Penelope

Film Description

A fantasy adventure starring Christina Ricci, James McAvoy and Reese Witherspoon.

The tale of a young woman overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds (a pig's snout) to win her Prince Charming has long been a staple of fairy tales but here, the classic tale is given a contemporary spin. What if, for instance, the rich and handsome Prince Charming actually turned out to be a total cad, and true love for the heroine rested in the hands of an initially duplicitous card shark? And what if, more importantly, the story was less about a young woman finding true love and more about her learning to love and value herself?
