On Wednesday 28th of September 2022 I watched a film that is little bit based on the story Beauty and The Beast but this time the story is based on a young girl who thinks she is a beast, and no man will love her for you she is inside her name is Penelope. This is what the film is about Many years ago, the Wilhern family's maid got pregnant from the son of her master, but he is not allowed to marry her because she would not be "one of their kind". The woman commits suicide, that is when her witch mother curses the daughters of the family that would have the face of a pig until one day, they find true love with one who will love her faithfully. Penelope Wilhern is the first legitimate girl after generations and born with the nose of a pig. Her mother Jessica hides her from the world in the Wilhern mansion, and Penelope is raised alone, with no friends. When she becomes a young woman, her parents then try to find a wealthy bachelor to marry her and break the curse. Meanwhile the tabloid reporter Lemon and the aristocrat Edward Humphrey Vanderman III that have issues against the Wilhern family hire the gambler Max to meet Penelope and take a picture of her. But their scheme does not work as planned. This review has been given a five- star rating which means I loved it because Max the gambler saw the beauty within and thought that Penelope was not ugly but beautiful on the outside. I have seen this film before that is why I gave it five stars because I just love the story of a young girl who looks beautiful but with a pig's snout for a nose. The meaning of the story is beauty is found within and looks don't mean everything in a person.
