Penelope (2006)

PenelopeSTARRING:
Christina Ricci
James McAvoy
Catherine O'Hara
Reese Witherspoon
Peter Dinklage
Richard E. Grant
Simon Woods
Michael Feast

PLOT:
A modern day fairy tale about a young woman trying to break a curse passed down to her because of one of her ancestors' indiscretions.

MY TAKE:
One of my favorite new films. It's a cute story with beautiful cinematography and some very good acting. One of the highlights of the film is James McAvoy, whom I first remember seeing in Becoming Jane although he was also Mr. Tumnus in the recent adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. And let's not forget Christina Ricci . . . (I think I actually had a crush on her at one time).

I really can't think of anything negative to say about this film. It's just an all-around good film.

MY RATING: 9/10

Of course you may!

Note that I changed the name slightly. I was trying to be clever.
