In 1992, Disney released a very memorable animated version of the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast - complete with a fantastic soundtrack and dazzling choreography! Up to now, the image of the teacup singing to Beauty and the Beast has stuck to my mind!
Well, Beastly updates the same story for today's young crowd. It's perfect that they chose Alex Pettyfer - who really is hot - even with the bizarre make-up. I find it also amusing that they put Mary-Kate Olsen as the 'witch' who casts a spell on Alex's character. I actually like that they put her in that role! This is also the first time I've seen Vanessa Hudgens act - and I understand now the attraction - why she is a Disney superstar! She's coy and sweet and her looks are not too distracting. Their courtship scenes are even cute - and I'm sure it was placed there to appeal to the sugary expectations of the youth. There aren't much obstacles thrown in the way of the couple and getting to "I love you" actually happens very quickly.
Lots of eye candy here as Alex gets shirtless several times! It's also a very tight film, at just under 90 minutes.
