What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fundamentally misguided, poorly written, and badly acted, Beastly adds little to the legacy of its timeless source material.

Beauty And The Beast except with the lusty, gothic menace that makes that story interesting replaced by moany teenagers and crap acoustic guitar music. Or, in short, Dawson's Freak. Go to Full Review

In every aspect, from story to tone to characterization to visual aesthetic, it's laughably perfunctory, as though everyone involved were too embarrassed to give it more than a half-ironic token effort. Go to Full Review
Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Oct 6, 2022
Beastly does not aspire to compete with its prestigious ancestors, rather it aims to entertain the young women its catered to. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Good messages in an uneven movie that has some very effective moments early on but gets more ridiculous as the credits approach. Go to Full Review

Beastly is made precisely for those people who will enter the movie theater not 100% sure that the film is a retelling of the "Beauty & The Beast" storyline. Go to Full Review

Apr 14, 2019 I don't ever really bother with reviews, but this movie is a particularly terrible movie. Like i signed up for this account just to say what a terrible movie it is. See more
Rey W Apr 6, 2019 Mary Kate is the only good part of this movie! I want to see her play more roles like this

Hagrid S Sep 16, 2018 Another HDTGM dumpster fire of progressively dumbfounding choices, from the witlessly caustic dialogue to the feckless makeup and costuming aesthetic-for which reasons one should forgive the actors for looking and sounding so dumb-to the forgettably chichi needle drops. To make matters worse, though, is how disingenuous the movie ultimately is, its ostensible message being a familiar, naive lesson in humility, inner beauty, and and selflessness, while it nonetheless structurally replicates (even intensifies) its hero's toxic narcissism. His is essentially the only narrative arc to follow, the other characters fading away at precisely the moment when they should overshadow him, the female and non-sexually competitive characters existing only for his pleasure-in many ways, this is the opposite of what makes the Disney cartoon, which focuses on Belle and which stars the furniture as much as it does the titular Beast, so much more compelling.

Aug 2, 2018 A chick flick, but not necessarily bad as you're seeing it through the eyes of the guy. Can a cursed spoiled pretty boy change enough to win the heart of a girl? Especially if the pretty boy is abandoned by nearly everybody, feeding into his self-loathing? See more
Leia S Jul 30, 2018 I thought it was a cute movie!
