User Review:
General praise for the movie, I mean if I voted it 10/10, then I can't very well be dissing it can I? , rated: 10/10
A modern take on the classic story "Beauty and the Beast", that captures present day life while enriching it with the magic and mystery of the past. A movie that reminds us of the Disney classic with which we grew up and allows the child within us to surface, even if he only does so for the next hour or so. However, at the end, this inner child is not forgotten, but simply sits back down and allows the adult to once again take up the reins. But, as all children he will not sit there quietly, but will remind us incessantly at times, that we are all Belles, or Lindy's and that true love will find us eventually, no matter how much we shy away from it, in the most unlikely of places. And for those audience members who have slightly more testosterone in their bodies, it gives the opportunity to embrace the beauty in the most unlikely guises. Beautiful and heartwarming, it's a movie which turns the word "fairytale" on it's head and is definitely worth a great deal more than the 12.50 that I paid to see it.
