Product Description
Product Description
Seventeen-year-old Kyle (Alex Pettyfer) is the spoiled, shallow and incredibly popular prince of his high school kingdom. Kyle foolishly chooses Kendra (Mary-Kate Olsen), a witch masquerading as a high school student, as his latest target for humiliation. In order to teach Kyle a lesson, Kendra transforms him into someone as unattractive on the outside as he is on the inside. Now he has one year to find someone to love him, or he will remain Beastly forever. A quiet classmate he never noticed named Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) may be his best chance to prove that love is never ugly.

Beastly definitely lives up to its name--it's an absolutely beastly film--and not in a good way. It's a modern-day retelling of Beauty and the Beast based on Alex Flinn's novel Beastly, and one expects some pretty extreme characters, but in this movie, the characters are shallow and one-dimensional to the extreme, and their supposed personal and emotional growth is totally unbelievable. As for the plot--self-absorbed pretty-boy gets cursed, nice girl gets imprisoned with now-ugly boy, boy changes, and the two fall in love--it just never feels real or believable in this film. With a cast that includes Vanessa Hudgens and Neil Patrick Harris, one expects a halfway decent movie, but no amount of talent can overcome bad writing. In fact, one has to question whether Hudgens and Harris even tried, as their performances just aren't that good. The performances of Alex Pettyfer and Peter Krause are even worse, and Lisa Gay Hamilton only saves herself by her comic delivery of lines that primarily consist of two to three heavily accented monosyllables strung together at a time. The audience at our screening squirmed, laughed in inappropriate places, and even groaned out loud as the actors casually tossed off nuggets of wisdom in proper language that seemed totally out of place with the rest of the slang-riddled dialogue. Perhaps truisms like "Be the man I know you to be," lines quoted from Frank O'Hara's poem "Having a Coke," and statements like "Best embrace the suck" are supposed to come off as funny contrasts, but instead it all just seems hopelessly incongruous and falls horribly flat. The one good thing in this movie is the special-effects makeup, though Kyle's face probably looks nothing like the face that most people picture when they read Flinn's book. Don't bother seeing Beastly unless you enjoy sneering at bad, shallow movies. (Ages 13 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2016When I first saw the Beastly movie, I honestly didn't think much about it. I thought it was an okay modern day story and kind of overlooked it. It wasn't until shortly after when I saw it again that I really began to see how amazing this movie was. There are a few elements in the film that's different from the novel - but of course, that's to be expected. No movie and book are ever 100% on the same level. As far as the characters go: I think Alex Pettyfer (Kyle Kingson/Hunter) captured the Prince's arrogance perfectly. I think Vanessa Hudgens's "Belle" (Lindy) however needed some work. Sure Belle was an independent, smart woman, but i felt like Lindy was too laid back, too...NOT Belle. If that makes sense. She didnt have enough "character" to me. BUT maybe that's because this story was focused primarily on the Beast's POV rather than Belle's like in the animated feature...Mary-Kate Olsen as Kendra the witch was AMAZING.
Kyle Kingson is a prick. He's selfish, self-righteous, self-absorbed and disrespectful to anyone he wants. His good looks and being the son of a famous news anchor is his perfect manipulative quality. He looks good and knows it. But his foul attitude is just a cover up for being a lonely kid whose father is never there when he needs him. Shame that he couldn't "Embrace the Suck" as he always told those beneath him. That's when Kendra the school witch comes in and changes that. Kendra is obviously the oddball out - seen as evil, ugly, gothy, and repulsive - though when you look at her you instead find a rather dark beauty. After Kyle screws with her, Kendra gives him the curse of a lifetime, and only true love can cure it. The next year for Kyle (who later renames himself Hunter) is an up and down roller coaster ride. He goes from being this vicious jerk, to lonely, desperate, and perhaps even accepting. And then Lindy comes into the picture, and for the first time not only does Hunter become convinced that there's a legit possibly of his curse being reversed - but that he could actually be falling in love. Beastly is a modern day tale that has to grow on you. The more you watch it, the more hooked with it you will become.