A modern-day fairytale, the film is tarted up like a hyperactive five-year-old's lurid fantasy of interior decor.

Penelope suggests that peace comes through character, not cosmetic surgery. In this, it's smarter than Twilight...

While uneven, this Ugly Duckling redux is hipper and funnier than a Disney movie, and the positive message to young girls can't be discounted.

Visually stylish, what might have been a cute fantasy becomes tedious due to its banal script and a relentless overload of pig-jokes.
February 29, 2008
The semi-satirical treatment of celebrity culture, as Penelope is treated first as a tabloid sensation then a media darling, is lame and dated.

This quirky, snarky contemporary fairy tale could have been a family blockbuster.

Sweet as gingerbread, Penelope deserves to find an audience; those with a taste for happily-ever-afters should look for it, before it too-quickly disappears.

Watchable but patchy fantasy romance that doesn't quite work, despite strong performances from Ricci and McAvoy.

A precocious fairy tale made for and starring people too old for whimsy

Director Palansky and screenwriter Leslie Caveny seem to have many of the right ingredients for creating something beguiling, but the film is, finally, surprisingly pedestrian. What a shame, with all these good performers.
