Magic and curses are hallmarks of fairy tales: Rumpelstiltskin and Sleeping Beauty come to mind. They involve eternal slumber and even death. But have you ever heard of one causing someone to have a face like a pig?
As odd as it might sound, that's what happens in "Penelope," a 2006 fantasy romantic comedy featuring a veritable who's who of movie stars from the time: Christina Ricci, James McAvoy, Reese Witherspoon, Peter Dinklage, Catherine O'Hara and more. They all come together to tell the tale of a young woman who's been cursed by the mother of a jilted girl to live with the snout of a pig, seemingly destined to be alone forever.
