The most unbelieable thing about this movie is not magic or cheesy romance but the journalist giving them privacy lmao

I love how the journalist sees Penelope and realizes she’s just a girl and not a monsters, so he doesn’t want to make a story of her being a monster because it’s unfair. It’s kinda sweet.

What I like a lot about this movie is that both Penelope and Max/ Johnny grow outside of one another. Penelope runs away and gains her independence, new friends and self- acceptance, and Max kicks his gambling addiction and is slowly starting to become a more responsible and honest adult. When they meet again, it's because they've both grown separately that they are able to be together. It wasn't either one that 'fixed' the other. I feel like Edward's 'redemption' was a little rushed and felt more of a show of Penelope's kindness rather than Edward genuinely realizing he made a mistake, but that's my only real gripe with the film.

I think they were too dramatic and she was actually pretty lmao.

I'm actually impressed by the amount of well-known celebrities starring in the movie. Not your typical Disney storyline: I like the fact she cured herself by finding herself and went out to find him. Not heard of this movie before. Wonder why.

you forgot to mention that the father lived much happier after Jessica was cursed with silence. and took every chance to enjoy it.

Dude, fuckin’ what? Christina Ricci, James McAvoy, Russel Brand, Reese Witherspoon, Peter Dinklage, Catherine O Hara, Nick Frost, and Richard E Grant?! Craziest cast for an indie flick, how was the budget for this thing only 15 mil with all this big name talent attached?

This is probably one of the most complex stories I have ever heard. The parents were stupid, she didn't look ugly, the curse was a fake really and the guy who liked her caused his own problems. I am so glad I don't have to watch it since I've seen this. I am really enjoying these recaps - saves me so much watching time.

This movie drove me crazy cuz she doesn’t look like a monster at all. She’s really actually pretty and just has a funny looking nose- I wouldn’t scream and run away at the sight of her

My twin and I watched this movie so many times, it's her favorite. She even had an old pig stuffed animal that she named Penelopy after this character.

I never watched this movie because I thought it would be a cheesy romantic movie. I was wrong. It's actually kind of nice. I also like the way you tell story because you don't left any point behind. It feels like watching movie.

This is just like that time they put glasses on Anne Hathaway and tried to convince us that she wasn't pretty 😂😂

Lemon is such a good reporter He has respect

Penelope was ahead of its time. During the era it was released, films tend to have the leading ladies be rescued by some useless guy. In here, Penelope saved herself. Today that's the trend, but back then it was not. So it's a pretty big deal.

I love the idea that the witch spent years chasing and tackling rich boys as a butler

This is one of my fav movie of all time. Penelope learned to accept herself, her mum learned her lesson too, johnny got his ducks in a row, lemon's obsession with the big story had the anticlimactic yet proper ending it deserved, even edward wasn't just a one-dimensional character and had struggles of his own. a very refreshing subversion of the cursed princess needing rescue by a prince fairytale.

"It's not the power of the curse. It's the power you give the curse"

The voice plays a major part on my addiction to this channel ! Do Not Change It 😐

This was so beautiful

It's not that they thought she was ugly, they ran because she was so different. She was alien to them and they ran because they cared more about their reputation.

nobody would've noticed during COVID-19 facemasks mandate

this came on autoplay and near the end i decided to see just how terrifying her face was, thinking it might be something like from the witcher, but she's still really pretty by traditional standards of beauty, smh

he always manages to entertain us with his recaps

Lemon has my respect He is a true homie

I love Peter Dinklage in roles where his stature is irrelevant or only mentioned in a cheeky nod to the audience. Can’t typecast an actor that good, what a waste of talent it would be to do so!

I really like how Lemon had integrity. He could make money with pictures but knows when not to

Jake opting for sneakers to chase the dudes always makes me laugh

What a cute and important story this is. It's about love, the power of trust, friendship and family, but most of all it is about selfacceptance. I think I've see this movie years ago, but I don't think I had understood it the way I think I do now.

Definitely laughed at the image of a nice-looking older gentlemen chasing/tackling those so-called suitors :D

Pigs are also such fun, honest and intelligent creatures with a great capacity of kindness and friendship. That people would despise a "human-pig person" to this extent kinda sucks. The human part is mostly what people should fear..

If her mom knew about furries, her daughter would have been married sooner

“Penelope says ‘hi’” The best newspaper titles

When I first watched this movie I was surprised by the butler, and in that moment they became my favorite person right beside Penelope.

This is actually a very beautiful story ! 😄

This story is so sweet!! I'm glad Penelope got a happy ending!

ever knew james mcvoy was in this movie bruh, when i was younger i just thought he was a random actor 💀

I have to say, there are so many recap channels, but I love yours most And one of the reasons is the background music. I don’t know, regardless the movie you are recapping, the music and your voice calms me down 😁

What the hell. How have I not heard about this film before? So many great actors here. Very touching

I’ve always loved this movie. It’s actually laugh out loud funny and super duper sweet!

