[Lau] successfully balances satire and sentimentality in the first half, but loses his bearings in the sappier second part.

It's tough to find comedy in a dead-serious, skid-row-set film about homelessness, sexual abuse, incest and the exploitation of immigrants, but the misguided A Beautiful Life manages to provide unintentional laughs by the barrel.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The film strains credulity by pushing its characters wildly to and fro with a shamelessly sentimental screenplay.

A Beautiful Life is nicely shot and features some appealing actors, and that's about it for the good news. The bad news is that the characters and situations are platitudes and the story is so heavy-handed that the film is hard to sit through.

This intertwined tale of people struggling on society's fringe plays like bad community theater.

Unfortunately, Lau throws in one too many wrinkles, squandering our empathy by forcing us through a long-winded relationship involving betrayal and illness.

There's simply not enough for Maggie and David to do to sustain an entire movie.

A Beautiful Life makes little attempt to be credible or original. And the acting is poor.

Product Description:
Two lost souls find meaning in a world of chaos in this independent drama directed by Alejandro Chomski and adapted from the play by Wendy Hammond. Desperate teen Maggie (Angela Sarafayan) is on the run from her abusive father, and young immigrant David (Jesse Garcia) is scouring the streets of L.A. for his missing mother. When David and Maggie meet, their fractured lives finally start to make sense. A BEAUTIFUL LIFE also features Dana Delany and Debi Mazar.
