Great little movie from NEW ZEALAND, not Australia, 25 May 2000
10/10
Author: Ivan Ravenous from California

I was attracted to the Ugly mostly because of its title, which just sounded really good to me. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest, as the film's characters, lighting, pacing, dialogue, and style completely blew me away. The acting is superb, especially from Paolo Rotondo. In addition to all this, the New Zealand accents made it really appealing to me.