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2024I really like this movie always have.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2019I love this movie because I'm living it today. Only thing is, I been spelled with Tinea Versicolor right now. I been this way for 5months now. This really hurts! I hate to go outside, I hate to let people see me. I even wanted to take my own life. This are so very embarrassing. But, there one friend of mines now. She met me looking this way and believe me I really didn't want her to see me. I tried everything but, I did made a deal with her before to do her Tattoo. So, she came with her 12year old daughter. She was so Beautiful, my nerves went numb to the fact that she seem my face. She act as I doesn't have nothing on my face. (I feel my heart beating really fast in a great way writing this). But, she was still talking to me, holding my hand and made me keep looking in her eyes. Every since so far we still text and talk on the phone almost everyday. She making me go to the beach with her and her oldest Daughter and two Sons. I know that she is my Spell Bounder Reliever. This spell, will be Relieve from me at once...
- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2015Cons: I wanted to give this three and a half stars but the rating system doesn't work that way. But, I found the pros to be strong enough to give it the full four. So the actual cons; the story is rushed. There are certain places it is obvious we have to get to the point and understand how things are going to transition. So the dialogue becomes very ... "explainy." Instead of just normal conversation where we understand what is happening. There are some very unrealistic events that happen, and from what modern american culture thinks of relationships some of this is very unbelievable but yet ironically believable at the same time. The acting is ok, but I'll repeat the story was sort of rushed in places.
Pros: The movie was a sweet love story. It was sort of unpredictable because of the twist that involved magic. While some of the events that took place were a bit cliche, there was a lot of story here that the writer had to unfold. I think this movie could be remade and really done spectacularly, simply because the story and ideas are good. Neil Patrick Harris brought in some good humor, and there was a lady who played a medium amount of scenes who added well to the movie.
Sarcasm from me and some plot spoilers. The ending I will not tell, you can watch it for yourself. Remember, I said sarcasm, there is a point to why I bring the follwing points to light ...
Yeah, of course the girl falls for him, ugly or not, he's filthy rich, he builds her a green house, full of roses (which she loves) on top of a twenty million dollar penthouse in New York, and then eventually takes her to a forty-five million dollar lake house. Girls don't care what a guy looks like if he is completely rich and has all the time in the world...duh. He never explains to her that he basically black mailed her dad into making her stay with the boy...umm...maybe if the WHOLE story he told her wasn't a LIE she might have walked away in the first place. But she just accepted that during the last six months of her life, the man she fell in love with was completely lying to her, of course, because now not only is he rich but he is "good looking," (if anybody thinks this actor is attractive.) I don't know if the guy is good looking or not, to me he looks pretty good. Great hair, nice skin, nothing too big or small on his face...but...this is the typical American attitude: girls only like guys for looks, and if they are ugly they better be well endowed and in great shape, or rich....
I am pretty sure that these previous sarcastic thoughts many men's heads whom watch this and are American, so the story might only be enjoyed by people who do believe that true real love can exist between two people. I as an American man do not, believe that all women are looking for any of those things solely, but a woman looking for a man to love is truly looking for someone whom she loves, whom loves her equally. So money and physical appearance aside, I think these characters actually portray falling in love with eachother realistically, by the acting, script, and by the story, both of which were rushed to a point that it made the love part of the story easy to question.

3.0 out of 5 stars ヴァネッサ好きは是非。
High School Musical以降、高校スターを卒業しようとしている様子が目立ったヴァネッサ。
外面の美しさと内面の醜さが入れ変わってしまった青年をI am No.4のアレックス・ぺティファーが演じ、父親のために生活で苦労する高校生をヴァネッサが演じています。私はだいぶ前にNovelの方を読んでいたので、すこし期待からは外れました。けれど、HSMのヴァネッサが好きな方は見て損ないと思います。

5.0 out of 5 stars Un film romantique
Un joli film rappelant la belle et la bête dans une version moderne. Les acteurs jouent juste on passe un bon moment loin de la réalité du monde...
