Here’s another movie on the same level as Enchanted on my highranked movies, which is right up there! I really liked this movie, well, James McAvoy helped but really the point of the story hit right at my heart. The "helpful mother" reminded me alot of my own too. But back to the story…

‘Penelope’ is the story of a young woman, Penelope Wilhern (Christina Ricci), born to wealthy socialites (Richard E. Grant and Catherine O’Hara). Penelope is afflicted by a secret family curse that can only be broken when she is loved by one of her own kind. Hidden away in the family’s majestic home, she is subjected to meeting a string of blue-bloods through her parent’s futile attempt to marry her off and break the curse. Each suitor is instantly enamored with Penelope (and her sizable dowry)? until the curse is revealed.

It’s a modern day love story that warmed the cockles of my heart, and left me smiling wistfully at the end of the movie =) Watch it!
