Reasons To Be Pretty

Reasons To Be Pretty explores a Cold War between the sexes. Steph is furious. She feels emotionally wounded by her boyfriend, Greg — who believes that her face is “regular” (which she views as a way of saying that she is not beautiful). Greg spends most of his life trying to explain his misunderstood intentions to others. In spite of his low-key, eager-to-remain-calm personality, Greg somehow evokes anger from the rest of the characters. Kent is crude, down-to-earth, and believes that his life is better than perfect. He not only has a good-looking wife, but he’s also tangled in a work-related affair. Carly is the wife of Kent and the best friend of Stephanie. She sets the conflict in motion, spreading gossip about Greg’s supposedly true feelings.
