So this is the teen version of the classic fairy tale, "Beauty and the Beast." However, it does not exactly live up to even the Disney version of the classic. It will be a hit if you have a tween in the house and the performances are charming, but as an adult it didn't quite fit the bill for my viewing pleasure. The movie stars Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer as the leads. Pettyfer portrays Kyle, a vain and cocky student who appears to get everything based on how he looks. Hudgens plays Lindy, the beautiful bookworm who does seem to capture Kyle's attention before he is cursed. The witch who curses him is Kendra (Mary Kate Olsen) and gives him a year to find some to love him.
So if you are familiar with the tale, it follows it directly and in the end true love does prevail. There is no need for me to see the movie again, but it wasn't pure torture to watch. If you want to see it, then watch it, if you don't than skip it.
I give it a 5 out of 10.
Next up is "Fast Five."