This is such an excellent movie. Seen it twice, once by myself and once with my daughter, who also loved it.

This story is so sweet - I really liked this one ; )

Luv this movie. It's so wholesome yet so under rated. Also the scene where Penelope mailed the ring back to Edward is a deleted scene. The original theatrical cut doesn't mention him after the wedding is canceled.

Penelope's mother overreacting about everything doesn't help. Yes they're from a wealthy family but they shouldn't have hid her from the world. Yes it's weird to have a pig nose and pig ears, but there are worse deformities. How would these "men" react to someone with a major deformity or disability? This story is about acceptance, true love, and proof magic is real (or was real) in this world.

Lol. Those men are sooOooo dramatic. It's not the Grudge lady came out crawling 🤣

wow this brought back so many memories i watched this when it first came out and hadnt thought about it since really til now

i watched this since i was 7 or 8 and i still love it its so wholesome

The journalist guy is the real hero here, most of the time people like them are the bad guys in a story but not in this one.

I actually remember seeing this years ago. It was an enjoyable watch with some good messages

Wow you explained it more better ❤️❤️❤️

This movie always gives me good vibes! I feel like I've seen a different version? I don't remember Johny and her meeting before the ending

This was a real sweet story, and the recap hit it all but, I would still recommend watching the whole movie on this one.

Crazy story...how ever I really enjoyed it thank you ..plus two of my favourite actors ❤

Still possibly my favorite movie to this day ❤️

im just glad that her family loves and cares for her (instead of like abusing her)

I like how nobody talks about the witch helping penelope finding her true love

This has always been one of my favorites and I constantly watched it growing up🥺❤️

I LOVE this movie, it’s one of my favorites 🥰

I mean, she's not even ugly

Such amazing movie and casts too 👍👍👍👍

I remember having watched just the end, when she loves herself. I sometimes think about it. I really thought it was a cheesy movie (great message though) until today when I watched this summary. I'll have to watch it complete.

Omg I forgot I'd seen this movie! :O It was actually really good!

Penelope must be in a huge relieve if she had lived in Covid time.

LOVE these

Oh my goodness I completely forgot about this movie!!! I loved watching it as a child😭😭

I love the style and the color design of this movie.

I'm subscribed and I love ur videos

Tyrion is loyal and kind in this movie too.😁

Interesting to see Reese Witherspoon in a movie where she’s only playing a small role

The pov from the witch would be an interesting one. Initially rage in which the curse is cast for the mistreatment and loss of her daughter. Frustration as solely boys are born while the curse is unbroken. Satisfaction when she discovers that the first Welhern daughter is actually not. Considering how much of her power must be tied to the curse would not be surprised if she could detect her emotions (sadness, loneliness and rejection).The witch became Jake the butler in a bid to help protect the innocent child who ended up cursed. Considering how protective over Penelope Jake must be after it must be a source of relief chasing down and body tackling the shallow suitors must be

I almost forgot anout this movie. This is why i appreciate movie recap movies like these hehe

This movie was my CHILDHOOD Omg I used to watch it so much!!!

Wow. It's true that you must love yourself first before anything else.

This movie is so amazing!

I literally LOVE this movie.

Omg I remember this movie, I saw it years. If the recap didn't convince you that this movie is amazing, I'm here to do it, please give it a chance.

New movie!! Yay!!

This story have soul. 😊

I love this movie! It's like a cute contemporary fairytale.

AHAHHHHH this is my favorite childhood movie EVER ON EARTH I am SO HAPPY

Favorite movie of all time!!!!💚💜💚💜💚💜

I liked this movie because I could relate a lot to Penelope because I’ve always felt like everyone I know sees me as physically ugly even though I have other nice qualities

holy hi movie recasts!

If if the man determined to jump out the window why don't they put bars on the window...

Awesome movie

Quite the cast!

I love Penelope. It gets me every time.

i remember watching this as a child

Wonderful cast

I loved this movie as a kid!

I watched this movie in a residential facility, and this became a lot our favorite movies :)

I remember watching this movie when i was in elementary school.. brings backmemory

This is my second favorite movie from my childhood and I had no idea what a star studded cast it was

Love this movie!

This was actually really sweet.

Penelope always slaps as a movie. I tried telling my friends to watch it, but they never did bc they thought it was weird :(

This is unexpectedly bittersweet

Hee mother was so awful, I'm surprised she didn't find a doctor willing to risk the surgery anyway.

Great movie.

I loved this movie!

I love lemon such a good journalist ❤️❤️
