If you havent watched the movie the dont read this as it will go into detail about it and spoil it for you.
I really enjoyed this new, modern day spin to the tale of Beauty and the Beast. It followed the story line of a vain boy getting cursed by a witch to learn the true meaning of love and beauty, and finding a girl to love him for who he truely is.
The movie opens with a school campain for president of some green campain, but lets face it you werent paying attention to what they were running for. You were paying attention to how the boy, girl, and witch interact. You learn right away that the boy is arrogant and vain and really needs to be smacked. The girl had been watching him from affar even though he was an ass and the witch was totally going to curse his ass.
Then it moves to him trying to trick the witch and humiliate her, but ends with him getting cursed. But before that he becomes smitten with the girl of his dreams.
What follows is him wallowing for a whiole in self loathing before running into the girl again and realizing he loves her. He then begins in ernest trying to protect her and win her heart.
He writes her a letter in long hand about his feelings which she reads when, you guessed it, she has to go see her father who over dosed. He the hides away from her until he realizes that there is no way that she couldnt love him since she saw a beautiful man underneath. They then kiss, she tells him she loves him, and he turns back to the beautiful man he was and she realizes he was her classmate that she liked all along. Happy ending.
There were only a few parts that I didnt like but they were easily overlooked since the movie was fiction. The part where he follows her around like a stalker is telling people that its ok to be creepy and watch people when they don't know your there. I let that go though considering that he didnt want her to see what he really looked like. But the thing that I couldnt let go was that there was no dancing furnature! Yes the blind guy was a nice touch but who doesnt like seeing and dancing appliances?
Other than those few things I found wrong with the movie I overall loved it. It was one of those perfect romance story of boy finds out how to be a better person because of love of a girl. Ands girl feels really great for taming a bad boy. Who wouldnt like that? Well probably people that hate romances....but they suck so it doesn't matter.
This movie gets a 5 out of 5 on my must watch scale, so get it now.
