#46: Penelope (2006)

Penelope Wilhern (Christina Ricci) is cursed, and the only way out of it is to fall in love with someone of suitable stock. But how can she possibly find her soul mate when she's sequestered inside her family's sprawling estate with only her parents (Catherine O'Hara and Richard E. Grant) to keep her company? Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon co-produced this unconventional fairy tale about a girl who bucks convention to make her own happy ending.

Kinda ok. Presumably set in England -- though accents were all over the place (I'm assuming they filmed in the UK, and just didn't bother establishing the location as a real place -- maybe for the fairy tale theme?)
