  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I know everyone is desperate to feel beauty in their lives right now, but I found this movie shallow in the extreme. I was offended by the entire premise the moment a soul was designated "manipulative megalomaniac" before birth, and offended again when the mentors were just a list of famous people.

  I also can't stop thinking about how easy it would have been to cast a Black actress instead of Tina Fey.

  One thing I did appreciate is Pixar…
