“It’s not the power of the curse – it’s the power you give the curse” This is a quote from the movie Penelope. It’s a movie with a good message and love, one of my favorite combinations that make a good movie. It’s not what you look like its who you are that counts. I thought it was great to have Penelope break the curse herself. She accepted her appearance and the curse was broken. It was a great love story because max/Johnny not only loved her for who she was he realized that he needed to make some changes in his life and he did it for himself not for her. I have found that changes that are made for another person do not always stick; however, when you decide to make changes to improve yourself with the sole purpose of improving your self-image it has a higher possibility of success. You still have to work hard and keep your chin up; however, the end product is well worth the effort.
Here is a picture of James McAvoy, who plays Max/Johnny. He is proof that yes-brunette blue-eyed young men are still my preference. To bad he’s married:( 5+++ stars!
