Review of Beastly (2011) by Sheila R — 06 Apr 2012
"Beastly" is a deplorable film. This modern re-telling of "Beauty and the Beast" is so ham-fisted, so ridiculous, so poorly written, so chaotically directed, so nauseatingly acted that I can't seem to think anyone would like it.
Even it's teen demographic shouldn't be treated this badly. "Beastly" makes "Twilight" look like credible, worthwhile films. Granted, "Beastly" has a lot more energy than "Twilight" and at least Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens try as hard as they can to make Daniel Barnz's inhuman dialogue work, but these things really don't matter because of how stupid and flawed the story is.
In the end, this is basically everything you could ever possibly do to make a film terrible. It's easily going to be one of the worst films of 2011.
