Forlorn heiress Penelope Wilhern is cursed, and the only way out is to fall in love with someone of suitable stock. But how can she find her soulmate when she's sequestered inside her family's estate with only her parents to keep her company? This untraditional fairy tale is about a girl who bucks convention to create her own happy ending.
the pink wasn't seen but the rest of the pig was there.
A modern fairy tale with heart, and what a cast! Christina Ricci gives this gentle resilience, James McAvoy in his pre‑Atonement charm era, Catherine O’Hara has that rare gift of making you laugh at a character’s flaws while still letting you feel the fear underneath. Peter Dinklage brings bite to this sweet story, and Reese Witherspoon always shines in whatever role she plays including producing this 2006 film.
That was touching and heart warming ..
Awesome movie for all ages.
