I went into watching this movie with low expectations. I'd read a little about it, and people had generally said that it didn't live up to its potential. Saddened me, but I had to see it at least once.

I'm glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Christina and James did an excellent job in this story, and the only bit I felt was lacking was more of James after Penelope escape... read more

Penelope has been cursed by a witch from long ago, and was born with a pig's nose. If she is ever truly loved for herself by her own kind, this slight oddity will disappear. However, this curse so traumatizes her par... read more

"First viewing - Jan. 19th I wanted to check this one out due mainly to the cast, and the cast certainly made it worthwhile. The story was mostly predictable, but most of the time I was engaged with the characters enough that I didn't mind it too much. So overall I thought it was worthwhile, and if someone really wanted to watch it I'd sit through it again but otherwise probably won't need to see it a second time. Just a thought: One of these days Peter Dinklage needs to win an Oscar for his a"
