Watch The Makeover For Free

You won't be disappointed!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I'm just going to say it. I love Hallmark movies...mostly. I know they're cheesy but I can't help myself. The only thing that truly annoys me is when they end in the characters kissing and we don't even get 30 secs of real closure. How many kissing endings do we have to watch?! It's getting old and ridiculous. But I digress. Let's talk about The Makeover specifically. Bottom line...cute premise, good acting, fun Boston accents. Total crap movie. There's one reason and one reason only for the "total crap movie" label....Julia Stiles' character. (Let's face it, I feel like this is the only character she plays). There's no denying that Julia Stiles is a great actress. She is wonderful, for sure and for certain. BUT this Hannah Higgins character is HORRIBLE. She is completely unlikeable. Arrogant, narcissistic, downtrodden, rude, argumentative. She has no arc, says the most horrible things to a really likeable and adorable man who's trying his hardest, and NEVER apologizes, even though she goes to him multiple times to apologize. She just ends up blaming him and everyone else around her. I couldn't root for her, I didn't even want to watch her. There wasn't a hint of chemistry or romance and at the end when they kissed, I was just left feeling grossed out. I kept thinking, "Run for the hills man"! At first I really liked the change in story (from the classic Eliza Doolittle version) but the problem is...the original Higgins was a much older man and was NOT a romantic interest. Higgins wasn't very likeable in the original but you kind of saw him as a tough father figure. If you're going to make Higgins a romantic character, you'd better tone down the negative character traits or for goodness sake, GIVE HER A CHARACTER ARC!! Everyone loves a good character arc. The male lead was to nice and wonderful for us to ever believe he'd fall for a shrew like Hannah Higgins.

I like the thought of the film, I just hate the smart shaming and sexist remarks. Maybe it is true, people vote someone who's only likeable in action.Also Hannah's friend Colleen is so annoying. She's no help or whatsoever. Ruined the film for me, i didn't like the part/scenes when she's in it. For Julia Stiles and David Walton, it was a good match.

The Makeover is itself a remake of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion and the musical version of that play, My Fair Lady, but with an interesting twist; the genders of the main characters in the film have been switched. Set in Boston, The Makeover takes much of its initial energy from the contrast between the varied dialects used by the upper and lower classes of that city's population.The film is a fun romantic comedy that is reasonably well acted and photographed. It could have been improved by continuing the musical score through the fades between scenes instead of leaving them silent, but this probably was not considered practical with a made for TV movie.

I have to confess I began watching with my son because I worked as background but I found myself forgetting about that and just smiling.. You have a sweet family movie with a moral center, talented and very smart actors. It wasn't preachy but fun... It made you think but not in a negative way. I loved the use of Boston landmarks in this.We need more movies like this. Yes Boston does have people who talk and act that way. Boston is filled with a diverse population and this movie just sampled a small part of it. Yes I love my zombie flicks as well but this is a nice breath of fresh air.. BTW everyone onset was nice and very professional.
