"Beastly" (2011)

The scoop on "Beastly" including movie photos, review, trailer, interviews, poster, cast list, and more for the romantic drama starring Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens.

Synopsis: Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) has it all – looks, intelligence, wealth and opportunity – and a wicked cruel streak. Prone to mocking and humiliating “aggressively unattractive” classmates, he zeroes in on Goth classmate Kendra, inviting her to the school’s extravagant environmental bash. Kendra accepts, and, true to form, Kyle blows her off in a particularly savage fashion. She retaliates by casting a spell that physically transforms him into everything he despises. Enraged by his horrible and unrecognizable appearance he confronts Kendra and learns that the only solution to the curse is to find someone that will love him as he is – a task he considers impossible. Repulsed by his appearance, Kyle’s callous father banishes him to Brooklyn with a sympathetic housekeeper and blind tutor. As Kyle ponders how to overcome the curse and get his old life back, he chances upon a drug addict in the act of killing a threatening dealer. Seizing the opportunity, Kyle promises the addict freedom and safety for his daughter, Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) if she will consent to live in Kyle’s Brooklyn home.

Movie Review
"Beastly" is the absolute wrong choice to name a film as flawed as this one. Choose a name like that and you've just set yourself up for a batch of beastly jokes. However, because it's based on the young adult novel by Alex Flinn (which I have not read and therefore can't say how faithful the film is to the book) of the same name, I assume that...
