A modern day "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale. Witty, warm, well-cast, often wickedly funny, sharper & sweeter than expected. However, do not expect anything else as "Beastly" more than lives up to its name with certain campy performances, high-glucose direction (Daniel Barnz), laughable dialogue, cheesy effects and a back-lot simulation of a Manhattan street that wouldn't pass muster on an after-school special. The film, with its contemporary twist on gothic themes, seems designed to appeal to the "Twilight" crowd, except that they have proven a most fickle group to reach. Pettyfer's modern beast, whose internal ugliness becomes externalized when he runs afoul of a spell-casting girl dabbling in witchcraft, turns into the beast & loses his golden locks, suffers disfigurement via scars, pustules & ever-morphing tattoos. The idea of transformation, that people can change and learn from their mistakes, growing to be better, makes "Beastly" sweetly romantic but quietly hopeful.
