My expectations about this airplane film were modest. A family is cursed and the fist female bay will be born with a pig’s nose. Ok. A little children’s movie. Yet to my surprise Penelope is one of the most clever films I have seen in a while. It is Cinderella, Romeo and Julia, Miss Piggy and teenage beauty obsession all mixed together in a magical realistic fairy tale reminiscent of Charles Dickens. Few movies can please both the young and adult mind. This one can.
