Beautiful Reviews:
Very enjoyable film
2008-04-20 - This film is very predictable and is by no means original. Yet with that said, I enjoyed it. It has been a long time since a film has caused me to cry.

I just saw the movie on Starz and am adding it to my DVD library.



Ruby / Joey made the movie for me
2008-03-28 - I'm a straight guy's guy, and I enjoyed "Beautiful" very much. Why? Because of the touching performance by Joey Lauren Adams as Ruby, devoted friend to Minnie Driver's Mona. Joey made Ruby a sweet, kind, generous, admirable young woman who gave so much to others and received so little in return. Each of Joey's performances has been special in its own way, but her role in "Beautiful" tops them all in my book. It made my heart ache to see Ruby working so hard to make a home for Mona and little Vanessa, and make a dream for Mona, and make life more comfortable for the elders at the home where Ruby worked as a nurse. And what happened to her in return? Mona constantly demanded "More! More! More!" ... even after poor Ruby was jailed for a crime she didn't commit. Yet Ruby remained steadfast, even cheering Mona from the TV room at the slammer come Pageant Night. "Beautiful" had a happy enough ending, I suppose, as Ruby was exonerated and released from custody. I hoped that after the closing credits, Ruby started getting all of the wonderful things she deserved so much ... a trip to a special place of her choosing, a special guy (or girl if that's her orientation) in her life ... or just having Mona cook her a nice meal, draw her a bubble bath, give her a massage and say, "I don't deserve you as a friend. Thank you for being the best part of my life."

Pleased
2007-05-14 - I was very happy with this product b/c it came in less than a week from when i ordered it. And, i was happy to find what i was looking for on the internet for so cheap.

Cute Movie about (finally) coming of age.
2007-05-12 - My wife (and our youngest) and I have enjoyed watching this cute film several times,(even though my wife was a pageant contestant all through her teens) this is a great film about self esteem, friendship, vanity, growing up and responsibility.

Minnie Driver is great as usual, and here we first learn of her considerable vocal talents (by the way her CD " Everything in My Pocket"is a great singer song-writer album) and then there is the adorable "Pepsi Girl" Hailey Kate Eisenberg, who is spot on as the world wise (but unknowing) daughter.

This isn't a great movie, but it is a pretty good one. If you are looking for a nice movie about finding your place in the world, you should enjoy "Beautiful".



Love It
2007-03-17 - This is one of THE best movies ever. Great story line, and a happy ending.
