Beastly

A few days ago we went to see the movie "Beastly". It's a modern day version of "Beauty and the Beast".

Alex Pettyfer is the male star, an egotistical high school guy, who loves his looks and money and thinks those qualities are the most important things, and ugly people are worthless. Vanessa Hudgens is the girl who plays the beauty. Neil Patrick Smith plays a blind tutor to Alex's character, the Beast.

I suppose the moviemakers are targeting a young audience so there's some high school "junk" in the movie - just so you know. But the overall message is good - it's not what you see on the outside but what's on the inside that really matters. And that message is conveyed clearly.
