Watched a kickass movie on Lifetime the other day: Lying to be Perfect with Poppy Montgomery. It’s a modern day, mid-30’s, overweight Cinderella story. It has a really cheesetastic message of “Be all that you can be!” and “Dream big!”. However, there’s a hot guy in it, and, my favorite...wait for it...a makeover! I can’t tell you how much I love a good makeover in a movie.
Poppy works at Shine!, a celebrity gossip/fashion type of magazine. After having her talent ignored at work and no sex life, Poppy and two of her good friends make a “cinderella pact” to get hot. You watch the hotness unfold as Poppy magically sheds her fat suit and changes from an overweight frump who eats powdered doughtnuts in public (everyone knows you eat powdered doughnuts in the privacy of your own shame) to a sassy, confident woman with good hair. She meets a scorching dude, who also happens to be rich. All in all, her pact to get hot works. If you happen to come across this movie in the future, I’d highly suggest giving it a watch. It’s one of those rare, happy Lifetime movies in which there is no murder, rape, cheating, wife-beating, or ugly male lead. Well played, Lifetime, well played.
