5.0 out of 5 stars Beauty is beautiful!, 11 Jun 2007
By Purple Pug 888 (West Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
  
This film first aired on ITV 1, and is Simon Nyes modern reworking of the classic that is Beauty and the Beast.
It stars Martin Clunes as the reclusive, misunderstood Tom Fitzhenry, an aristocrat who rarely ventures out of his estate; until he meets Sienna Guillorys character Cathy.
She helps him to over come his inhibitions, whilst fixing his pluming!
Also starring is Gwenllian Davies and Peter Vaugh as Fitzhenrys hilarious servants, Sam Kelly as Cathy's dad, and Cristian Solimeno as the repulsive Ryan, who's funniest line in the film is to Cathy - "Come back! Are you wearing any knickers? I care about you!"

Any die hard Beauty and the Beast fans will have fun noticing the similarities between the 2 films {I did anyway!}
1. The mention of Roses
2. Cathy's love of books
3. The fact the girls in both films were brought to their Beasts inadvertently by their fathers
4. The line uttered by the girls as they enter their Beasts homes -
"Hello! Is anybody there? Dad? / Papa?"
etc, etc, etc!

The only bad things about this DVD are - 1. The fact that it has no special features, which is a shame {they could have shown how they applied the special make up to Martin Clunes' face, etc} and 2. The fact that it only lasts around an hour!

This film always has, and always will cheer me up when I'm feeling low {with lines like "its amazing the strength that happiness gives you" how could it not!} and anyone who has ever been bullied or felt different will develop an instant love for this film.

Utterly fabulous!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Short and Sweet Charmer from Simon Nye, 5 Jun 2008
By Scots Lass (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
"He looks like the elephant man - only not enough to go on tour".

This is how the Lord of the Manor, the reclusive Tom (Martin Clunes) is described by the villagers whom he avoids. With centuries of in breeding resulting in a deformed forehead and fleshy face, Tom keeps himself to himself and makes sure no one comes close enough to see him. He rattles round his impressive home with only his elderly butler and his wife for company. But things change for Tom when the house plumbing finaly gets beyond his repair skills and a local man has to come and fix it.

When the plumber (Sam Kelly) is injured, his daughter Cathy takes over the work and after various shouting matches, she begins to see beyond Tom's looks to the man inside. In turn, Tom no longer needs his housekeeper to cut out pictures of eligible young ladies from "Tatler" - he has found the girl he wants all by himself!

But will village Casanova Ryan allow Cathy to be spirited away? The scene is set for a showdown which Tom must face - even if it involves a dreaded trip to the local pub.

At only 50 minutes long this is a short drama, but the laughs come thick and fast and the reworking of 'Beauty and the Beast' is a joy from start to finish.

3.0 out of 5 stars Charming but too short, 12 April 2009
By M. L. P. (Shrewsbury, Ma) - See all my reviews
This updated version of Beauty and the Beast is well acted and offers some very pleasing moments. However, with a run time of only 49 minutes, the production is just too short for full character development. The viewers hope, is to see the relationship between the reclusive Tom (Martin Clunes) and the beautiful plumber/barmaid Cathy (Sienna Guilroy) gradually build from what at first is an awkward encounter into a perfect love match. Instead, what we get are some very pleasant vignettes which could, given a chance, develop into an interesting and enjoyable love story. That said, I recommend the DVD because of the fine acting and although short, very pleasing story.
