Surprise! Surprise!

Beastly
Handsome actor, cute actress, recycled script, predictable plot- Beastly should really be the last movie on your weekend watch list. I won’t go as far as 100 words to prove why you should not waste your time on it. I can forgive teenagers who want Alex Pettyfer or Vanessa Hudgens so much, they’d…
