Penelope (2008)

Penelope is an heiress suffering the curse of being born with "the face of a pig" (really just the snout of a pig), which can only be cured if she's accepted by someone "of her own kind." She's grown up isolated but loved and, now that she's a woman, is accepting blue-blood callers in hopes of breaking the curse.

This is a lazy, poorly-told fairy tale, buoyed only by the energy of Catherine O'Hara and charm of James McAvoy.
