Aiming to do for shut-in monsters what Twilight has for bloodsuckers, this teenage NYC riff on Beauty and the Beast casts Pettyfer as a pretty boy who incurs the wrath of a classmate. Cursed with disfigurement, he’s got a year to convince someone to see past the mask to the heartthrob underneath.

Beastly is a fairy tale that preaches inner beauty while refusing to obscure the looks of its doomed hero. Once he’s had a sulk, Pettyfer sets his sights on Vanessa Hudgens, who can see the depths of his alter ego. ‘I’ve seen worse,’ says Hudgens. It’s hard to say the same about Beastly.
