STORY:
A modern-day take on the "Beauty and the Beast" tale where a New York teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love.
Kyle (Alex Pettyfer) thinks he is God's gift at his high school. He plays a prank on a fellow high school student, Kendra (Mary-Kate Olsen) who, unbeknown to him is a witch. Kendra teaches him a lesson by putting a curse on him making him as beastly on the outside as he is on the inside. He has one year to find someone to fall in love with him or stay like that forever.
Now the author said she knew a lot about the story 'Beauty and the Beast' she even put a note in the back of how many versions she had read. But to it felt like she had just watched the Disney version and started writing. I'm not trying to be negative, but there were too many simalarities. It was also a little cheesy. I know you should never judge a book by its movie, but I have to say, I kind of liked the movie better.
