Yes!!! That was a fantastic show and my husband and I and many friends and relatives will really miss it, so having a movie would be great!

This should definitely be a movie!

This would be amazing! Am really sad that this has been axed, but reckon a silver screen version could be as successful as the Sex and the City film

Yes I'd love a movie! I want to see if Daniel and Betty actually get together and work out!! I was thinking at the end when they took "Ugly" off "Ugly Betty" that there might be a new show coming on to showcase her life in London as "Betty."...well...one can hope!

I think that would be so great, I just love Ugly Betty and I am sad that is had finished :(
but a film would mean it went out with a bang.

Ugly Betty on big screen! That would be amazing hit! I would certainly go and see it.
Furthermore, I think that Betty has so much more to say and do, and I would love to see Daniel in it (with Eric Mabius in it, of couse).

Yes, an Ugly Betty movie should happen, because I felt that even though the writers did well in closing some plot points and storylines, in other's I felt as if the storyline, show, and fans were cheated, but I blame the network instead of the writing team. The network threw the show under the bus, by changing the time slot, because very few shows can withstand the game of musical time slots. Futhermore, it was insulting that Ugly Betty was cut a couple of episodes then only to recieve an one hour time slot for the finale.

The finale was beautiful, bittersweet, and honestly heartbreaking, but it was missing something. However, I did think that it was nicely ironic for the show to end with Betty being the big shot, so to speak whereas Daniel was the one starting over and trying to prove himself.

I think it would make a lovely movie. Especially a new love interest for Betty.

I agree with Jess..I was just thinking that when I read her comments..Betty could take off just like S A T C...it has the right characters and Betty is a fun person like Carrie..

Uh hell yeah! I'm loving U.B at the moment and she is such a good character... I can't wait!

Ugly Betty fuelled my passion for the magazine bizz :) A movie would give us all closure, despite there being no more seasons...
So in conclusion, an Ugly Betty movie gets a YES vote from moi ~

yes there should definitly be a movie, i would love to watch it, i love ugly betty it shows that you can follow your dreams and make it big

Yes!!! Me and my family are loyal viewers. The UB writers were high quality and could produce and excellent closure movie. We are also surprised by the show "being thrown under a bus" after it won so many awards and broke primetime prejudices. It should've outlasted The Cosby Show.
