Movie Review by Zara 
December 3rd, 2008

While definitely not as horrific as I assumed it would be (I had set my standards pretty low for this or any other movie Paris Hilton is in), this is still pretty much what it looks like: an excuse for the woman who has the highest unnecessary opinion of herself to get people to continue to be her Yes Men.
There is a lot of gross out humour at the expense of the decent looking Christine Lakin who is buried under a lot of prosthetic in order to look bad (and worse, they do the same to the child actress version of her) and little to support that she has the winning personality underneath to win out over the guy in the end, as you would expect from this stereotypical storyline.
But probably what I found most interesting is that this isn't sadly far off (on the most basic of levels) of what female friendships are like. As difficult as it is for an unattractive woman to get a guy interested in her personality over her beauty flaws, it's even more difficult for a good looking woman to find a female friend who will be loyal and true to her. Yeah, I know, boo-hoo for the pretty girl, right? But there are drawbacks to being a hottie. People don't take you seriously, they rarely see you as anything other than an object of lust and they believe that because you're beautiful, you have to be full of yourself.
While that case is indeed true with Hilton, I've met and been friends with gorgeous women who were so desperate for honest female companionship that they were sadly socially stunted because of it. So in that respect, I can somewhat understand the layout that the movie presents. Just not who they've chosen for the roles or the way that they played them out.
