I can't decide what's more hideous about this film: the acting or the script. Beastly is a modern retelling of "Beauty and the Beast." The script is AWFUL, assuming is one and the actors weren't just and handed a copy of "Beauty and the Beast." The one saving grace is Neil Patrick Harris, who clearly was making it up as he went along. I regret that he wasn't in it enough because he is the one good thing about this film and deserves an award for being so good in such a bad movie. Beastly is so bad that I get the feeling that director Daniel Barnz is unlikely to ever work again and may be the nail in the Vanessa Hudgens coffin. Ages 11+
