Award-winning actor
Tony Shalhoub adds the "director" hyphenate to his calling card with this labor of love, starring his wife,
Brooke Adams, and written by his sister-in-law,
Lynne Adams.
Made-Up lightly
parodies the
reality-TV "makeover" craze as it tells the tale of
Elizabeth (
Brooke Adams), a middle-aged divorcée who agrees to be made over by her daughter
Sara (
Eva Amurri), a process which will be documented for eternity by her aspiring-filmmaker sister,
Kate (
Lynne Adams). A former actress still smarting over her long-since faded stardom,
Elizabeth is none too pleased at having her transformation videotaped, but she goes along with it, and soon finds that her "new you" is winning over the affections of a new beau, restaurateur
Max (
Shalhoub). But self-doubt continues to nag at
Elizabeth, to the point where she almost undermines her own chances at romance.
Lynne Adams based her screenplay on her own one-woman play;
Gary Sinise makes an appearance as
Elizabeth's ex-husband.
