Favorite Makeover movie?

I am in the mood for the makeover movie. Any recs? I feel like I have seen them all, but surely there must be something on par with "She's outta control" and "Desperately Seeking Susan" for the new millenium? Perhaps the "The Devil Wears Prada"? Anyway, this is a good time to ask all you frillseekers for you fave makeover movies!

i kinda like that one with freddie prinze jr. and that short petite brownhaired cute girl who's all artsy and gets all cute at the end...she's the one - i think that's the movie name. for some strange reason, i've watched it all the way to the end the last two times i happened to catch it on cable.

for some 80s fare...can't buy me love is another interesting teen popularity "makeover" movie. ahhh...mcdreamy back when.

"She's All That" -- you need the time-capsule-worthy slang for that movie. I liked it a lot too. Paul Walker is really an underrated cinematic treasure. TREASURE, I tell you.

"Sliding Doors" is a little make-over-y. "Strictly Ballroom" has a bit of transformation. I feel like I am reaching for straws since "The Princess Diaries" and "Devil Wears Prada" are probably the most makeover-centric films recently. For an old one, there's "Now, Voyager". There's a stupid cinderella-y one starring Jennifer Grey and Rob Lowe (but you've probably seen it already :P)

Aging Cowgirl and I agree that "Save the Last Dance" has the makeover thing going on :)
