Matthew Reese and Summer Naomi Smart play the title roles in this LDS produced adaption of Beauty And The Beast. It's a pleasant romantic tale fit for
more than church audiences.
Our beast is a millionaire recluse whom if he doesn't change his ways is going to
become Mr. Potter in his old age. He lost his wife years ago and except for a
housekeeper and a parade of assistants who last like the maids in the Day household in Life With Father.
Into his life comes Belle played by Summer Naomi Smart who's a churchgoing
girl and softens the man.
Smart and Reese have some good chemistry and the relationship deepens and
even survives a bit of sabotage.
Nice bit of film making from the LDS church.
