Beastly is a movie about what is really important in a person. The main character Kyle Kingson has to learn lifes valuable lessons. Kyle is a young, wealthy, and intelligent guy who thinks of himself as better than his less attractive classmates. One of those classmates is Kendra, who is Goth. When Kyle invites her to an event, then blows her off and made it a joke, she got back at him by casting a spell on him. The spell made him look extremely unattractive and can only be broken if he can find someone that loves him for who he is. Kyle sees this as impossible because he thinks looks are everything. Kyle’s dad is repulsed by his new looks and sends Kyle to Brooklyn to live with a tutor and a housekeeper. While in Brooklyn, Kyle comes across a drug dealer in trouble and is confronted with the opportunity to offer the drug dealer’s daughter safety by living in his house. Even though Lindy is opposed at first, the drug dealer wants to keep her safe. Then he was faced with working towards breaking the curse. The main character who plays Kyle is Alex Pettyfer. He is a very good actor for this movie. He played the part well. The other main character in the movie was Lindy played by Vanessa Hudgens. She also played her character very well. The two characters seemed to have a good relationship on set together. Lindy’s character is just trying to survive and get back to her house with her dad. While Kyle is simply preoccupied with doing whatever is necessary to break the curse. The theme of the movie would be that beauty is not only skin deep, it is what is on the inside that really matters. I thought the movie was pretty good. According to other reviews this movie was way off from the book. Others said the ending completely changed, names changed, important parts were omitted, and a weak plot. Because I did not read the book I can’t completely agree or disagree with the reviews. I liked the movie however, and believe it is worth your time and money to go watch it if you like romances. Overall, I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to others.
