting gets worse in time as well) It is not about her looks. She is such a drama queen. As the main character in an "ugly duckling" story, you expect her to be good, nice, adorable, smart. She is not. She goes after someone else's boyfriend, cheats on her own boyfriend, never fails to be the most annoying smart-ass, has her own prejudices against others...the list goes on.And the cliché plot line bores you to death. The story is so shallow. You cannot find anything interesting about the father? Make him a murderer. And don't even mention that issue for the next 10 episodes. You cannot find any more inventive evil plans for Wilhelmina? Make him sleep with Bradford, who of course suddenly falls in love with her but yet loves his wife in jail still. Such brilliant screen writing.If a show makes you hate the main character, then that show is not worth watching it anyway.Bottomline: Don't waste your time watching this.

Hello. I am from Russia. I love this show. America Ferrera is great. Freddy Rodriguez is amazing. I fell in love with him. The character Gio is one of my favorite characters. I would like to see more of the interaction between Betty and Gio. Gio adored Betty and when he kissed her it was thrilling. I miss Gio. I don't find much humor in the show anymore. I loved the sexy and witty banter between Gio and Betty. He made her laugh and encouraged her. Matt is boring. Don't get me wrong, Matt is sweet. But he isn't "the guy". Betty deserve better! Gio was the one who got Betty to go to the next level.Writer, please, bring back Gio! I love Freddy Rodriguez!!!!

Ugly Betty is a show about a girl who has a very bizarre appearance including old-fashioned clothes and red glasses and she is trying to get a job at Mode magazine,a fashion magazine with very superficial and shallow employees.Betty is trying to adjust to this kind of lifestyle and she is also looking for her prince charming.I have to admit that i absolutely LOVE this show.It's so smart and witty and very different from the usual telenovelas.The actors are very well-chosen,the script is outstanding and the directing is wonderful.What i really like about this show,though,is the message that it gives out.It shows that everybody no matter how they look,they shouldn't be ashamed and should have everything that other people have.When i watch this show,i always feel happy because the situations that are shown are very real and true I totally recommend this show for everyone and trust me you will be amazed by this wonderful series.I hope it lasts for long.
