In this retelling of the classic fairy tale, a lovely young woman, Beauty (Rebecca De Mornay), always puts her family's needs before those of her own, especially after her father (Yossi Graber) loses their fortune. Then, when her father garners the ire of a monstrous neighbor (John Savage), she selflessly takes his punishment -- imprisonment in a castle. Hardly seeing her captor in the beginning, Beauty eventually spends more time with the beast and begins to feel the power of love.

Not worthy of the Musical genre. I can't imagine the singing being any worse. The few songs that were in this movie were awkward and fake. Although the message is heartwarming, this version felt cheap, corny, and amatuer.
