VANESSA HUDGENS AND ALEX PETTYFER IN "BEASTLY"

Since this is a Valentines weekend, here's a movie that might fire up your romantic passion this July. Starring Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen, Peter Krause and Neil Patrick Harris "Beastly" is a mix of fantasy, horror and romance, a modern-day take on the "Beauty and the Beast" tale where a New York teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love.
Here's the plot: Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) has it all – looks, intelligence, wealth and opportunity and a wicked cruel streak. Prone to mocking and humiliating “aggressively unattractive” classmates, he zeroes in on Goth classmate Kendra, inviting her to the school’s extravagant environmental bash. Kendra accepts, and, true to form, Kyle blows her off in a particularly savage fashion. She retaliates by casting a spell that physically transforms him into everything he despises. Enraged by his horrible and unrecognizable appearance he confronts Kendra and learns that the only solution to the curse is to find someone that will love him as he is – a task he considers impossible.
Repulsed by his appearance, Kyle’s callous father banishes him to Brooklyn with a sympathetic housekeeper and blind tutor. As Kyle ponders how to overcome the curse and get his old life back, he chances upon a drug addict in the act of killing a threatening dealer. Seizing the opportunity, Kyle promises the addict freedom and safety for his daughter, Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) if she will consent to live in Kyle’s Brooklyn home.

  1. I haven't seen some kind of Beauty and the Beast in a while now. Maybe I'll watch this when it comes out.

  2. Yes, and differently from TWILIGHT, here the actors are at least charming and likable.

  3. That guy is supposed to be a teen? How come no one looked like that when I was in high school?
