They honestly should have simply made the film animated, since they'd be able to capture the eerie appearance of the Pretties better. All of the actors look attractive, even pre-operation, which defeats the point that they're supposed to be "ugly."

There's an angle that this movie could tackle by focusing on how subjective beauty standards can be and going deep into the idea that it's heavily steeped into cultural elements. They could have "beautiful" actors, in our own current standards, be seen as "Uglies" and have the "Pretties" being vastly different than what we consider, which I think what the movie was attempting to going for, but without the depth it needed to in order to convey this idea.

The premise of the book seems to be that the Uglies aren't really "ugly", they are just normal looking people without the excessive augmentations that make them "pretty" by society standards. So it would actually make sense to cast conventionally attractive actors and actresses as Uglies to show how warped the definition of beauty in that dystopia is.

To be fair, she's cast in things because she's a nepo-baby; she's not being forced into doing bad movies, she's privileged enough to be in a ton of movies that she otherwise wouldn't get.

The book must have been inspired by the classic Twilight Zone episode. I think its called the eye of the beholder. The reveal works well in the show, but it was only a 30 minute episode. Probably would be harder to maintain that mystery for a full movie.

I feel like the movie would've been better off not giving a justification for the surgery. Beauty standards are already a real thing, and having surgery to make your body conform to those standards is also a real thing. I think audiences would've understood the premise just fine without an explanation.

I loved these books in middle school and I think they were actually somewhat ahead of their time and had some decent messages for middle grade audiences. An adaptation of it should have probably happened earlier and been handled with more care and thought than just “ya dystopian” considering the subject matter. Shame, it could have been adapted to more relevancy. Should probably also mention that they pretties aren’t supposed to just be conventionally attractive, they’re supposed to look alien and have extreme symmetry and other augmentations, but the movie probably doesn’t explain that well.

Ecologist here, and also someone who read this book when I was in high school. ;) The reason that the smokies burn the forests is not out of a desire to destroy it, but because fire increases the health of forests and increases habitat for wildlife. In other words, they are being good stewards of the environment by burning the forest. I remember really liking this book as a kid mostly because the author recognized that fire is actually good for forests and not bad. It's a shame that the film did not explain this.
