First off I am not the type of guy who goes out of my way to watch romantic comedies but since we have Netflix doesn't take long before you watched everything on your mental list and you are left with movies you have never heard of, in comes Penelope.
Not going to lie this movie was chosen for two different reasons. I saw the info and saw Christina Ricci was in it, my wife on the other hand read it was a romantic comedy and so we continue on.
Christina plays Penelope a young woman born into a wealthy family that was cursed some time ago by a "gypsy" of sorts. The curse was to afflict the females of the family and long story short Penelope has the facial features of a pig, pig nose that is. The movie plays along as Penelopes mother searches endlessly for a way to break the curse by having her marry a wealthy man one of her own. You of course have your bad guys if you want to call them that and your person who is the love interest.... Long story not a bad movie, no Black Snake Moan but not bad.
