Belle & the Beast: A Christian Romance

Average acting, but great message delivery. Thoroughly enjoyed and will watch again. Lots of lessons to follow and learn. Highly recommend.

I streamed this movie from Amazon Prime, having absolutely no idea as to what it was about. However, I was pleasantly surprised, and my wife and I enjoyed it very much.

As the title suggests, it's a modern-day retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast story.

To be sure, this film is family-friendly (meaning you can watch it with your entire family without fear of "awkward" moments). However, that doesn't mean that it's not an excellent story and one which you will enjoy very much.

I would highly recommend it.

I really liked this movie. Yes it's labeled as a Christian Romance (or LDS, depending which version you saw), but this is a movie that everyone could enjoy. It makes you rethink Beauty and the Beast in a new light: this version emphasizes forgiveness, second chances, family ties, and loyalty.

I LOVE everything about this movie, except the acting. The house is gorgeous, the views are gorgeous, and the message is clear (and relevant). The cheese is strong with this one. It is everything you would expect from a low budget, Christian film. I would definitely recommend seeing this film.

Contrary to what the title may suggest, this movie is original and pleasantly unpredictable. The production is consistently coherent all the way through. The acting is genuine, and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. There are enduring moments, and stressful moments, with everything resolving via perfect writing and directing.

The acting is skillful and genuine. Editing is smooth. Above all, the Christian message is uplifting and inspiring, demonstrating in a realistic manner that faith can be renewed, and life's challenges can be overcome.

One reviewer stated that this cannot be a Christian movie because it was filmed in Utah. Not only is this untrue, this is a violation of what this forum is about. Just watch the film and see if you don't find a pleasant evening passing before your eyes and through your heart.
