Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay (2002) Reviews

Member Rating:

In this broadly satirical TV biopic, Shirley MacLaine pulls out all the stops as legendary cosmetics queen Mary Kay Ash. In Citizen Kane fashion, Mary Kay relates her rise to the top of the home-beauty industry to an inquiring reporter (Rachel Crawford), never allowing an opportunity pass to emphasize how many doors she has opened for the working women of America. Ultimately, however, Mary Kay's predominance is threatened by a much younger (and shriller) rival, Jinger Heath (Parker Posey), whose BeautiControl company takes an enormous bite out of Mary Kay's share of the market. Caught in the middle is a slightly off-center beauty named Lexi Wilcox (Shannen Doherty). Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay originally aired on October 6, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This movie was very broadly played and not entirely believeable. Shirley Maclaine was the most unlike herself as I've ever seen her. She really "got" what Mary Kay was all about and portrayed her with sympathy and humor. The Parker Posey character was the most unbelieveable of all. Unless you're really into Mary Kay, I'd skip it.
