McAvoy is a wonderful leading man and Catherine O’Hara is perfect as an overbearing mom. Another actor, Simon Woods, pops off the screen as Edward, an utterly repulsive upper-class twit. Ricci does a terrific job looking cute—in fact, too cute. First-time director Mark Palansky played it safe with the nose: instead of misshapen, Penelope looks lovable. This makes scenes of would-be suitors jumping out the window...
