Penelope



“I’m happy with me!”

I’d heard about this film from a dear friend, and glad to finally have the opportunity to enjoy. Written by Leslie Caveny (who wrote the American television series ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’) and directed by Mark Palansky. A heart-warming Comedy-Fantasy-Romance released in 2006 which cost an approximate $15 million USD and starring daring Christina Ricci (in one of her ‘tamer’ films), Blue-eyed Scottish James McAvoy, American blonde sweet-heart Reese Witherspoon, and a very lovely deranged Catherine O’Hara.

This was a fairy-tale with several lessons to be learnt; from the way we view the world and the way the world views us. To what parenting really means, and also to be true to and of accepting yourself. The dialogue and quotes within this film were really marvelous as our audience got a healthy scoop of reality despite it’s ‘Once Upon A Time’ beginning. It’s not just about finding ‘true love’s first kiss’ but an adventure in finding love for one’s self. Wonderful cinematography with a cheerful story and special message.

This is one the entire family can enjoy! :)
