Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
In every aspect, from story to tone to characterization to visual aesthetic, it's laughably perfunctory, as though everyone involved were too embarrassed to give it more than a half-ironic token effort.

Beneath it all, however, is a movie with a good heart.

For a fable about a magical curse, "Beastly" is strangely earthbound. And once it starts, it just seems to go on sappily ever after.

There are flashes of genuine wit and charm that, while they cannot support the rest, hint at what was intended and not realized.
