“Beastly” is a 2011 romantic fantasy film based on the novel of the same name by Alex Flinn. The movie stars Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens and is a modern retelling of the classic fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast.”
The film follows Kyle Kingson (played by Alex Pettyfer), a handsome and popular high school student who is cursed by a witch after he humiliates her. The curse transforms Kyle into a disfigured and monstrous version of himself, and he is given one year to find someone to love him for who he is on the inside, rather than his appearance.
The movie explores themes of self-worth, inner beauty, and the nature of true love. As Kyle struggles to come to terms with his new appearance and find someone who can see beyond it, he begins to learn the importance of empathy, kindness, and compassion.
“Beastly” received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the film’s performances and themes but criticized its lack of originality and heavy reliance on clichés. Despite the mixed reviews, the movie performed moderately well at the box office and has since gained a following among fans of romantic fantasy films.
