Inspired by the classic comic-book character, and reconceptualized as a girlie-power pin-up, French director Christophe Comar's English-language debut (directed under his nom d'ecran Pitof) is an instantly forgettable, hyper-stylized trifle. Mousy Patience Phillips (Halle Berry) slaves in the art department of Hedare Cosmetics until the night she accidentally overhears a research scientist warning Laurel Hedare (Sharon Stone), the longtime "Face of Hedare" who was just ignominiously replaced by this year's model, that the company's miracle wrinkle cream, Beau-line, has deforming side effects. Laurel intends to let nothing stand between Beau-line and millions of women...
