Penelope is a really great movie for those who need and want to help themselves feel better about themselves in their own skin, to feel and be confident, to love themselves unconditionally and much more. Penelope sets her own example of going out in public declaring her independence by accepting herself at some point with her flawed nose.

Born with the snout of a pig, young Penelope Wilhern (Christina Ricci) spends life a virtual prisoner in her home. Believing that the only way to break the curse is to marry one of her own kind, she meets a number of suitors, but all reject her. Two devious men, one with a grudge against the family, hire a man (James McAvoy) to pose as a suitor, but complications arise when he begins to fall in love with Penelope, and she makes a bid for freedom.
