The film adaptation of the wildly popular book *Uglies* is making its grand debut on Netflix on September 13! Directed by McG, the man who once made explosions a form of art, this flick promises to be a visual feast.
Starring a lineup that reads like a who’s who of “Who’s that again?”—Joey King, Keith Powers, Chase Stokes, Brianne Tju, Jan Luis Castellanos, Charmin Lee, and Laverne Cox—this movie has a cast so dazzling you might need sunglasses just to watch the credits roll.
So, what’s this movie about, you ask? Picture a future where everyone gets a makeover at 16—think of it like a high-stakes episode of a makeover show but with more drama and less mascara. Tally, our protagonist, is practically drooling with excitement for her turn in the transformation chair. But when her friend pulls a Houdini and vanishes, Tally decides to embark on an epic quest to save her, only to discover that maybe a little self-acceptance is worth more than a facelift.
And if you’re a bookworm who prefers the printed page, grab your wallet because on September 17, a shiny new paperback edition of the original *Uglies* will hit the shelves. But wait, there’s more! There’s also a special edition audiobook narrated by none other than Brianne Tju, one of the film’s stars. It’s like having a private movie screening right in your ears. So get ready to listen, laugh, and maybe even question your life choices.
