Review:
On the shelf for two years and deserving of a mercy killing, this
modern fairy tale stars Christina Ricci (get this girl a good
movie, pronto) as Penelope, an heiress born with the snout of a
pig. The love of another snob can cure her, but her suitors run
away in horror, which is stupid, since she’s as cute as Miss Piggy.
A pre-Atonement James McAvoy steps up to the plate to pay
off his debts and, of course, finds true love. Director Mark
Palansky wishes he was Tim Burton. So will you, because even with
producer Reese Witherspoon showing up in a cameo, Penelope
is dead on arrival.
