One of t...he best movies that I have ever seen! The casting was perfect and it is very unique that such a big name, Reese Witherspoon, would take such a minor/backseat role and it be some of her greatest work. Ricci, O'Hara and MacAvoy are perfection! You really feel for Penelope (Ricci), you get so curious about Max (MacAvoy) and at times, you want to slap the doting mother (O'Hara). It really is a magical, sweet and uplifting tale woven in the prettiest candy colors that I can remember seeing in a movie. On par with the fairytale likeness of the superb Stardust starring Claire Danes as a fallen star being hunted by witches, princes and a young peasant boy in love. In my opinion, Penelope is a movie for all ages. Grandparents, parents and kids will all enjoy this movie repeatedly! Trust me on this, as I've seen the moive countless times and I NEVER tire of it. Sure to become one of those classics that everyone will know and love. :)
The movie is very interesting. I love the characters in the movi...e. It is fun to watch the movie Penelope more than once.

If you enjoy fairy tales and fables, you'll probably like this ...movie. Simple story and characters, suitable for children (no sex or violence), but still appealing.

This was a very cute movie. My girls loved it. I didn&apos...;t see anything derogatory or unappropriate for the girls. It's a fairytale and you have to take it that way. Reese Witherspoon is great, a really different role than usual.
