Pretty Ugly People is a 2008 American black comedy-drama film written and directed by Tate Taylor, in his feature film directorial debut.[1][2][3] It was filmed in Montana.

The film is the story of a group of childhood friends brought back together by one of their number, Lucy (played by Missi Pyle), who planned a surprise four-day hike in the Montana wilderness to celebrate losing hundreds of pounds of weight after gastric bypass surgery. However, Lucy quickly realizes while she has become thin and happy, her friends, played by Melissa McCarthy, Larry Sullivan, Phill Lewis, Josh Hopkins, Jack Noseworthy, Octavia Spencer, and Philip Littell, are miserable.
