Beauty

This movie isn't perfect, I mean it's a Lifetime movie so it has its sappy moments. I am so glad I stumbled upon this movie when flipping mindlessly through the channels. This is modern adaptation of Beauty and the Beast based on the book, Beauty by Susan Wilson where Beauty is an artist and Beast is a lonely writer. The on screen chemistry between Janine Turner and Jamey Sheridan is what makes this movie wonderful and worth seeing. So many moments of this were heartwarming and overall this movie emphasizes admirable themes of a classic fairytale. If you like romantic movies, this is a good choice---only down-side---it's not available on DVD so you need to check ahead on Lifetime to see when it's on. It's worth the wait.

I really loved the movie called Beauty with Hal Holbrook. It was a warm-feeling movie that captured the heart of true love. The Beast character was excellent. Instead of having him look "beastly" he just looked like a man with a slight problem. He was warm and giving and he made you believe that nothing was wrong. Ms. Turner was excellent in the role of the artist. She is a great actress.

My mother watches this movie every time it's on. I would like to purchase the movie for her but cannot locate it anywhere. Could someone let me know where I could buy it?

Thanks

Even though I saw it by pieces (I was in the hospital), I have always wanted to see it again! I loved what I saw, the actors did such a good job. I regret not being able to see the whole movie. I wish it were on video I would definetly buy it.

It's a Lifetime movie of Beauty and the Beast. Predictable with several attempts to tug at your emotions. Love, death, and holding hands. The story tries to actualize that a well-painted portrait can capture the true essence of a person. However, the story also leads us in another direction. Can an artist capture the outward appearance of a man, put it on a canvas, and change the way that person actually sees himself? This made for TV story attempts to show that yes, it can, and no it doesn't. Of course, we have a hand-holding happy ending. Not-so-famous actors doing a credible job with the delivery of this subject. The hour and a half will go by quickly.

This is a great film! Great acting. Well done.This is a must see. It communicates the important value of not only seeing the best in others, but believing in your self in spite of what society or the media tells us. It also speaks to the fact that all individuals deserve respect (especially me!) This is shown in the relationship between Alix and Mark. Mark is a great contrast to the unselfish Lee. Jamey S and Janine T are great in their roles.The facial expressions are marvelous.
