Line 111:
* [[Anne Hathaway]] gets this treatment again in ''[[The Devil Wears Prada]]'' where she is called unattractive and fat by her new co-workers, when her only "problem" is not having a designer wardrobe. Though at least here the [[Word of God|screenwriter says]] this attitude is a comment on the ridiculous standards of the fashion industry and not the movie trying to convince the audience that Hathaway is ugly.
* ''[[Psycho]]'' features a joke where a man fawns over Marion at the bank, completely ignoring her supposedly plainer co-worker who says afterwards "He must have seen my wedding ring." The co-worker is played by Pat Hitchcock, who is not only pretty cute herself but the daughter of the director, making this doubly awkward.
* ''The Quiet'' Camilla Belle's character is described as being unattractive by several characters. One character even goes as far to say that she is a hermaphrodite. The only thing that makes her "ugly" is the fact she has short hair, minimal make-up on and wears boys clothing. In real life, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130929010843/http://www.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/camilla-belle-100.jpg Camilla Belle] is as beautiful as Elisha Cuthbert.
* ''[[Shaolin Soccer]]'' Mui also counts as a [[Beautiful All Along]], she finally looks better after her [[Bald Women|second makeover]], about 15 minutes before the end of the film.
* ''[[She's All That]]'' A teenage film take on the Pygmalion story involves a bet to try to get the "ugly" girl to win as prom queen. After scanning the whole school, they settle on the obviously attractive Rachel Leigh Cook as the least likely to be named prom queen.
