    A wonderfully entertaining movie about a woman who pretends to want the best for her daughter when all she is trying to do is not loose face herself, thus keeping her 'malformed' girl hidden upstairs - literally. This is essentially a movie about a young woman finding her own way in life - no matter her looks - and eventually discovering what it takes to be happy ... in the most unlikely places. A first also for Reese Witherspoon in a most unlikely role which she pulled off magnificently. Good performances all-round compound with a storyline that will hopefully make a lot of people think about their own lives and seeking true happiness. Good Luck!

    OMG~! There's so much squee I don't know where to begin! I squeed and almost screamed TORCHWOOD when I saw Burn Gorman (his accent is weird though) and I squeed again when I saw Nick Frost. Christina Ricci and James McAvoy are so cute together - and the butler, I just love butlers, full stop. All in all, it's just made me a warm ball of fuzzy squee~

    A refreshingly different film. Some great characters and it makes a change from your average romance.

    A deligtful fairytale comedy that suprised me as to its clevernes and enjoyment. Having expected a chik-flick I was suprised to find a clever little story that has something for everyone. Ricci and McAvoy deliver wonderful performances and Peter Dinklage gives one of his best. O'Hara does what she does best and Witherspoon is perhaps the weakest link. All in all a good film that is worth watching.

    At certain times in the movie I thought Simon Woods looked a bit like Paul Bettany.

    this looks good not only because of the fact that it turns out to be a love story and we all love {L.O.V.E.} But it is a story of compassion. We all need to know of compassion. Christ preached it but we still didn't get it. He preached it through music; trough lyics of other singers voices, but did we get it? No! So lets try and get it when He opens up some whop butt in a movie, this is God's Compassion trying to say no matter what race, no matter what color, no matter what size, no matter what the person did He will still love us and He does. Come on people open your hearts and if not your hearts then your eyes and if not your eyes then at least read what I'm saying and try and understand it. Christ died for you not because it was something He had to do but because He wanted to, it was His compassion for us. God Bless!

    Well IMDB says it was released in 2006 only because it premiered at the Toronto Film Fesitval in September of 2006. IMDB just updated and it now says that it will be released on February 1st, 2008 in The United States and Canada.

    I'd really like to see this and I've been waiting for over a year...
