Beastly

A modern day fairy tale is not hard to find these days, but a well-done modern fairy tale is. Though I know I am too old for the age group this film is geared towards, that does not excuse bad writing. Most of the major plot points seemed contrived and left a funny taste in my mouth. Though Alex Pettyfer was perfect as a self-absorbed, good-looking, jerk, I could not buy Vanessa Hudgens as a brainy, sweet girl. Honestly, the best part of the film was Mary-Kate Olsen because she just went balls out insane, and it worked. I'm glad I only paid $3 to see this film because otherwise it would have felt like a waste of money.
