My new movie idea

K k, I know I havent finish writing my last movie. So instead of trying to write a script this time. I am going to just give the plot and let you guys tell me whether it is a good plot and whether it would be a movie you want to watch. For this movie, I'm leaning towards the Asian cinema...Hong Kong or something.

I haven't thought of the title but a brief idea was to call it;

Beyond Beauty
2 childhood friends, a boy and a girl, grew up in 2 very different environments. They both had lived in the same building when they were kids but during their teenage years, Jake's parents business boom and they moved to the upper side of town. Mindy's parents were blue collar workers who didn't earn much and with 4 children to raise, money was tight and Mindy was forced to discontinue her studies after Year 12. Due to her family circumstance, Mindy didn't bother much about how she looked/dressed and her looks were hiding behind a pair of large plastic frames. Jake, on the other hand, was the only child and his parents gave him everything. Born with model good looks, Jake had an exquisite taste of fashion and was well endowed with the trendiest of clothes.
Even though they grew up in different environment, the 2 friends remain close throughout their lives, meeting up often to catch up with each other. With an eye for business, Mindy started her own pet shop and was doing well. She still dressed like she was stuck in the early 90s and her hair was constantly held up with many 'nuts and bolts' and her looks were still hiding behind those plastic frames. Jake was an investment banker/model/artiste who was enjoying the high life but loved Mindy's company for he knew she was the only one true towards him because she knew him before he got famous.
Mindy had always had a crush on Jake, but he didn't know it.
One day, one of Mindy's close friends opened a beauty salon and invited her over. Jade had been trying to get Mindy to go for a makeover forever but the thrift Mindy just didn't see the need to. As an 'opening offer', Jade decided to give Mindy a makeover herself and it turns out well, she was going to hang Mindy's photo at the shop front.
True to Jade's words, Mindy's makeover was a huge success. Jade not only made over Mindy's face and hair but gave her new clothes to wear as well. Uncomfortable as she was, Mindy thanked Jade and quickly exited the salon. En route home, Mindy bumped into Jake who couldn't recognise her and started hitting on her. Afraid Jake would laugh at her and secretly loving the attention she was getting, Mindy decided not to tell Jake that it was her.
In the months to come, Mindy had to struggle with 2 personalities; Mindy and Mandy. Mandy was the name she gave to Jake for the made over look. While Mindy was shy and reserved, Mandy was more outspoken and extrovert.
Jade was the only one who knew the secret.
