Movie Review
Review by Robert Bell
"Beauty and the Beast" meets "The Frog Prince" in this creative update on fairy tale ideas of love and beauty. "Penelope" isn't going to reinvent the fantasy genre by any means, but it does offer a pleasant perspective on loving someone for who they are rather than what is seen on the surface.

March 2, 2008I really liked Penelope.I went and seen thsi movie with my girls and we thought it was really good.The plot was great and it is just a must see for everyone but especially moms and daughters because it really shows you how accepting your differences is what really makes you happy not what everyone else thinks and wants.Reese Witherspoon has done it again.Julie
