Darren and I took a chance on a couple of movies we knew nothing about and they were both winners!
This movie was very funny. If you've seen Ricky Gervais in anything before, you know what I'm talking about. He's hilarious. I also love Tea Leoni. It's fairly clean with a little language and it has a sweet little message. The plot's been done. It's actually just a comedy version of "Ghost" with Ricky playing Whoopie's role. But it was well worth the $3 and the hour and a half.
I don't even remember seeing this movie advertised, I just came across it on Netflix. It was an adorable little romantic comedy done fairy tale style, a little like "Ever After" which I love. Penelope, played by Christina Ricci, has been cursed with a pig snout until she finds true love with a man of high society like herself. It's "Beauty and the Beast" but it doesn't take itself seriously and it's quite funny. So it's not too girly, because Darren liked it. And it was squeaky clean: no language, no sex. Reese Witherspoon produced it and she plays the friend role. How can you not like her? See it.

Believe it or not we haven't seen either of these movies, so thanks for the recommendation, we will have to check them out!
Thanks! This is really helpful, I am always looking for good movies to watch and they are few and far between it seems. I will see them both soon.
I hated GhostTown but havn't seen the other one. I might have to try it.
I'll have to rent Penelope. I saw Ghost Town and thought it was a cute movie :)
