The latest teen romance takes an alternative look at Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” by focusing on the importance of inner beauty. After Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) rejects Goth classmate Kendra (Mary-Kate Olsen), she casts a spell on Kyle’s appearance, and he’s banished to Brooklyn where he meets a modern day Belle named Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens). Featuring Neil Patrick Harris and directed by Daniel Barnz, “Beastly” made an admirable effort to spin the classic tale, but the alternative plot didn’t live up to the original tale.
