À propos de cet audio

From Executive Producer Elizabeth Banks comes this hilarious and heartfelt story about second chances that’s Never Been Kissed meets 21 Jump Street

31-year-old Lee has her dream job at tech startup Everfore—but being the youngest-looking person in the office means she's always fighting to be taken seriously among the bros on her team who treat her more like a kid sister than a colleague. When her boss challenges the team to develop the next viral app for Gen Z, Lee sees her chance to finally shine—even if it means going undercover as a high school student in the process.

Armed with her baby face and the jargon she learned on TikTok, Lee infiltrates Woodrow Wilson High to study her target audience up close, secretly determined to be a high school success this time around. Lee’s real high school experience was less-than-perfect; back in the day, she was included on the “Fugly List,” a hot-or-not summary of the least attractive girls at school, and spent the rest of high school hiding, even graduating early to free herself from the social shame.

This time, as Lee navigates cliques, crushes, and cafeteria politics, something unexpected happens—she actually starts to belong. She forms authentic friendships with a group of girls who remind her of everything she missed the first time around. They’re not like the mean girls of her Millennial days: they’re kind, hype up their besties, and are politically engaged. Lee struggles to come up with a pitch for Everfore that encompasses all that this next gen is about. She manages to stall her boss as she slips deeper and deeper into her high school 2.0 undercover identity...

Then an infamous "Fugly List," similar to the one that tormented Lee in high school, comes out...except this time, instead of being taped to every locker, it's public on Instagram. Suddenly, Lee must confront the trauma she's carried for years while trying to save both her job and the friendships that have become surprisingly real.

Fugly is a hilarious and heartfelt story about second chances, finding your voice, and realizing that sometimes in order to move forward, you have to go back to high school.

This seemed like parts of a longer story stitched together. I couldn’t tell if the longer story was any good, but this didn’t work.

A 31 year old woman went back to high school and was able to successfully pass herself off as a teenager despite not understanding teen culture or slang. When she was an actual teenager, she made an “ugliest girl list. 15 years later, although she was still considered unattractive at work, she was practically irresistible when she pretended to be a teenager. Everyone was “obsessed” with her even though she didn’t say or do anything notable.

There were puzzling loose ends, like a 17 year old boy she went on a date with. He worked extra shifts at his job to be able to take her to a nice restaurant, then… nothing. It kind of sounded as if she bailed partway through dinner and you never hear of the boy again.

Sadly, not worth the time.

Weird and Disjointed

It felt like a movie crammed into a book and not in a good way. Moving way too fast to make the plot enjoyable and plausible.

Needed to be fleshed out more
