Annie (Penelope) #2: After two long years, the time has finally come. Go see it!
Welcome to the 2nd Annie (Penelope) Appreciation Thread! The tale of a young woman overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds to win her Prince Charming has long been a staple of fairy tales but in Penelope, writer Leslie Caveny has given her story a contemporary twist. What if, for instance, the rich and handsome Prince Charming actually turned out to be a total cad, and true love for the heroine rested in the hands of an initially duplicitous card shark? And what if, more importantly, the story was less about a young woman finding true love and more about her learning to love and value h e r s e l f ? Cast // Crew W r i t e r: Leslie Caveny D i r e c t o r: Mark Palansky P r o d u c e r s : Reese Witherspoon; Jennifer Simpson; Scott Steindorff "She's literally trapped in a house, and we, in life, are crippled by our insecurities." - - Christina R i c c i "It's a fantastic film, especially in this climate where we seem to be celebrity-obsessed and where we chew people up. "There's a great girl at the center of the story who's sassy and funny and smart and opinionated, yet she has obstacles to overcome." - - Reese W i t h e r s p o o n __________________

Aww, Linds, I adore the new and improved opening! Thanks for the beautiful thread start!
The weekend box office results says that Penelope earned $4m for the weekend and imo, that's a great start considering it only released in 1,196 theaters. __________________

I really wanna see this. Although I might have to wait until it comes on dvd. We no longer have a movie theater at home and I doubt it'll come to my study town before I move back home, so...

Hi guys!
I'm Joanna or better known in fanform, Rona Jo. I was asked by Chelbh to come over here and talk about Penelope. Are those of you that haven't seen it yet, or still not sure about it, that it's a great movie. The storyline is great and actors are just amazing. Reese's character, Annie is fun and when she found out who Penelope was she didn't run away. She's a really true friend. Christina Ricci and James McAvoy were great too. Penelope sends a message to people that you don't have to be beautiful to be...beautiful. My advise, see this movie. |
