Review of Beastly (2011) by Buggy B — 04 Jun 2014

Well that's a shame because the book was pretty good. Just a terrible movie on all counts, bad acting from the two leads (well everyone involved actually) cliché story -even for a teen drama and ended up feeling more like a TV show. I also didn't care for Kyle's beast makeup, (it was OTT) and honestly never did figure out how he explained his changes to his father? The story also jumps around with serious continuality issues, I mean you know what's happening and why but it just felt rushed and didn't flow properly. On the plus-side I did enjoy (surprise) one of the Olsen twins as the witch and Neil Patrick Harris's blind character gave a me a couple of smirks -not even laughs though. 6/4/14.

In this retelling of beauty and the beast a teenager must find the a girl who loves him for who he is after his once handsome appearance is disfigured by a curse upon retaliation for a cruel prank.
