Boy meets girl. Certain disagreements ensue and are hashed out. Boy gets girl. I don't need wicked villains. I don't need complicated storylines stretching back for centuries. I don't need sophisticated CGI-effects.
And that's what I got with Penelope.
Like all good fairy tales, it comes with a princess trapped in a tower - like a modern-day Rapunzel. But all stories need a witch - and that twist in the tale is added to spice things up - so our princess Penelope has been placed under a family curse that gives her the face of a pig... at least till someone of her own kind falls for her. Reason enough that the family shuts her beastly self in the highest tower.
The prince drops by!
Be that as it isn't the sixteenth century, her rich mama immediately engages the services of a matchmaking agency to find all the blueblood boys in town. Which also comes to the attention of a certain low-rent prince charming played by the adorably scruffy James McAvoy.
If you love modern-dary fairy tales, you'd certainly fall for Penelope.

love penelope. Although I might be biased as I love James mcavoy, the movie is definitely awesome. I love the way they make it seem as though it doesn't have a happy ending XD
And p/s: bedtime stories promises to be an interesting movie indeed.

True, MacAvoy does make the movie worth watching - as does the lovely Christina Ricci, raeshad.
