SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
PENELOPE is the story of a young woman, Penelope Wilhern (Christina
Ricci), born to wealthy socialites (Richard E. Grant and Catherine
O’Hara). Penelope is afflicted by a secret family curse
that can only be broken when she is loved by one of her own
kind. Hidden away in the family’s majestic home, she
is subjected to meeting a string of blue-bloods through her
parent's futile attempt to marry her off and break the curse.
Each suitor is instantly enamored with Penelope (and her sizable
dowry)… until the curse is revealed.
When a willing mate cannot be found, mischievous tabloid
reporter Lemon (Peter Dinklage) hires Max (James McAvoy) to
pose as a prospective suitor in hopes of snapping a photo
of the mysterious Penelope. Max, who is really a down-on-his-luck
gambler, finds himself drawn to Penelope and not wanting to
expose or disappoint her, disappears and leaves Lemon in the
lurch. Fed up by this latest betrayal and determined to live
life on her own terms, Penelope breaks free from her family
and goes out into the world in search of adventure - curse
be damned.
