Christina Ricci (“Speed Racer”) stars as Penelope, a lonely heiress who has spent her entire life trying to break a strange family curse that left her with the nose of a pig. When she meets a charming aristocrat (James McAvoy, “Atonement”) who seems to see beyond her physical appearance, Penelope begins to learn that loving herself is more important than breaking the curse. Also starring Reese Witherspoon (“Legally Blonde”) and Catherine O’Hara (“Best in Show”), Penelope is a delightful modern-day fairy tale for the entire family. (Publisher)
