Profile of Beastly

Beastly can be described as sentimental, touching, and bittersweet. The plot revolves around outward appearances, true love, and an unlikely couple. The main genres are romance and fantasy. In terms of style, Beastly is fairytale-like. In approach, it is fantastical. It is set, at least in part, in an urban environment. Beastly is located in New York. It takes place in contemporary times. It is based on a book. Beastly is well suited for a girls' night, a date night, and teens. Note that it involves mild violent content, drugs/alcohol, and profanity.

Summary of Beastly

After arrogant teenager Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) humiliates a Goth classmate (Mary-Kate Olsen), she puts a curse on him that transforms him from a hunk into a hideous creature. To break the hex, Kyle must find someone who loves him for what he's become. Living with a housekeeper after his heartless father (Peter Krause) throws him out, he connects with an addict's daughter (Vanessa Hudgens) in this contemporary take on Beauty and the Beast.

I expected more from this cast
I feel very disappointing with this movie. It does have its moments, and it provides the essential sentiment, but it could have been much better.
A nice attempt, but the outcome – not so much…
Instead of becoming another touching teenage love fantasy, "Beastly" falls hard and I can't quite put my finger on the reason. Maybe it's because it spoon-feeds the audience, and here it's even worse than usual, since you kind of get the filling...
Likely to see
Not for me

Jinni is best for now in Firefox, Internet Explorer 7 and 8, and Chrome
