Skip it. 'Uglies' has a compelling premise about beauty standards in a dystopian future, but the execution is a complete miss—critics and audiences agree with brutal consensus scores across the board. Unless you're morbidly curious or a die-hard YA completist, your time is better spent literally anywhere else tonight.

In a futuristic dystopia with enforced beauty standards, a teen awaiting mandatory cosmetic surgery embarks on a journey to find her missing friend.
