Born with the snout of a pig, young Penelope Wilhern (Christina Ricci) spends life a virtual prisoner in her home. Believing that the only way to break the curse is to marry one of her own kind, she meets a number of suitors, but all reject her. Two devious men, one with a grudge against the family, hire a man (James McAvoy) to pose as a suitor, but complications arise when he begins to fall in love with Penelope, and she makes a bid for freedom.

Considering the list of strong actors in this movie, I expected a lot more. However, I probably should be blaming the script. The movie is very well thought out to the last detail, some scenes look very beautiful. There's also that fantasy element like you're looking into another world..
The biggest gripe I have about the movie is the character development. The feelings that were suppose to have developed with the characters weren't really there. I didn't feel like they showed enough because they kept changing scenes .. was there too much to focus on?
This is definitely a rent worthy movie. Not sure if you'd want to spend money on a movie ticket though.
