YMMV / The Beautician and the Beast

• Esoteric Happy Ending: So Joy convinces Boris Puschenko to give up his President for Life status and allow free elections ... however the movie just ends there, with nothing to say what happened next for the Puschenkos. While Boris had spent the majority of the movie trying to soften up his image, there's still the detail that he's descended from a royal family where his father in particular was unabashedly referred to as a dictator. There's also the fact that while he has allowed unions and the release of the rebel leader, Alek, that still doesn't hide the fact that previously he and his family permitted the use of sweatshops for decades and imprisoned a teenager in what is literally a dungeon just for speaking out against him. There's also the fact that because Boris and his family are descended from royalty, their house, their money, all of their possessions may very well be property of the country, so if Boris were to lose the election (which is very possible, just from people who want a clean change from the previously monarchy) that the Puschenko family may very well be left destitute, with absolutely no real world experience to survive not being waited on hand and foot. And that's even assuming this isn't the sort of country where they might decide to simply do away with the former royal family as opposed to letting them leave peacefully.
  • Of course, they could all just move in with Joy Miller back in America?
