| Box Office Amy Nicholson The surprise is that this long-delayed CBS Films release is funnier, sharper and sweeter than expected -- at least good enough to meet its low expectations. | 8 |  |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson Saddled with the presence of two actors who don’t seem to realize they’re in the same movie together, Barnz’s freak-friendly fairy tale loses its gusto. | 5 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Beastly opts not only to modernize the story but to transplant it into the ''real world.'' The result is a contrived mess. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Not quite the train wreck I thought it would be. | 7 | |
| Metacritic.com 26 critics | 8 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Fundamentally misguided, poorly written, and badly acted, Beastly adds little to the legacy of its timeless source material. | 3 | |
