Excellent movie, although the cover, I will say, is deceiving, I suggest everybody see it. And it involves British people, how can you resist that? The movie takes place in England, and revolves around many persons and families, all going through some sort of turmoil. I can't really remember what specifically, but I do remember that in many instances it revolved around war and conflict between races. Quite a good movie, and that's all I have to say. Thank you I need 10 lines, sorry. My god, why do I need ten lines of text, I have nothing more to say, stop reading from hear on out, because the rest will be rambling. I now understand why people Go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh because they bloody need ten lines to fill, these IMDb bastards, but not.

This very forced attempt to fuse Robert Altman and Quentin Tarantino (who is wildly overrated himself) is neither informative nor entertaining. The character development is arbitrary and unbelievable -- especially in the final scene of the thugs and the little boy, as other reviewers have noted. Also, a couple of humorous moments aside, the film is not as funny (black humor or otherwise) as the director seems to think it is.

Beautiful People deals with some grim & difficult topics – war in Bosnia, drugs, divorce, illegal immigration & more (without giving away any secrets) & uses the currently rather popular device of intertwining story lines to do so, but carries it off with humour & elegance. Such a combination of themes could have been sordid & depressing or worse trite, but in contrast Beautiful People is joyous & exhilarating – a real delight & well worthy of your time.
