Beautiful Beast (2013) User Reviews

Not much like B & B, but, adorable

[dblackman70 · 7/10 · 27 January 2015]

I loved this film. It was adorable. Brad Johnson was gorgeous as the leading man and the two leads had good chemistry. It was romantic

While it was barely (almost nothing like) Beauty and the Beast, it was lovely

I'm a sucker for movies like these and big budget Hollywood just don't make them anymore. They're all lewd jokes and sex and violence so it's wonderful to see a romantic and touching movie about falling in love.

I could always watch movies like these so it's a joy to find a surprise like this that I can own and watch again and again and still enjoy it. I wish they could just make more movies with likable leads and a nice story everyone can enjoy, but, they just don't seem to anymore

Good movie

[kellyjackson062 · 6/10 · 9 April 2015]

I love a good love story and like the character arcs of the two main characters. I think that she would have been better on skis since the rich ski all the time. I grew up with rich people so that is unrealistic. As behavior goes, she is not the worst person in the movie. Everyone in the movie is unkind at times and some of the dialogue proves that other people who seem to be good people can also be unkind and say unkind things. Another thing, she said that she makes appearances at charity events. The last charity event she went to was not what a rich person calls a charity event but she worked at a soup kitchen. That is not what the rich mean by a charity event. The foundation. What is that? Do they just work at soup kitchens? or do they head up donations for the poor? But it was great seeing the two main characters change and fall for each other. Well, it has many good points.

Truly terrible

[laughing_cat · 5/10 · 27 February 2018]

I've been fairly impressed with the Hallmark movies, but this one was a real bomb. Predicable and contrived, the only thing left was to invest in the main characters. Isabelle, the "beautiful beast" was neither. She was just whiny, selfish, and elitist. The amount of time it takes for her to wake up (not a spoiler, because you know it's going to happen) is unrealistically short.

There's just way too much suspension of reality here. And the pacing makes us see much more of the bad than the good, which leaves unresolved aspects of the ending. Trust me-skip this one.

Standard Girl meets Boy

[blaufman-1 · 5/10 · 8 August 2018]

A fairly predictable movie, but it's probably what you wanted to see if you tuned it in. And it serves its purpose and satisfies your "feel good movie" craving. It works. Shona Kay is stunning of course and delivers a solid performance here.

My only complaint is the sound. The music overpowers the dialog constantly. In many scenes, changing camera angles introduced a noticeable echo mid sentence. In short, the sound quality is terrible.

Terrible

Horrible acting. Don't waste your time. Simply the worst move.

Honest maybe true,

[graemetd · 5/10 · 20 October 2019]

I enjoyed it,probably not everyone will,Has depth in story,of how hard it can be for people to see themselves,

Predictable,but really liked it

[riverpatrick · 10/10 · 11 January 2019]

Enjoyed the prayer to God through the movie,even though the lead actress was very selfish the lead actor has some challenges too,feel good movie

The only beautiful thing in the movie was the snow

[Fezz41 · 3/10 · 6 January 2019]

I rated it 3 - 1 for the handsome guy 1 a for the snow and well the last one was for the effort

Not the worst movie ever, watchable but several references to believing in god

[juliewillemsenonline · 2/10 · 7 August 2018]

It's a lightweight, fairly decent movie if you like powderpuff pieces about horrible, vacuous, unpleasant, unkind, rich women who change the habits of a lifetime within a few weeks, all because they find the right man (and maybe god), this is the movie for you.

The acting is passable, although not wonderful. The female lead seems several years too old for the role and for her behaviour. Also it would have been nice if someone had told her to cut the last 6 inches of dry, split ends from her hair.

I was going to give it 4 stars but took off 2 of them because too much god at the end.

Loved it.

[jewelch · 8/10 · 9 May 2021]

Acting okay; premise of rich girl brat a bit over the top... Love interest in mountain cabin making birdhouses and was doing a good job. ; also no animals other than a few muffled growls in the woods 'Beauty' wants best of everything but supposedly Five Star resort from which she wanders never seems to wonder why she doesn't return -- for two whole weeks! If this is what 'rich and famous' gets a single female traveler in the way of security maybe traveling coach isn't such a bad deal. ..... Don't expect brilliant screenplay in this genre, but it does seem a bit of editing wouldn't have been amiss in this one. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 5/8/21.

Got better as it moved along

[tskiraly · 9/10 · 14 August 2021]

The attitudes and behaviors of materialistic rich people do not entertain me, but as this movie went along, the lead character's spoiled and selfish outer shell began to melt as she warmed up to her love interest who spoke truth and gave her a dose of tough love which humbled her enough to find real love and happiness didn't come from her bank account. Worth the watch.

Truthful, true to life in many ways

[neuroepidr · 9/10 · 18 February 2021]

This is a great movie, so true to life in many ways. As a cognitive neuroscientist, I greatly appreciated how this film represented how one's past influences one's choices and direction in life. It also showed how our past, while it influences our present, once we recognize ourselves and the decisions we make, we can break from this, and have a future that is our choice, not a choice based on a past.

The only part in the filming that was odd was the road, but it is ok. I do not want to say much more.

Overall great story. True to life. This is a great film where educators and therapists can use to get a conversation started to get on to begin to look at their own behaviors.

The film is entertaining as well.

Very Charming

[tect-03564 · 10/10 · 30 April 2021]

I really enjoy movies like this where I don't have to worry about uncomfortable scenes of sex or violence. The acting was very good and the actors were very likeable. I don't know why this movie has such a low rating. It's very family friendly and delivers entertainment.
