The TV Movie, Lying to Be Perfect attempts an extreme makeover

Lying to Be Perfect

Lying to Be Perfect

In Lying to Be Perfect (Saturday, 8 p.m., Lifetime), Nola (Poppy Montgomery) is an overweight magazine editor who has a deep, meaningful relationship with doughnuts. She’s a frumpy doormat in the office but has devised a secret alter ego: a sexy advice columnist whom no one has ever seen. Complications arise when a mean editor demands that the mysterious columnist make a personal appearance, so Nola must cut out junk food to find her beautiful inner self.

Yes, we’re in fantasyland — an alternate universe where diets immediately work miracles, and where Poppy Montgomery is initially presented as an ugly duckling. (This is a woman who played Marilyn Monroe in a TV biopic, for God’s sake.) But if you’re willing to suspend disbelief, Lying to Be Perfect is an enjoyable tale of female empowerment. It made me want to abandon doughnuts myself — though if I don’t get Montgomery-level results in 30 minutes, I’m heading right back the bakery.
