Ugly Betty Reviews

Ugly Betty Review Summary

Now in its third season on ABC, Ugly Betty is a show for all the underdogs out there. Starring America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, a young Hispanic woman working for the high profile fashion magazine Mode, it is a sitcom about standing up for one's self. Betty's problem is she is not exactly "model pretty", but wears glasses, is dumpy and has braces. This opens her up to ridicule from her mean-as-a-snake boss Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams) who is also a conceited diva and former fashion model. Obstinately, Betty is hired by the owner to keep tabs on his son and the magazine's editor-in-chief, Daniel. They develop a friendship while battling the evil Whilhemina. Reviewers like the show, saying, ,"What I love the most is the positive message the show sends about loving yourself despite size, ethnicity, or sexual orientation." and the consensus seems to be "if you're looking for a funny show with an eclectic cast who have very good comedic timing and great acting skills this is a show you should give a chance.".
