This is one of my favorite movies. A modern twist on a fairy tale with the lifelong lesson of: Love Thyself. It also challenges beauty concepts, freedom, and family life. The father-mother-daughter dynamic is spot on throughout the movie.…

Cute film with a great message; liking others (and yourself) for what's on the inside and not on the outside. Loved Christina Ricci as Penelope and James McAvoy (whom I hadn't heard of until seeing this, but would like to see more of him!)…

Not a bad movie, good for kids who would be interested in a fairy-type drama. I found it was pretty slow and boring at times. Very predictable.

Penelope is a great movie for the whole family to enjoy.

one of the best movies ever. It's so inspirational. Not to mention the acting is on par.

I really enjoyed the moral of this movie. I will admit when I first saw it on the shelf I wasn't too sure I wanted to watch it. Especially being such a movie fanatic. However seeing how she learned to love and accept herself was a very…

A modern-day fairy tale teaching that what you look like is not as important as who you are inside.

It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”

This movie was entertaining and interesting but not one of my favorite for this year. “Not too bad---good performance”. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”

I thought this was just great, it was much different than the normal fairytale type movie. The acting is good, the script is great, and this movie will keep you involved and at times laughing hysterically. I would recommend this movie to…

Penelope is a romantic comedy for all ages. It is rare that a romantic comedy isn't rated PG-13 or above, but this one pulled it off in a delightful way! Great for all the girls of the house!

Liked this movie, what a fun fairy tale.It felt a little Tim Burtonish.

It was ok, but I didn't find it as good as the trailers made it out to be. But good for any age.

I love this movie. It is so cute and sweet. I got my cousins to watch it (they didn't really want to at first but then I explained it to them) and it was so good that they wanted to watch it again right after we finished.

Adorable. A great movie, breaking free of the romantic comedy mould.

This movie is delightful! Penelope is a girl with a family curse, a curse in which she was born with the nose of a pig. To break the curse, she must marry one of her own, a rich blue blood, or so she thinks. She meets many a suitors but…

This predictable morality/fantasy tale about self-acceptance wins by a nose--but only because of Christina Ricci's artfully boho wardrobe.

Fair - Penelope (2006) 104 min. The film is a fairy tale with Christina Ricci playing the "princess" who's been vexed into carrying a snout for a nose. Only the one that loves her for her will reverse the spell. The concept in this modern…
