    "It's not the power of the curse - it's the power you give the curse."

    Penelope....was ok. It wasn't the best movie I ever seen. It wasn't the most moving movie I ever seen. It was just ok. The actors were ok. I don't know. It felt like a big hole was missing from the plo...( read more)t. Maybe it was the fact that it was just a stupid little plot with a stupid outcome. Christina is a predictable actor and Catherine O'Hare was just annoying. Reese was also slightly annoying as well. I dont know. It was just a nothing.

    Admittedly the only reason I watched this one was its name, but hey.... I liked it :)
    I think there's a good lesson to be learned in this story on the lines of looks aren't everything.
    Fun movie to watch

    Penelope is a great movie.
    A rich family is cursed, to have their first born daughter born disfigured, and can only be broken when one of her own excepts her, as she is.
    Penelope is a classic fairy tale story, with a good moral. It was sweet and fun, and very enjoyable for both...( read more) me and my 6 year old daughter.
    This film has an excellent cast. I absolutely adore Christina Ricci. I think she is beautiful and she is a commanding actress. She was wonderful as Penelope. I really enjoyed Cathrine O'Hara, I have enjoyed watching her ever since Beetlejuice. She was the mother with an evil side, that you both hated and felt a little sorry for. James McAvoy meshed well with Christina, and he is very handsome. I enjoyed the little cameo by Nick Frost, I only wish they would have showed more with him.
    Penelope is definitely one to check out, if you haven't seen it. It's a fun, feel good film that the whole family will enjoy watching.

    the ladies will love this flick. my wife has seen it 5 times at least. theres nothing necessarily bad about the flick, although a few scenes fail under logic, but when the flick was over i just didnt care much that i had seen it. the cornerstone of what it means to be average.

    It was one of the sweetest "fairytale" type movies I have seen in a long time. I bought it, and every friend of mine who has seen this, also loved it. It is a good family movie.
