I liked this movie, maybe more than I should have, and would be happy to see anything this director wants to do next.
The idea of transformation, that people can change and learn from their mistakes, growing to be better, makes Beastly not just sweetly romantic but also quietly hopeful.

This film is a typical romantic, fairy tale film for teenage girls, which meets their expectations perfectly. It can be agreed or disagreed that the choice of actors used In the film were slightly miss-judged, nevertheless, it doesn't effect the movie a great deal and can still be enjoyed. I think the film also contains a valuable moral, in which young girls can learn from and understand. Good things come to those who deserve it. The image of the beast In which Kyle turns into, is more modern than old fashioned like 'Beauty and The Beast' which allows the audience to relate to the situation more. As a teenage girl myself, I picked up on the stereotypical love story which will have a typical ending. However, the fact of the film not having a big twist/traumatic moment toward the end of the film as Kyle and Lindy fall in love, made the film so much better than any other typical love story as sometimes, the audience finds it stressful. People may refer to It as having a weak story line, but I believe It satisfies the target audience of young girls. As for the technical side of the film, Marcelo Zavros created the music for the film, which gave It that butterflies In the stomach kind of feeling. Zavros also created the music for the film 'Remember Me' which to those who have ever watched it, the music added the emotion and feeling to the film. For me, having such a great pianist and composer working on the film, gave me the Impression from the start that the movie was going to be professional, well-written and gives the message of the film perfectly. In my opinion, all these expectations were met.

I think that Beastly is a really great movie, because is like a remake of the beauty and the beast, and have much pretty elements. I considere that Beastly is a classic.

Hudgens' dimples threaten at times to overtake the narrative, but in the end, they're no match for Olsen's creepy-ass smirk, which, frankly, appears ready-made for Tim Burton's next outing.
There's less to Beastly than meets the eye - and what meets the eye is no great shakes, either.
Beastly offers a thoroughly dopey reread of the "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale.
Dull and perfunctory, the film's saving grace is MVP Neil Patrick Harris as Kyle's blind tutor, who has a witty aside for every woodenly expressed sentiment. You go, Doog!
More than lives up to its name with ultra-campy performances, high-glucose direction, laughable dialogue, cheesy effects and a back-lot simulation of a Manhattan street that wouldn't pass muster on an after-school special.
Would like to express the delight to founders of this film.
The film very kind, is removed remarkably, actors have played very well.
Causes really sensation of such good (not too sweet) fairy tale.
Humour in a film at high level. Not trite, not stupid, "clever humour".
Protagonists are persons not standard, pleasantly pleases their character over which founders of a film have worked.
I am sorry for my English.
Thanks you for a good film, are more than the such!

Beastly is an incredibly funny movie. Some scenes made me laugh so hard that I cried. Unfortunately for the film though, itâ
