Reviews

astonishme Great acting. Simple plot. This is a small budget film with big actors that is destined for failure but actually shows up, greatly. Ahead of its time. This is a watch about 6 times a year film or anytime you think of love. Give it a chance, with an open mind, and you'll be thankful you did.

Leofwine_draca A truly ugly, mean-spirited teenage romance that seems to have copied the general style of TWILIGHT and is clearly aimed at the same audience, i.e. teenage girls. It's horrible stuff indeed, sort of a modern-day riff on THE UGLY DUCKLING but with some truly repulsive morals behind it.Alex Pettyfer - forever stuck making embarrassingly poor teen films due to his supposed good looks - plays a vain narcissist - hardly a stretch then - who is cursed by a witch into becoming a repulsive beast. Yes, it's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST for modern viewers, caught with an unpleasant twist: if he can get a girl to fall in love with his ugly self within a year, he'll be 'cured'. So the film hardly celebrates ugliness, it's just a torture the hero has to rid himself of while playing up the typical Hollywood idealised image.Needless to say, the acting is very poor, and Vanessa Hudgens is particularly charisma-free as the love interest. Neil Patrick Harris is the best thing in it as the blind tutor, but that's little compensation for what is an appalling viewing experience.

Katniss123 I didn't like this movie at all. There's one cliché following the other. The characters are boring and walking clichés. The good looking guy who is convinced that you can only achieve things if you're handsome? Come on, do the filmmakers think teenagers are stupid? I felt like a child who watches some movie in school to learn that good looks aren't everything. But that's not everything. This poor boy has a father who isn't interested in his son but only in his son's looks. When the boy suddenly turns "ugly" his father simply takes him to another apartment. That's so sad! I really felt sorry for myself wasting my time with this movie. The girl on the other hand is perfect. Okay it's "Beauty and the Beast" but if they wanted to make a believable story they should have made the characters way more authentic and the dialogues much better. The dialogues have no content at all and are absolutely ridiculous! I really like the story of "Beauty and the Beast" and am therefore very disappointed of this movie.

doppelsonnenuhr An empty, pretentious and rather deceitful 'love' story - all about style over substance while claiming to champion the opposite. My favourite character was the goth girl - at least she had attitude. The lead actor's performance was plastic, artificial, the plot was superficial and dishonest,An earlier review suggested that you might enjoy this film if you're a teenager. I wouldn't personally be quite so ready to insult the intelligence of the odd few teens with whom I'm personally acquainted. I usually try to avoid being so negative, but I found this film really rather annoying.
