A beautiful retelling of a classic story, but this one has a protagonist that doesn’t possess an exaggerated nose but is vertically challenged. A musical romance based on a classic literary work has many ways it could have gone wrong, but I really enjoyed this movie. Maybe not being a classically good-looking guy who is decent with words, but still gets the girl, felt a little more familiar to me than most. Not sure that the average moviegoer will enjoy this one, but I did. It got better reviews than I expected!
