The Movie Beastly Gets 3 Stars in The Miami Herald. By Geniusofdespair

The Miami Herald gave Beastly 3 stars.

I saw the movie at its Florida opening on Monday. It is a chick flick with a positive message to teens and was fun to watch - I also go with 3 stars. My almost 11 year old niece, who accompanied me, left the theater smiling and eager to read her autographed book. She said she loved the movie and couldn't wait to tell her friends about it.

We all know by now that our own Miami-Dade fellow resident Alex Flinn wrote the book on which the movie was based. I wish Alex continued success with her writing.

This movie was absolutely the sweetest love story. I enjoyed it and think it carries a great message.

Way to go Alex!

Ps: wonderful photo!

I read the book but didn't see the movie. I thought it was written beautifully. Thank you for such a nice story Mrs. Flinn.

That's a great photo of Alex.

I've been reading such great reviews and learning about her other books; how inspirational they've been to young adults, probably not too young adults too!

Once again, all the continued success, and thanks for all you do for our community as well.

I love when we have hometown happy news! And, boy, do we need some.
