Kyle rescues Lindy after her drug-addicted father gets into a spat with his drug dealers. Lindy stays with Kyle for her protection and as you can guess they being to spend time together and his heart changes. There is mushy romance, flowers, poetry; the works but it is done in a way that makes me say "aww". The movie does do the big romantic gesture that I usually dislike but for some reason this romantic gesture makes my heart flutter. What I believe is positive about the film is how it shows someone trying to change and the actual emotions a person deals with. Kyle is frustrated because he doesn't understand that wealth and good looks does not mean everything to people. He tries to dig deeper into himself to understand the girl he is falling in love with, he does a grand romantic gesture that makes sense because he did this by himself to show how much he cares. The audience can see the transition of being self-centered to caring and feeling empathy for others and their sacrifices. The film also does a good job at depicting falling in love, mind you it is at an accelerated pace because a movie can't be five hours. However there is still the angst of being unsure how the other person feels, being scared to open up, and feeling vulnerable. While this movie goes in a pace that I didn't particularly like I truly enjoy this movie and what it does for love.

Can You Love a Beast?
From the title you all may think that I am switching to Disney princess movies and writing about Beauty and the Beast. Alas I am not but I am writing about a film inspired by the tale of Beauty and the Beast. A film talking about being unselfish, looking for substance rather than just what meets the eye; as well as accepting oneself. The film I am referring to is Beastly and I forgot how much I enjoy this movie until it popped up on a romance movies list. The film stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, and Mary-Kate Olson. The story is set in New York city with the stars in high school. However this isn't just any high school, it is state of the art and filled with a lot of wealthy kids. Obviously the cliche is the wealthy kids run the school and the rest of the student body is supposed to look up to them. Alex Pettyfer plays Kyle Kingston, the most popular guy in school, who actually runs the school like a mean girl would. Taunting others, believing he is inherently better than everyone else, but really has problems of his own. A mother who abandoned him and an uncaring father which makes him the person he is. On the flip side meet Vanessa Hudgens character, Lindy Taylor, smart, shy, and gorgeous. There worlds eventually meet after Mary-Kates character, Kendra the witch, puts a curse on Kyle turning him "beastly" (hahaha..I'm sorry I think I'm funny) and he must find someone to love him within the year.
