Preview: Penelope (2008)


Poster: C

Review:

Keeping Penelope hidden from view is the best thing this one-sheet provides. It also displays, in characteristic young adult style, the other characters in the film, but it does very little to actully encourage a viewing.

Trailer: A-

Review:

The preview takes great pains to avoid showing the porcine proboscis of the titular character Penelope. Amusing in its attempts to portray beauty as more than skin deep, the film may resonate poorly with audiences but it might just be the sleeper hit of the late Summer.

Oscar Prospects:

I don't think it will figure in the Oscar race much like The Princess Diaries didn't. However, depending on the overall effects in the film, Makeup could be a possibility but I'm not very optimistic.

Release Date:

February 29, 2008

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
