direction: Palansky, M.
screenplay: Caveny, L.

Fairly standard fairytale – curses, true love and inner beauty.
general impression:
entertaining.

generic.
highs:
it’s not horrible. James McAvoy.
notes:
I actually like this movie. It’s very standard and it’s very entertaining.
Of course, if you start thinking of the huge amount of chick flicks that has been produced over the years – this little movie doesn’t really stand out. It’s nothing special but at least, it’s not boring. It’s pretty funny, actually. The archetypes are played well. The twists are well planned and executed beautifully.
Penelope is mediocre fun and if you’re looking for something to pass the time, you’ll find this OK. If you’re looking for something more substantial, this one can be skipped.
FINAL RATING:
[3] out of [5]
