Beauty

A warm and touching movie. This is not really Beauty & The Beast revisited; the beast is not very ugly in this movie, but rather a freaky Jay Leno look-a-like. The Beauty is charming, but why does she have to have a boyfriend before she meets the beast, I wonder. But why wonder, when one can enjoy. The movie works and that's what counts.

I stumbled on this movie one day when there was nothing else that interested me, WOW, it's a beautiful take on the Beauty and Beast story. I've never been a big fan of Janine Turner, but she played this one without going over the top. I AM a big fan of Jamey Sheridan, but he blew me away with this one, his eyes and his voice were so mesmerizing, especially that gentle voice. He wasn't just playing a part, he became the "beast", and surely convinced anyone who has seen it that beauty is indeed found on the inside. I've tried everything I can think of to find it, it's just the type of feel good movie to pop in when you're home alone and need a lift. If anyone out there knows where to find it, PLEASE let me know!!

I don't like weepy stuff but sometimes in this very fast world there is need for something true. There was a great creation of a very big problem shown in a friendly story. I this respect I really liked this movie when I saw it, my highest recommendation!

This movie isn't perfect, I mean it's a Lifetime movie so it has its sappy moments. I am so glad I stumbled upon this movie when flipping mindlessly through the channels. This is modern adaptation of Beauty and the Beast based on the book, Beauty by Susan Wilson where Beauty is an artist and Beast is a lonely writer. The on screen chemistry between Janine Turner and Jamey Sheridan is what makes this movie wonderful and worth seeing. So many moments of this were heartwarming and overall this movie emphasizes admirable themes of a classic fairytale. If you like romantic movies, this is a good choice---only down-side---it's not available on DVD so you need to check ahead on Lifetime to see when it's on. It's worth the wait.

It's a Lifetime movie of Beauty and the Beast. Predictable with several attempts to tug at your emotions. Love, death, and holding hands. The story tries to actualize that a well-painted portrait can capture the true essence of a person. However, the story also leads us in another direction. Can an artist capture the outward appearance of a man, put it on a canvas, and change the way that person actually sees himself? This made for TV story attempts to show that yes, it can, and no it doesn't. Of course, we have a hand-holding happy ending. Not-so-famous actors doing a credible job with the delivery of this subject. The hour and a half will go by quickly.
