I took a group of 15 children to see this film durin the Easter holidays and they all loved it so much we are going to see it again on Friday. Some of the younger children got a little scared at parts of the film but still really enjoyed all the magic and wonder of it all. We also missed the first 10 minutes of the film but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to get the jist of it! Absolutely Fantastic!!!!

went to see penelope and had read reviews that it was good , we missed the first 10 min because there were no previews and we decided to get the popcorn, so unless the the best bit was at the beginning i thought it was a bit boring for the party of kids i had ranging from 7 to 12 years, none of them mentioned the film afterwards and i thought she still looked pretty and not as ugly as i though she was ment to be as for the scary bit i never saw it ! shame but i feel like i need to see the first bit i missed to see if it was as good as everyone says.
