Diary ng Panget (lit. 'Diary of an Ugly Person') (also known as Diary ng Panget: The Movie) is a 2014 Filipino romantic comedy film based on the best-selling novel of the same name written and published on Wattpad by Denny R.[1][2][6] The film was directed by Andoy Ranay and stars Nadine Lustre, James Reid, Yassi Pressman, and Andre Paras. It was distributed by Viva Films and released on April 2, 2014, in theaters nationwide.[7][8][9]

Though well-received by fans, it was heavily panned by most critics, claiming that the story and the cast had a lack of formula and effort, and called the story a cliché. Despite the poor critical reception, the film was a box office success, earning an estimated total of ₱120 million during its theatrical run.
