'Beastly' is a special brand of hogwash: a fairy tale that preaches inner beauty while refusing to obscure the looks of its doomed hero.
Tasha Robinson
In every aspect, from story to tone to characterization to visual aesthetic, it's laughably perfunctory, as though everyone involved were too embarrassed to give it more than a half-ironic token effort.
Rafer Guzman
Beneath it all, however, is a movie with a good heart.
Adam Markovitz
Stunningly bad.
Stephen Whitty
For a fable about a magical curse, "Beastly" is strangely earthbound. And once it starts, it just seems to go on sappily ever after.
Linda Holmes
There are flashes of genuine wit and charm that, while they cannot support the rest, hint at what was intended and not realized.

Beastly gets one timeless fact right: For hatchet faces, fatty cakes and Frankenskanks, high school can definitely feel like a curse.
