Some people hope for a day when not one single child goes to bed hungry. Others wish upon the stars for world peace and freedom for the oppressed. Me? I dream of kicking back with a hot cup of Starbucks and watching a really good makeover movie.

I know. I know. Which makeover movie, right?

As luck would have it, The House Bunny was just released. It's a movie about a rejected Playboy Bunny and professional girlfriend of Hugh Hefner who gets kicked to the curb because at 27, she's far too old for the lettuce patch (even though the lettuce patch is most likely limp, gray and unable to be harvested unless large doses of pharmaceuticals and standby nurses are involved).

After her forced retirement, the sad Bunny gets a job as a house mother for a sorority full of homely gals, and she makes them pretty! She makes them pretty, people. Bring me the Starbucks now.

If every country had a makeover movie, why, this world would be a happier and more aesthetically pleasing place. People would be so inspired they'd go out and do things to better themselves. Soon, they'd feel way too good to wield weapons or withhold food. Picture Osama bin Laden watching "Clueless" and then heading out for some highlights and a dermabrasion facial ... he's not about to spread evil now, is he? He'd chip a nail, for God's sake.

I don't know if you know this, but a really good makeover movie can also cure the blues. It can energize you during those rough patches in life. It can bring out your inner Playboy Bunny — even if it's just for one hop around the yard. It can make you realize that you are able to do anything you want (whether it be cleaning the day-old ice cream stains off your lap and running a comb through your hair or finally becoming the girl who gets noticed by more than just desperate guys who claim they love walks on the beach and cuddling during rainstorms).

Don't believe me? Try these on for size:

Best makeover movie about a guy: "Can't Buy Me Love" [In typical guy fashion, the main character goes from "totally geek to totally chic" in only three simple moves: Glasses off, mousse in hair, sleeves torn off shirt ... voila!]

Best "reverse" makeover movie: "Legally Blonde" [The pretty blonde girl can't compete with New England's finest brunettes ... until she buys a Mac laptop and starts studying.]

Best hooker makeover movie: "Pretty Woman" [This movie includes the best "getting new clothes" montage. It also made me want to be a hooker ... except I would've asked for $10,000 for the week and money in my 401k.]

Worst makeover movie EVER: "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" [I don't know why I hate this movie so much, but ew. This is the Dr. Scholl's of makeover movies. I can't stop thinking about the scene where the bridesmaids are getting ready, squeezing themselves into ugly dresses and too-small nylons. Sick. But good for her marrying the guy she wants.]

Best makeover movie EVER: "Never Been Kissed" [Hands-down the best. Drew Barrymore must go through TWO makeovers before she gets it right ... poor thing. It's so painful to watch at times, but it's brilliant. She even hooks up with a hot teacher. Also, she is a copy editor ... with a secretary. How'd that happen?]

Saddest makeover movie: "The Mirror Has Two Faces" [Barbra Streisand plays a dumpy professor who gets married to a guy who doesn't believe marriage should be about love ... just friendship. He makes it clear that she's a great wife-friend but definitely not lover material. The jerk goes on a lecture tour, and Babs gets busy at the hairdressers and on the treadmill. She does such a great job that she wins the guy ... but who wants him?]

Best makeover movie resulting in personal bad fashion choices: "She's Out of Control" [I highly recommend this movie for the makeover montage itself. She gets her braces off early. THAT is every girl's dream right there. Sadly, I found myself deadset on mimicking the main character's fashion choices. In one scene, she wore thigh-highs under ripped jeans. So I, uh, ripped my jeans and tugged on my socks till they were torn and stretched over my knees. Watch out, world!]

Best makeover to impress President Nixon: “Dick” [Michelle Williams gets contacts to impress the prez. He doesn't really notice because he's too busy being crooked.]

Most enjoyable makeover: “Miss Congeniality” [Sandra Bullock is not afraid to tom-boy it up just so she can get made over. Talk about bravery.]

Most satisfying makeover: “Princess Diaries” [A makeover that ends in you being the princess of your own fake country? Hells to the yeah.]

Good movie, stupid makeover: “Clueless” [Brittany Murphy allegedly gets made over in this movie ... she goes from odd-looking street girl to odd-looking street girl with a few more friends. Big whoop. The real makeover is Alicia Silverstone's inadvertent conversion from self-absorbed to self-less. Also features best "end of a movie" kiss ... Paul Rudd pulls her hair a little ... love it.]
