For you tweenies (or parents looking for a pretty good movie to show your kids) Beastly is that movie. In a society that is constantly inundated with sex, violence, and greed gracing movie and television screens, it’s always great to find a movie that doesn’t require all the generic gimmicks to pull off a good story.
Beauty starts from within is the major theme here, and when someone forgets that, its shows….LITERALLY. I don’t want to give away anymore than that. GBU rating gives this movie:

I couldn’t give this film a perfect score, not because the plot was an unoriginal makeover of Beauty and the Beast—after all, I don’t believe any plot is 100% original. Rather, the plot’s pace was slow in some critical moments, and the ending could’ve been a bit more realistic (the girl didn’t seem surprised enough, I’ll just leave it at that).
Either way, I think its definitely worth a watch. It’s wholesome, and delivers a good moral. Check out the trailer, and pick it up from Redbox if you’re interested.
