Makeover scene is horrible and almost ruins the film


I’m not even some SJW type and that scene is pretty insulting. Change yourself completely to please someone else? What was Hughes thinking? Not to mention she looked better before the makeover so it makes no sense

It's Claire's interpretation of what Allison should look like so obviously it's going to be a bit much. (Too much makeup, awful dress). And like others say it wasn't Allison's decision, but you can tell she enjoyed being noticed/ accepted (and why wouldn't you if you've been ignored by your parents most of your life)
