  Set in some weird New York London land and starring an eclectic mix of Hollywood a-list and England's finest 'light' entertainers, Penelope is understandably a little lost in where it wants to be as much what it tries to achieve. There is nothing wrong with being odd, or even quirky, in fact Fairtales do much better when they are but unlike all fairytales, Penelope doesn't really have a message or should I say, it contradicts every message it tries to convey rendering it a little redundant and ultimately pointless. The odd cameo kept me amused and Christina Ricci was adorable I have to admit. I certainly didn't dislike the film, it just didn't really work. If only the script writers were drinking what the production people were having, then it might have been something very special, instead it is acceptably quirky but nothing more.

  Penelope (Christina Ricci) is cursed with a pig nose so her family are in pursuit of a suitor who will break the curse. James McAvoy is great in this movie. A bit of an unusual role for Reese Witherspoon but she's great too. It is certificate U but some scenes might be a bit scarey for young kids.

  A movie that's too adorable for words with true love mixed right in :)

• Jennifer D

  
  It definitely lulled in the middle and a few other parts. But it was still a cutey. I love fairy tales and love, so this was some winners. Plus James McAvoy is crazy fucking hot. So yummy. And Catherine O'Hara is genius always and forever.

  this wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. i thought it was going to be horrible but it was actually a good movie. it's nothing special or great and it's cliches and predictable and wierd at times but it's sweet and isn't really stupid or boring like… More

  Penelope makes you want to stop being so vain, and start being a bit more of a flexible person. Worth seeing indefinitely.

  CAST: Christina Ricci, James McAvoy, Simon Woods, Catherine O'Hara, Richard E. Grant, Peter Dinklage, Reese Witherspoon, Ronni Ancon, Michael Feast DIRECTED BY: Mark Palansky SUMMARY: A modern romantic tale about a young aristocratic heiress born under a curse that can only be broken when she finds true love with "one who will love her faithfully." MY THOUGHTS: "Well I really had no desire to see this flick, but considering all the good actors it had going for it, I decided, why not? I really enjoyed the whole story. Mostly the characters. Liked Reese in this film, and loved James and Christina. The story has a good message and good acting. So give it watch. You may like it more then you think.. I know I did."

  All that fuss over a snout? I've seen uglier pushing strollers in town centres. The film is average. Its 'message', its plot, the way it was shot...all average. Even Richard E. Grant was average, and he is rarely ever that mundane an actor. Ronni Ancona was WASTED in… More

Grant was average, and he is rarely ever that mundane an actor. Ronni Ancona was WASTED in her pitifully small and inconsequential role.

  This movie is so cute. WELL DONE!

  Here's the thing....I get it, it's a fantasy and it's not for people like me who have given up on the world and are completely cynical, but that doesn't mean you can throw out all logic to tell the story. It looked and felt like one of those movies that is on at… More
  Here's the thing....I get it, it's a fantasy and it's not for people like me who have given up on the world and are completely cynical, but that doesn't mean you can throw out all logic to tell the story. It looked and felt like one of those movies that is on at Best Buy during the day because it doesn't offend anyone and has the look of an hour and a half long music video. And shame on Peter Dinklage for taking all of the Warwick Davis roles. I will say that there are some pretty people to look at (dude, come on, McAvoy is a hot guy), but there is also a lot of wasted talent involved as well (O'Hara, Witherspoon).

  Sweet fable, Richard E. Grant and especially Catherine O'Hara are highly amusing as the parents.

• Film C

  
  a lovely light hearted movie with a great cast a good sense of humour and a nice movie to watch

• Arash X

  
  I'm giving this such a high rating because it was one of the few tolerable fairy tales that I've ever seen, If you want to make a feel-good fairytale with a cliche moral & an annoying lead like Ricci please make it like this

• danny d

  
  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.

• Alice S

  
  Sweet and cute, but the breaking of the spell was a little too easy (in terms of cinematic climax, not Penelope's existential crisis). Max should have done something grander to prove his love. James McAvoy is so hot.

• Chris W

  
  Funny, whimsical, charming, and features some good performances from a nice cast.

• Jennifer X

  
  Good fairy tale essence mixed with real life experience. Christina Ricci has just the right kind of face to pull this off, kinda oddball but all the same adorable. Judging from the storyline, this movie is 100% what I expected it to be. It was too long, though.

• Nani V

  
  Unique fairytale, sorta movie. Loved it!

• Summer W

  
  I very much enjoyed it. It's a modern, live-action fairy tell with a nice message. Plus, James McAvoy is a cutie.
