Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

... View MoreI was shocked to find out that the winner, Taylor Bills, has a little hidden secret that obviously the producers failed to find out! Looks like Taylor's dad has been a fugitive on the run for several years. he was sentenced to 12 years in prison in Florida and has been running ever since. His dad's name is Stephen Bills. Sorry Taylor, a "true beauty" would be better suited to someone without any skeletons in their closet. I'm shocked that he won anyway since he was boring and the least lively person on the show. The best episode I saw was when he got drunk and fell on his behind by the pool. The show is dumb and it should end this season. Perhaps Taylor can use some of his $100K prize money to get his dad a get out of jail card once and for all.
... View MoreNolé Marin. Vanessa Minnillo. Cheryl Tiegs. One troll, one ditzy hotty and one plastic surgery disaster. And that's on the outside. On the inside, the picture gets worse. All three have varying levels ofPretentiousness -- Superficiality -- Vanity -- Selfishness -- Dishonesty -- Ignorance -- Promiscuity -- Laziness -- Arrogance -- HypocrisyNolé seems the most comfortable with his black soul, while Vanessa tries the hardest to hide hers. Cheryl's so busy trying to stay lucid that I don't think she even understands the extent of her evilness.I love it when they all feign horror when the contestant fails to pick up the litter, when you know, in real life, none of them have touched litter in years- possibly ever. Just talk to any of their assistants. They'll be more than happy to reveal the full extent of their inner ugliness.With the right judges, this show could have been phenomenal. It could have sent a message that you'd find no where else on TV. An original thought. As it's stands, it's just repulsive people passing judgment on other repulsive people. For a show about inner beauty I find it mind boggling that not one single character has the slightest bit of it.And yet... when all it said and done... I can't look away. This is the car wreck that I have to drive by and look at over and over again. Repulsive celebrities and wannabe repulsive celebrities are still a pretty fascinating watch. But, just like you're average sports fan who yells at the TV, you'll find me equally as agitated, screaming things like"Nolé, you are SUCH a slut!" -- "Vanessa, grow a brain!" -- "Cheryl, hellooooo, is anybody in there?!?!"
... View MoreWhat's ironic about this show (with its premise being that beauty should be on the inside) is that the host Vanessa is the most obnoxious, spoiled, bratty fake person on the set. Too bad they don't have a hidden camera on her in her real life. She would be booted in the first hour. I can't believe they couldn't find a more appropriate judge than that shallow piece of eye-candy. I think the show has little and I'm a big fan of Cheryl. None of the girls on the show would ever make it as real models. They are simply looking for their 15 minutes of fame. This might be the example of the worst of Hollywood. Beautiful people at their worst.
... View MoreIf you were in a room surrounded by ten beautiful people, you could probably find more than ten reasons to be jealous. However, "True Beauty" is not fixated on whatever jealousies may arise. The competition is truly about the one contestant that is beautiful both on the outside- and the inside.Ten minutes into the premiere episode, I was hooked on how highly these people thought of themselves. A laugh or two escaped me, and at first, it appeared to be a fun show about vanity and over-the-top self-esteems. But then, the light-heartedness flew out the door when the judges announced that all of the contestants would be ranked in the "science" of their beauty.So here we are, in a show seemingly about inner beauty, ranking the physical qualities and proportions of the one thing in life that can never be measured. At first, I thought it was a joke, but the doctor who made the "equasion" for beauty was not only serious, but Vanessa Minnillo called him "a professional" and scorned one of the characters for thinking otherwise.All three of the judges take advantage of the opportunity to demean the 10 contestants, when they all have some serious flaws when it comes to inner beauty themselves. Overall, the show is hypocritical...but well edited and the concept is new to reality television. When everything is balanced out, I'd give it a 7/10.
