I saw Penelope recently and...well, despite what various movie reviewers have said, I loved it. Yes, LOVED. I thought it was sweet and romantic, and I also liked what it had to say about believing in--and liking--yourself. Has anyone else seen it? What did you think? (Feel free to say how much you hated it if you did--goodness knows, you seem to be in the majority)
