Most of us have parts of our appearance that we're not totally happy with - but we probably don't have the issues of Penelope. She's a smart and sensitive young woman who, as the victim of a family curse, has grown up having the snout of a pig instead of an ordinary nose. Having spent much of her young life hidden away, she's then pursued by a mean-spirited photographer who want to make a fortune from taking a picture of her and selling it to the highest bidder. But when his plan results in a case of mistaken identity and - at first - a broken heart for Penelope, it sets her on the road to solving her problems and facing the world. Star Christina Ricci is brilliant in this original and touching movie, which also features plenty of British talent in its cast.I am so glad we don't have to write this by hand because my paper would be soaked with tears!At the begining I didnt think it was imaginitive.......not really-wow that was the biggest lie i've ever told in my life! Seriously my english teacher would love me if i had such an imagination. I take my hat of to the director(if i was wearing one!)I think the scences should of been longer because each one went on for 6 minutes maximum-i think a little more time would of made the scenecs that little bit more magical.Ok, the actors were amazing especialy the children I want to act for a living and im sure i would get the part if i had such talent.Hey what happened to happy endings. Thanks to the person who invented filmclub because it stops me getting square eyes staring at the computer.
