Penelope

Penelope

8.2 out of 10

Comedy Penelope is born into the wealthy Wilhern family with a piggish countenance - the family curse. Her well-to-do parents hide her from the cruel, unforgiving outside world, hoping to find an upper class bachelor to lead Penelope down the aisle and break the spell. Unfortunately, all likely candidates are repulsed by Penelope's appearance. When tabloid reporter Mr Lemon, who has been trying to get a photograph of Penelope for years, learns of her whereabouts, he hires down-on-his-luck blue blood Max to pose as a suitor and capture her grotesque likeness on hidden camera.
