What are you writing in your little Pirate Pad?

Penelope.

Now THIS was a neat take on a fairytale. Setting the lead character as a little older and making a nice mix of modern/fantasy elements this was a very sweet and comical movie. Even my father said it was not that bad. . .a little predictable but it also had the right amount of surprise and intrigue. The typical components of the fairytale, beauty cursed, meets prince charming, obstacles, love prevails all were in place but some unique elements are thrown into the mix which I really just loved. Plus the patch-eyed little person just stole the show. I may be stereotyping or whatever but if you put a little person in your movie it just automatically makes it way better. Really liked this one even when James McAvoy was trying to sing.
