The time has come. Beastly has completely lost its dark side and transformed into a love story prime for semi-grown High School Musical fans. I guess we should have seen this coming all along, but my fingers were crossed that the film would ultimately embrace its sinister elements and make for a nice surprise.

Alex Pettyfer stars as Kyle, the quintessential hot guy at school, but that all changes when he crosses paths with a menacing Mary-Kate Olsen. She strips him of his good looks and transforms him into everything he hates. The only way to regain his boyish charm? Find someone to love him for who he is. His prime target? None other than the quintessential girl next door, Vanessa Hudgens.

Beastly is leaning towards the juvenile and formulaic side, but the film doesn’t hit theaters until July 30th, so there’s still time to regain lost faith.
