After Thoughts:
This is a modern take on the old beauty and the beast.the movie is a great story of just how things could happen to the beautiful people that think there better then everyone else.Faith could turn you into something ugly and the only way to fix it would b to make someone love you for the way you look now.The movie also stars Mary-Kate olson and she does a pretty good job of acting as a witchi sure would not want a spell like that put on me.There was this sort of hyper-modern version of this story and that it was told from his perspective, which we'd never seen before and thematically, because it's all about beauty and how you look and inner beauty that this was such a great story set in the teenage world and for teenagers, because it has such a great message to it.There is also a diff ending to the movie.
I give this film a (B+)
