Penelope is a 2007 fantasy film about a pig-girl. That's the long and short of it. Nothing original, nothing special.

2007 saw the release of Stardust, a fucking amazing fantasy film with a stunning cast that was really really REALLY good. Penelope came a bit later, riding off James McAvoy's Atonement wave.

It stars Christina Ricci as Penelope, who is a pig due to an ancient curse put on her family. James McAvoy stars as her 'love interest', and he's pretty good in this film. It's got 'that dwarf' Peter Dinklage in, the very same one that's the dwarf in everything. He's the new Warwick Davis. He's funny in it as well.

The film kinda relies on one thing, and that's Penelope's hideous pig face. You didn't see it in the trailer, so that made you want to see how hideous it is. Sorry to ruin it, but it's not. It's not that bad. As soon as you see it you think 'Plastic Surgery would help' so they stick in a bit about how it can't be operated on. It is so 'hideous' that people run away and are scared for life by it, but IT'S NOT THAT BAD. It makes the film fall flat on it's face.

The film has some funny moments, Russell Brand is good in it. It also has Reece Witherspoon in it, and she's just too cute for words. It's got some pretty funny moments in it as well, but it tends to repeat them quite a lot.

Watch it with a small niece or nephew, or any young child, or just watch Stardust cos it's a banger.
