Beastly????

It bothers me that nobody has actually seen the movie & I've heard NOTHING about it on the street!!! However, I think I will just go ahead & rent it from Redbox when it finally comes out!!! The Trailer for Little Red Riding Hood doesn't really entice me, but I will probably watch it too just to see what they've done with that fairy tale!!!

I have seen both ... I actually own Red Riding Hood - someone saw it and thought that I would like it, so they bought it for me even before I had watched it. Turns out they were right, I did like the movie. Then again, it had Gary Oldman in it, so there was a pretty good chance that I was going to like it regardless of the storyline, although I thought the storyline was good as well.

Actually, you're the only person I've heard say they've watched RRH. Since you enjoyed it so much, I went to Redbox to see if they still have it in their kiosk. I've only ever found one movie not worth a dollar to watch. Sadly, they don't have it; but while there, I perused the reviews. It appears to be one of those movies that you either love or hate. There were very few middle of the road reviews. The very first review stated very frankly that it was the worst movie they had ever watched & it wasn't even worth the $1 that Redbox charges. (1-star) The very next review screamed it was the absolute best movie ever seen!!! (5-stars) And so it continued to be a love or hate relationship. A few people said it was some of the worst acting they had ever seen & even Gary Oldman couldn't save it. (1-star) Once I realized the pattern forming I stopped reading the reviews & did notice that it had a 3.5 average which leads me to believe that more people disliked it than loved it. I have Hulu, Netflix & Amazon Instant WiFied into my TV & didn't find it available there either. Amazon will sell t to me for $9, but I'm not sure I'm willing to buy it sight unseen. I am very picky about the movies I purchase as they have to be one that I will enjoy watching over & over & over again!!! RRH hasn't been on my Video on Demand either which leads me to wonder why??? I'm glad you enjoyed it & given the opportunity to watch it I will but I'm not prepared to buy it until I've seen it!!!

Yes, I had the opportunity to watch it not long after I posted this discussion. It was by far not the best movie I've ever watched, but I did enjoy it. i'm hoping to find the time to watch it again in the not so far future!!!

I believe it's a modern day version of Beauty & the Beast. Young man ticks off a witch & she puts a curse on him. He has a year to find a woman to fall in love with him or the curse will be for life. I'm a sucker for a love story, so I was more wondering if the acting was worth watching???

Yes, I had the opportunity to watch it not long after I posted this discussion. It was by far not the best movie I've ever watched, but I did enjoy it. I'm hoping to find the time to watch it again in the not so far future. I agree that it wasn't as intriguing as the trailer, but I did enjoy it!!! I have no children so I can watch anything I please when I please. I was paying attention to the storyline & not the looks of the characters; however, I did find him attractive as the Beast...I believe that beauty comes from within the soul of a person & the Beast had the soul of a gorgeous man!!!

It looks very promising!!! That's why I wanted to know if the acting is any good???

I love the concept too!!! It concerns me that nobody here has seemed to have seen the movie!!! No matter how great the concept, if it wasn't directed/acted properly, then it could still stink!!!!

Then I guess I won't be inviting you over to watch it when I rent it!!!

I don't think the movie has anything to do with Cinderella. I believe it is based on Beauty & the Beast!!! So, I think I'm just going to rent it & see if it's any good!!! If I get it from Redbox, I will only be out of a dollar if I don't like it!!!!
