Load of rubbish!!
Don't listen to the negative reviews
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
This is indeed a very cute modern adaptation of a classic tale. The dialogue is a bit weak to open but plays stronger as the characters develop and by the end is enchanting. Don't watch if you're an adrenal junkie and can be satisfied if the characters end up where they started. I enjoy watching movies with eye candy and this one is loaded with beautiful mountain scenes and overly clean houses. This is a worthwhile feel good story that left me smiling.
I streamed this movie from Amazon Prime, having absolutely no idea as to what it was about. However, I was pleasantly surprised, and my wife and I enjoyed it very much.As the title suggests, it's a modern-day retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast story.To be sure, this film is family-friendly (meaning you can watch it with your entire family without fear of "awkward" moments). However, that doesn't mean that it's not an excellent story and one which you will enjoy very much.I would highly recommend it.
I love this movie, for being awful. My friends and I were laughing at this movie the entire time. Terrible acting, horrible editing, bad story, and obvious Christian propaganda that actually breaks from the storyline. This movie is as bad as if not worst than the movie "the room". Only reason to watch this movie is to mock Christian television, I will show all my friends lol. "the beast" in this live action Christian adaptation is a mean business man who blames God for his wife's death, and hates the bible. His dislike of god, apparently the source of meanness, keeps him away from love, until he meets Belle, a girl who can ignore his bad acting and see his former god loving self. This movie is full of awkward silence, strange cuts, weird characters, and irrelevant plot holes. Film students should study this movie to learn how not to make a film. I saw it on the trinity broadcast network, a channel that must be pretty desperate if they are willing to screen a movie as bad as this. I highly recommend watching this film to learn lessons of bad filmmaking and Christian movie awkwardness, while enjoying a good laugh. Though I do not recommend watching this if you are looking to watch a good movie, watch the original Beauty and the Beast instead. Oh also the film quality drastically changes from shot to shot, giving this a home made high school movie quality!
This was a good movie. I didn't know the premise when I first started watching it but it soon became apparent. It very much followed the premise of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, at least at first. Of course, this one has a Christian spin on it. The story follows the budding romance between Belle and her boss, Eric Landry. Unlike the original, Eric's ugliness isn't external but internal. He is often brash and short tempered with Belle, but soon he starts to soften and their "romance" begins to blossom, especially when I sees Belle more than just a tool to be used but a person, an equal.I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and wished it was available on DVD.
