Beastly (2011): *



Beastly, based on Alex Finn’s novel, is a modern retelling of the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast. Kyle (Alex Pettyfer), the arrogant superficial son of a famous news presenter, is campaigning to become president in his high school’s Green committee. Not out of concerns of the environment, but because it will look good on his college applications, which he states to his fellow students. Kyle wins the election on the basis of popularity and being handsome, angering the high school’s witch Kendra (Mary-Kate Oslen) into placing a curse on Kyle, changing his appearance. With only a year to find someone to say ‘I love you’ to break the curse, could the kind-hearted Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) be the one to see the good underneath Kyle’s exterior?
