Beauty and the Beast: A Latter-Day Tale (2007)

I love this movie so much

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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.

I love this movie, for being awful. My friends and I were laughing at this movie the entire time. Terrible acting, horrible editing, bad story, and obvious Christian propaganda that actually breaks from the storyline. This movie is as bad as if not worst than the movie "the room". Only reason to watch this movie is to mock Christian television, I will show all my friends lol. "the beast" in this live action Christian adaptation is a mean business man who blames God for his wife's death, and hates the bible. His dislike of god, apparently the source of meanness, keeps him away from love, until he meets Belle, a girl who can ignore his bad acting and see his former god loving self. This movie is full of awkward silence, strange cuts, weird characters, and irrelevant plot holes. Film students should study this movie to learn how not to make a film. I saw it on the trinity broadcast network, a channel that must be pretty desperate if they are willing to screen a movie as bad as this. I highly recommend watching this film to learn lessons of bad filmmaking and Christian movie awkwardness, while enjoying a good laugh. Though I do not recommend watching this if you are looking to watch a good movie, watch the original Beauty and the Beast instead. Oh also the film quality drastically changes from shot to shot, giving this a home made high school movie quality!

Overacting to the extreme from both of the main characters. The plot is useless and I'd say that just about every other movie I've seen is better than this thing. Some of the camera shots are very awkward. The choice for Belle wasn't very good, considering that she's supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the story. The beast is always yelling, but in such a way that its sounds forced every time. The change in the Beast is literally overnight, without any kind of transition. And this is only the start of the complaints I have about this movie.I've seen a lot of bad movies, I wouldn't waste your time unless you just want to see for yourself how bad movies can be.

Didn't expect much -- avoided seeing it in its very brief theatrical run -- then heard some good things about it when my brother watched it on DVD. Turns out that BEAUTY & THE BEAST: A LATTER-DAY TALE is a delightful film that is both romantic, touching and thought-provoking. The leads have a chemistry that works and the telling of the familiar story has enough twists and originality to make it compelling. Technically there are a few weaknesses (some shots are on the soft side), but the direction, script and music all blend well together to provide a very enjoyable film. I'm glad that I didn't overlook this one -- for it's a "Gem"!
