La bella

I have never been a huge fan of Janine Turner. Most of her movies are palatable though. Jamie Sheridan makes this film. If you can watch a romance movie and believe the male actors in it then you have a great movie. In romance films we always believe the female because they are the emotional ones. Hal Holbrooke is his usual wonderful self and this movie is one that if you like romances you could watch more than once. The scenery is lovely and being a huge fan of age old Beauty and the Beast story. This is a pretty good one. Janine Turner turns in her usual sweet performance and I loved the name of his dog. Good job to all involved.

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.

Even though I saw it by pieces (I was in the hospital), I have always wanted to see it again! I loved what I saw, the actors did such a good job. I regret not being able to see the whole movie. I wish it were on video I would definetly buy it.

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.

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.
