It’s not a wonderful ‘Life’

MIX an abused runaway teenage girl (Angela Sarafyan) with an Asian stripper in a blond wig (Bai Ling) and an illegal immigrant from South America (Jesse Garcia), and what do you get?

“A Beautiful Life,” a formulaic drama set on the streets of Los Angeles.

Directed by Alejandro Chomski and based on the play “Jersey City” by Wendy Hammond, who co-penned the screenplay, “A Beautiful Life” makes little attempt to be credible or original. And the acting is poor.

If the movie has anything resembling a selling point, it has to be Sarafyan’s bedroom eyes.

Running time: 81 minutes. Not rated (sexuality). At the Quad, 13th Street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
