"Beastly" (2011)

You want to know what storylines I do like? You want to know what actually gets 5 stars from me meaning I will watch it multiple times? This movie qualifies. I don't know that I would give it a story-swoon ranking, but this movie heads in the right direction. Undercurrent Identity themes (a must). The movie is a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast--high school setting, sorta. A witch has a minor character, major story figure--but that magic is the only exception to the "real life" setting. Kinks--leading guy is rich so could avoid a lot of stuff; however, Beauty and the Beast fairy tale is set mostly in a castle--so in that sense, it works.
