Beautiful Creatures

"This romp into the occult has a potent sense of humor. That comic edge and strong dialogue raises the movie's quality over most teen romances (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"'Beautiful Creatures' has a much better sense of humor about itself than the "Twilight" movies, with most of the grown-up actors delivering performances leaning more toward the devilishly campy than the straightforward and dramatic (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"While it's never quite as spellbinding as its witchcraft-themed story line promises, 'Beautiful Creatures' is a welcome addition to the ranks of paranormal teen romance (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"More laughs are expected in the next two installments of what threatens to become a trilogy. It's early, but I'm already making plans to be out of town" 

"A concoction that makes highly calculated use of fantasy, fates, taboos, young love and visual hocus-pocus to ensnare an audience in a narrative web that's pretty darn ridiculous"
