BEASTLY (Theatrical Release USA 2011)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Beastly has some terrific actors and actresses such as Vanessa Hudgens, Mary Kate Olsen, and Alex Pettyfer. It is well done. The script is great even though the story is neither new or fresh. Director Daniel Barnz shows great talent within this genre.
