Penelope was born into a wealthy family with one problem: a family curse was thrown by a witch years ago that caused Penelope to be born with a nose that resembles that of a pig. The only way to break the curse is for Penelope to find true love with "one of her own kind." Every prospective suitor heads for the door after seeing Penelope's nose, but gambler Max (James McAvoy) is an exception. Max is paid by reporter Lemon (Peter Dinklage) and would-be-bridegroom Edward Vanderman, Jr. (Simon Woods) to woo Penelope and take a picture of her. Now, will Max turn out to be Penelope's Prince Charming, and will they live happily ever after?

Cast: Keira Knightley, Donald Sutherland, Matthew Macfadyen, Claudie Blakley, Brenda Blethyn, Rosamund Pike, Judi Dench, Jena Malone, Talulah Riley, Simon Woods, Carey Mulligan, Kelly Reilly, Sylvester Morand, Pip Torrens, Janet Whiteside
Based on Jane Austen's novel about love and life in the class-conscious 19th-century England, Donald Southerland and Brenda Blethyn take on the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet whose daughters' futures seem to hinge on marrying into the world of wealth–not necessarily with love involved. When Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) opts to choose her own husband for love, not money, her sisters follow suit. Four Academy Award nominations were received, including Best Actress (Keira Knightley).
