 Beastly Beastly Quote: Beastly is an upcoming 2011 fantasy romance film based on Alex Flinn's 2007 novel of the same name. It is a retelling of the fairytale Beauty and the Beast set in modern-day New York City. The film is written and directed by Daniel Barnz and stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, Mary Kate Olsen, Neil Patrick Harris and Lisa Gay Hamilton. The plot focuses on Kyle Kingson, a handsome man with an evil streak, who disrespects a classmate, who is a witch in disguise, during an environmental event. The witch then casts a spell on Kyle and physically transforms him into a grotesque monster. It was expected to be distributed to theaters by CBS Films and Alliance Films on July 30, 2010. It was, however, moved to March 18, 2011, in order to avoid Hudgens's film from clashing with the release of Zac Efron's film Charlie St. Cloud, but in January 2011, it was bumped up to March 4, 2011.

Re: Beastly I know I shouldn't watch this kind of film but it was wasn't as bad as it could of been. Yeah the romance is very cheesy and a lot of acts seem desperate but it does have hints of charm to it. The cast, outside of Mary Kate Olsen, really isn't that bad and it has the Neil Patrick Harris charm approval. I think the cast actually adds charm to it because it is horribly written so it is barely a miss but if written better would have been quite a good entry. **

Re: Beastly I watched this a few weeks ago - it's a passable enough teen romance. The script is AWFUL but the actors are decent enough. I actually think it could have benefited from being a little longer. It felt very anti-climactic in the end. C+
