I Suck At Penelope

Last night was "family night". The designation of "family night" randomly came about because for the past few weeks, we have given our newborn daughter (Briana) her baths on Fridays. And since Briana's bath time was an activity that involved both Karen and I, the designation of "family night" Fridays was born. (We're still trying to work in the reading to Briana thing too... although that seems a little more difficult because she tends not to stay awake after feeding.)

So to kick off family night yesterday, we decided to watch the movie, Penelope. Now, I suck at Penelope. But thanks to our recent Verizon FIOS movie package, the movie was available for us to watch. (I'm getting some pretty good use out of this movie package.)

(The video below is a trailer for "Penelope".)


The movie is about a girl, who through the actions of her wealthy ancestors, was cursed to resemble a pig. The only way the curse can be lifted is if she finds another person like her own to love her. Confined to her own home, Penelope meets suitor after suitor, but they all flee when they see her pig-like curse. Distraught that she can never find anyone, Penelope flees the confines of her little world and enters the real world.

Needless to say, the movie was very good. I enjoyed it quite a bit. And what's not to enjoy? Reese Witherspoon produced and appeared in the movie... along side Christina Ricci, who was Penelope. All in all, the underlying message of the movie was good, and probably one that all people should learn.

Of course, Briana was fast asleep during the entire movie. So any messages were lost on her. Nonetheless, it was nice to enjoy a night with the family.
