I entered the cinema expecting a typical kiddie movie, I left with a that but with a great big smile on my face also. Penelope doesn't really deliver too much in the comedy department but what it does bring is a heart warming and the strong message of learning to accept yourself the way you are. Chrsitna Ricci did a good job as the girl with a snout, which the whole movie made a big deal about. James McAvoy, donning an American accent was also impressive as the love interest. Reese Witherspoon shone in this movie as both producer and as the friend of our snout bearing heroine. Overall a cast of good acting and a sweet story. Kids will laugh and adults can watch this without falling asleep. Its a perfect Sunday afternoon treat.
