The film "Beauty and the ugly creature": actors and roles

The comedy "Beauty and ugly creature" is an easy film with an uncomplicated plot. Predictable development of events, a primitive game of actors, grotesque images of the main characters - all this to the insanity is naive and clearly devoid of common sense. The film "Beauty and the ugly creature" can not claim an alternative to watching even the series "Slave Izaura" (although it was not immediately possible to foresee the finale, and here, knowing only one name and watching the film for 5 minutes, you can tell exactly what will end) .

Reviews of the audience about him can be divided into two categories - negative and mega-negative. No wonder his director Tom Putnam received "Golden Raspberry" for him in 2009, and the starry blonde Paris Hilton, who starred, was dubbed the worst actress of the decade.

Briefly about the plot

Nat Cooper, who was in love with the school's first beauty, Christabel Abbot, meets her after years. They are both free, and he wants to meet with her. Kristabel does not mind, but she has a condition: her girlfriend, June, too, must find a guy, otherwise it will not work. Nat struggles to arrange her personal life, but the girl is so untidy and ugly that the guys flinch from her and refuse to meet her even for a reward. And then Netu comes a brilliant idea: you need to change the appearance of June - and then everything will turn out. And indeed, out of ugliness and insecure ugly creature, the supermodel turned out, which was zipped by her girlfriend Christabel. The film "Beauty and the ugly creature" ends with the fact that Nat understands that he really loves June, which now became a real beauty.

Is it a comedy?

Many do not agree with this definition of the genre, because there is little to laugh at. But the sense of humor is different for everyone, and apparently the director therefore thought that looking at the dirty sock that gets into Netu's mouth in yoga classes, or the hairy legs in June scars, the spectator will laugh. But, probably, there are such.

But who dared to play in this film "Beauty and the ugly creature", which does not pretend to masterpiece? Actors and the roles that they got, in truth, correspond to each other. This is especially true of the main performer.

Paris Hilton in the role of Christabel Abbott

No one seriously takes the secular lioness and heiress of the famous dynasty as an actress, although she repeatedly tried desperately to prove the opposite. But, see, for the film "Beauty and ugly creatures" the actors were selected on the principle of "who pays money, he orders music." Paris herself was also a producer. To put it bluntly, none of this has happened, because the only thing that she can do is make a languid look and beautifully fold her lips. In a word, Paris played herself, not really straining. The main thing that she shone, decorated, like a Barbie doll, showing where you need and do not need your model figure.

The very image of Christabel too far-fetched, because she appears too noble, they say, for the sake of women's solidarity, she also refuses to build personal happiness. And in general, it turns out that Nat had the intelligence to take June to the stylist, and for Christabel, who herself is a regular of beauty salons, for some reason no. Without this there would be no film, but maybe a beautiful blonde should have had a ugly companion for greater contrast?

"Beauty and ugly creature" (actors): the ugly Jun Figgs

It was played by Kristin Laikin. First, from the large naturalistic plans of her nails, the snot and the sick oral cavity can turn out, so you have to watch carefully. Rare and gray hair, wrinkled skin of earth color, terrible rotten teeth, a face strewn with pimples and herpes, warts and similar abominations - how much effort had to be applied to make-up artists in order to disfigure a pretty girl!

This is the first thing that comes to mind after transforming her into a real beauty. But these metamorphoses are so unnatural: firstly, by some miracle, the curves of the hairy legs (obviously male) disappear and slender female legs appear, and secondly, it somehow immediately begins to walk confidently on the heels, and the posture is leveled, as if And it was all my life. But the most surprising is that her foolish manners disappear somewhere, she becomes refined and well-mannered.

June appears in the first half of the film is not just a ugly girl by nature, but as a flawed person who neglects the rules of hygiene, does not wash or wash clothes. Of course, we can assume that this is such a director's idea: to exaggerate the external ugliness to show how society neglects pariahs or people who are not like others in skin color or social status, but it would be an unexpectedly deep idea from the creators of such a washed-up plot. Everything is much simpler: the demonstration of biological mutilation and untidiness is the cornerstone on which the whole humor of the film is built, in other words, from the look of rotten nails falling into the mouth, it should be funny.

Although I want to pay tribute to Christine Leikin herself , because to decide to show herself in this form and star in the movie "Beauty and ugly creature," the actors had to show some courage, or something.

Joel Moore

He acted as Nat Cooper. His acting as a mediocre game can not be called, although for such a film it was an even more or less tolerable level. Nat - a loser, if we talk about his relationship with the girls (at the beginning of the film he throws another of them), and about life achievements. And suddenly a brilliant idea suddenly dawns on him that if he finds his first love from an elementary school, then she will not abandon him, and everything in his later life will be super. That's such a naive American boy.

But at the end of the movie "Beauty and ugly creature" Joel Moore, who is also Nat Cooper, suddenly realizes for himself that he did not love Kristabel all his life, but his dirty girlfriend. Only here for what, it is not clear, because neither the sparkling mind, nor any outstanding qualities of personality, it did not shine. And the realization of his true love comes to Nat only after the transformation of the ugly duckling into Cinderella. It turns out, whatever one may say, external data determine the fate of a person, whether someone will love him, or he will remain alone. This, probably, is the main message of the film, filed against the will of the director. But ideally the idea was this: you never know who your true love is, you have to be able to discern it even in someone who at first looks like the hero of the horror film, but inside - the most beautiful and sweetest person (well, somehow).

It is interesting to note that after the film "Beauty and ugly creature" Joel Moore starred in "Avatar" in one of the main roles.

Adam Kulbersch

He played the secondary role of Cole's guy, whom Net for money told him to come on a double date with June and Christabel. He knows how to make faces, and the scene with a fingernail proved it. His presence in the film was supposed to add comedy to what was happening, because he almost turned out of June's ugliness and he demonstrated it in every possible way.

Johann Urb

He got the role of a dentist who transformed June into a princess. At first he looks so perfect, cute, noble. He promises to help the unfortunate girl free of charge. But what is the catch? It turns out that he had a treacherous goal - to drag June into bed, but she gives him a turn from the gate. In short, his role is unnatural and ridiculous in and of itself.

"Beauty and the ugly creature": actors of the second plan

Greg Wilson played the school friend Nat. He was the link between the past and the present life of an unsuccessfully enamored guy, because he knew where Kristabel lived and how to get her heart.

Catherine Fiore got the role of the former girl Nat, who can not stand life with him and leaves him.

The secondary actors of the film "Beauty and the ugly creature" Caleb Gass, Carly Collins and Alessandra Daniel played the little Nat, Kristabel and June respectively.

Of course, to watch or not to watch this work of director Tom Putnam, let everyone decide for himself. In any case, this is a good self-tutorial of how you do not have to make films, so maybe even useful.
