"Uglies" presents a dystopian society where conformity is enforced through surgery, echoing real-life societal pressures regarding beauty, and often delivers its message through clunky dialogue and simplistic worldbuilding.
Despite the movie's stumbles in execution, the familiar themes of rebellion and self-acceptance resonate, making it a nostalgic reminder of the YA dystopian craze of the early 2010s.
