2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

lvmemphis Can I give a zero? or a negative number? Where do I even start? Shirtless guy running for about 85% percent of the movie, which seems like it's the same shot, just repeated over and over. There is no story line, no real explanation for his so-called "beastly" behavior, no chemistry between beauty and the beast. Spoiler..maybe??? Why was Belle and the two random guys the only ones dressed up for the Christmas dance, which I may add, did not really have any dancing. In fact, they left the DANCE to dance...it doesn't really make any sense. In fact, the parallels drawn between beauty and the beast and this god-awful film are so vague that it takes a while to see that it is, in fact, a spoof. The music didn't really bother me, but maybe that was because I was so fixated on the terrible acting. A real waste of an hour

pphilps Please watch this movie on mute. Even on mute you will understand how horrible this film is. I was hoping it would be cheesy.... Nope, straight up brutal!I am convinced that the actors family must have written even the mediocre reviews. The acting is unbelievable.... The only decent actor is Tony... Well and the dog!Please.... If you watch this rate it properly. Don't rate it a 4 and then say it is garbage.If you have any Christmas spirit watch 10 minutes, realize it is the worst movie available and rate it appropriately.

Jack Vasen First of all, I agree with the people who say the music is overdone, but that is minor compared to my real complaint.I was enjoying this movie, until Tony committed criminal assault and Belle didn't call him out for it. No one ever called him out for it. No means No, and Belle told Tony No any number of times. People wonder why we have a problem in this country with men not taking no for an answer. The reason is because our culture has told men for years that if the woman doesn't say yes, then just push a little harder. And even kiss her when he knows she doesn't want it. In the 40's and 50's they made all kinds of movies where the man suddenly and forcefully grabs the woman and kisses her, again forcefully. We have to stop accepting this behavior and the portrayal of this behavior as anything other than what it is - assault. The 21st century equivalent of this goes far beyond mere kissing, but it is a logical progression if the myth is never challenged. The other side of the subject is that women need not to be afraid of really saying no. There is a definite time for tact and letting him down easy, but in this movie, Tony was way beyond that. And at one point, for one moment, Belle vacillated in her message because she didn't want to create friction. That didn't justify Tony's next action, but it certainly would have helped prevent it if she had simply said "NO Tony. No. I will never give in to you." And even if Tony had still kissed her, either way, her response should have been unmistakable. In the old days, it would have been a slap in the face.In our culture, boys and men need to be shown one message - no means NO, whether it is kissing, or something more. As a culture, we have to stop accepting mixed messages in this area.This movie should not be tolerated.

Holland Wiersma So um, was this supposed to be a comedy or a romantic Christmas story? First off, the whole movie is practically a spin-off of Beauty and the Beast… the main character's name is even Belle. Throughout the WHOLE ENTIRE MOVIE the music N.E.V.E.R. STOPS! And what is with the random scenes where the guy is running without his shirt on? My family and I laughed the entire time, especially once we found out it was a spin-off of Beauty and the Beast. If you're going to make a crappy movie then at least have your own dialogue and not a stolen Disney one! I will forever watch this movie… only for a good laugh. When deleting scenes, the director should have just cut the whole movie. The acting was not terrible, but the poor quality filming led the crew to put organ music over ALL SCENES. Most dialogue was either irrelevant or awkward and once again the music made everything worse. The only reason i would ever make someone watch this movie would be for them to share my sentiments on the overall quality of this movie. The dog was by far the best actor in this Christmas movie.
