What happens when society forces cosmetic surgery on its citizens so that everyone is beautiful and no one is ugly? That's the story in the dystopian movie Uglies on Netflix. Based on a 2005 book of the same name by Scott Westerfeld, Uglies follows a group of people who rise up against a society where beauty is the basis for everything.
Star Joey King is also an executive producer on the project, and she's been waiting a long time to bring this movie to life after her older sister suggested that she read it while home sick from school. "What’s crazy is my excitement for the story has been at the same level since I was 11 years old," she told Netflix.
