What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fundamentally misguided, poorly written, and badly acted, Beastly adds little to the legacy of its timeless source material.

Keith Uhlich Time Out You go, Doog! Rated: 1/5 Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Robbie Collin News of the World Beauty And The Beast except with the lusty, gothic menace that makes that story interesting replaced by moany teenagers and crap acoustic guitar music. Or, in short, Dawson's Freak. Rated: 1/5 Apr 24, 2011 Full Review Time Out 'Beastly' is a special brand of hogwash: a fairy tale that preaches inner beauty while refusing to obscure the looks of its doomed hero. Rated: 1/5 Apr 20, 2011 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Beastly does not aspire to compete with its prestigious ancestors, rather it aims to entertain the young women its catered to. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Good messages in an uneven movie that has some very effective moments early on but gets more ridiculous as the credits approach. Rated: 2/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Beastly is made precisely for those people who will enter the movie theater not 100% sure that the film is a retelling of the "Beauty & The Beast" storyline. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This movie is so unbelievably bad...holy cow. I agree with what another person's already said, I never leave reviews on here but I signed up for this JUST so I could post this review about how BAD this movie is. Best part of the whole thing is Neil Patrick Harris, and Mary-Kate I guess. The dialogue is so cheesy and unrealistic, the plot doesn't make sense....somebody please tell me why the writers think it would be plausible for the father to leave his daughter with some random guy they just met? The lead character's look is a bit much as well...this was a waste of 1 hour and 30 mins. I'd much rather watch Disney Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 26 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Crude Comments, Brief Violence, Language and Some Thematic Material!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $27,900,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Lauren W Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens did well in this movie. I liked Pettyfer’s gothic makeup tattoos and piercings. I thought it was the coolest I have seen. Hudgens was attractive as Lindy Taylor. I do see that the acting was not great, it could be better, but both these two did well. Mary-Kate Olsen’s final role as Kendra was also good. I liked the tattoo makeup on her face, but her catwalk in that high school looks like it was the director’s doing. The director has to make better decisions when it comes to better guidance, choosing the right actors, and how they perform properly. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Audience Member Mary-Kate Olson is the best part of this movie ngl Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review nena s "Long time green thumb" good god. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: A Fera Elenco: @marykateolsen_ @alexpettyfer @vanessahudgens @nph @dakotajohnson Modelo: #misticismo #feitiçaria #romance Duração: 1h 26m Ano: 2011 Minha opinião: Um roteiro já conhecido de filmes tens. Temos aqui Vanessa e Alex como protagonistas e uma "bruxa Kendra" como coadvante. A estória do galã que tem a atração do colégio. Kyle (Alex) e todo, todo, esnobe, convencidos, prepotente, arrogante,..... E com isso ele pisa no calo de Kendra que lhe joga um feitiço. Assim ele começa a ser deformado e como se fosse raízes negras começa se alastrar em todo seu corpo. Cai em uma depressão, chega ir até a Kendra, mas ela diz que o feitiço lançado só se desfaz se alguém se apaixonar por ele e de como ele esta de verdade. Mas ele diz, "quem se apaixonaria com alguém com a imagem que tem". Mas a força do Amor supera toda barreira da vida. E assim chega ao clímax final parecido com a Bela e a Fera. E o feitiço é desfeito. Uma atuação razoável dos atores. Roteiro e enredo um roteiro já conhecido, poderia nos surpreender mais. Faltou aquele Tchan. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 5,5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
