Not much to say in 22 seconds, Beastly looks cool but the plot needs to be told.

Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) appears to have it all looks, intelligence, opportunity and wealth. However, he has a wicked cruel streak. Prone to mocking and humiliating aggressively unattractive classmates, he zeroes in on Goth classmate Kendra, inviting her to the schools extravagant environmental bash. 

Kendra consent, and, true to form, Kyle blows her off in a particularly savage fashion. She retaliates by casting a spell that physically transforms him into everything he despises. Go Girl! 

Enraged by his horrible and unrecognizable appearance he confronts Kendra and learns that the only solution to the curse is to find someone that will love him, a task he considers impossible. Repulsed by his appearance, Kyles callous father banishes him to Brooklyn with a sympathetic housekeeper (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and blind tutor (Neil Patrick Harris). 

As Kyle ponders how to overcome the curse and get his old life back, he chances upon a drug addict in the act of killing a threatening dealer. Seizing the opportunity, Kyle promises the addict freedom and safety for his daughter Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) if she will consent to live in Kyles Brooklyn home. Thus begins Kyles journey to discover true love in this hyper-modern retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast story.
