Belle & the Beast: A Christian Romance

As a fan of bad movies I really thought this would be another one of them, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. It has a lot of flaws, but overall I actually enjoyed it. Bonus was it didn't shove the bible down my throat as I expected.

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.

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

This is indeed a very cute modern adaptation of a classic tale. The dialogue is a bit weak to open but plays stronger as the characters develop and by the end is enchanting. Don't watch if you're an adrenal junkie and can be satisfied if the characters end up where they started. I enjoy watching movies with eye candy and this one is loaded with beautiful mountain scenes and overly clean houses. This is a worthwhile feel good story that left me smiling.

As with most "Christian" made films, this one is not a slick production and their are no big names etc. BUT...it is reasonably acted, the script is fine as are the sets and location . We enjoyed the film. For those who think it is the worst film they have ever seen...well, they should see more movies then as this one does not deserve that criticism. All in all, it was nice to not have the swearing and the usual vulgarities of what passes today for entertainment. Watch this for yourself.
