Okay, so I saw the movie today, and I want to say that over all I really liked it. However, no movie is perfect, so I want to seperate this review into two parts- things I liked, and things I didn't.
Things I liked: This part could be quite long, so let me just mention my yêu thích parts. First, any romance hinges on the chemistry of the lead characters, and Vanessa and Alex don't disappoint. They really seem to enjoy being with eachother, and they both give good performances as individuals. Vanessa has great screen presence, and Alex gives a tim, trái tim felt performance. When his dad abandons him, the hurt he shows makes him seem, to me, so vulnerable and almost childlike that bạn almost have to forgive who he was before, atleast for the moment. That is just one of the moments that bạn may want to jump into the screen and give him a hug. MaryKate also gives a standout performance, and I am sure some people will be disappointed that she does not have thêm screen time.
What I didn't like: For me, the weakest part was the ending. This may be because the ending of the book was one of my yêu thích parts, and the ending of the movie is almost completely different. I felt like the ending was abrupt, and I missed the flash phía trước, chuyển tiếp from the book, in which we see that Kyle, Lindy, and Will are all still living together, and that Will is their teacher. I was also disappointed that in the movie Sola and Kendra are not the same person, like Magda and Kendra were in the book.Finally, I tình yêu Neil Patrick Harris, and I would have liked to see him have a little thêm to do in this movie than be the comedic relief.
So, in a nutshell, that is how I felt about the movie. I have to say that, if bạn liked the book, I think bạn should see this movie, but be prepared for many changes.

I am a huge Beastly fan!!! I mean huge. I'm going on my seventeenth read and I have yet to cry at the good parts and not read it in one sitting (wow that was s*&ty grammar). ANyway I wrote this atricle to cool down the presses and the haters.
Yes, Vanessa Hudgens is not a red head and wears no braces in the movie. But shes still an actress and we still need to giver her a chance.
Also, some people are upset because he is not a furry best in the movie. Well thats nothing but a positive change!!! In the book we can read what hes thinking. But in the movie we must rely on physical expressions. And if the actor doesn't have a face = impossible
Anyway, my take on it is, as long as the story is portrayed then why does it matter what the characters look like. For goodness sake do people remember what the book was about??? Not judging on looks. So I think people seriously need to cool down
