Ahhh I love James McAvoy! LOL. Really cute movie with a good message about learning to love yourself first before anyone else can love you back.

Cutesy and a sweetly ambiguous modern fairy tale.

A curse that was placed on the Wilhern family a century ago has now found a home with the birth of Penelope (Christina Ricci). Born with pig features, Penelope is immediately hidden from view by her overprotective parents (Catherine O'Hara and Richard E. Grant), with hopes that one day marriage to a "blue blood" will break the curse forever. Now a young woman, Penelope is in the midst of repelling suitor after suitor until she meets Max (James McAvoy), a gambling addict with his own reasons to be kind to the disfigured woman. Ricci is an enchanting presence, though I've seen people with real noses far less dainty than her prosthetic pig snout. McAvoy is his usual confident self, though he is missing some of the spark we know he is capable of delivering. Producer Reese Witherspoon is good fun in a quirky supporting role. consequently very difficult not to root for Penelope through her many misadventures over the film's running time.

a very likable modern fairy tale, with extremely adorable characters! Was a surprise to see Reese Witherspoon in a lathered chick but she did pull it off well!

Fantastic and wonderful! Lovely and enchanted! But I got a doubt...if she acepted herself as she was...why her nose was gone? I prefer her as a pig than as a normal girl. Well, its a movie...thats why in EARTH people prefer the beauty knowing that beauty dosnt stay forever..it gets old and dirty...and then dies...and its true...your not beautiful forever...its sad but true. People should accept them as they are, by heart, not cause she or he is handsome or gorgeous or has a great body...hell no. Anyway, great cast, great film, cool and funny...its worth it...yeah it is. Recomend it!

At certain times in the movie I thought Simon Woods looked a bit like Paul Bettany.

this looks good not only because of the fact that it turns out to be a love story and we all love {L.O.V.E.} But it is a story of compassion. We all need to know of compassion. Christ preached it but we still didn't get it. He preached it through music; trough lyics of other singers voices, but did we get it? No! So lets try and get it when He opens up some whop butt in a movie, this is God's Compassion trying to say no matter what race, no matter what color, no matter what size, no matter what the person did He will still love us and He does. Come on people open your hearts and if not your hearts then your eyes and if not your eyes then at least read what I'm saying and try and understand it. Christ died for you not because it was something He had to do but because He wanted to, it was His compassion for us. God Bless!
