They like the bad-but-secretly-good boys. You know what happened then? The audience cheered. Even the dudes. The kids loved it. Skip to content I have some friends. Follow Following.

When Kyle sees his mate Lindy on the streets, he saves her from a dangerous drug dealer and he brings her to his apartment to protect her. Now his only hope is that Lindy will fall in love with him. He knows that he is wealthy and good-looking, and, based on the tenets of Rob Kingson, his wealthy, good-looking and self-absorbed news anchor father, Kyle believes those traits get one everything in life.
Smug Kyle treats poorly and with disdain those who are unattractive or different. Although Kyle is generally idolized by his classmates, there are the few who want to see him brought down a notch or three because of his vainglorious attitude, and chief amongst them is Kendra. After a prank Kyle perpetrates on her--one that she saw coming a mile away--Kendra, a sorceress, places a spell on Kyle, disfiguring his face.
The spell will be broken if someone can truly tell him that she loves him. If no one does so within a year, the disfigurement will be permanent. As Rob implies that he would rather have a dead son than an ugly son, he places Kyle in hiding, with only their housekeeper, Jamaican immigrant Zola Davies who Kyle previously also treated poorly , and a tutor, a blind man named Will, in the house with Kyle.
Kyle quickly changes his attitude because of his situation. He can see that he loves Lindy, a classmate to whom he never paid any attention in three years of going to the same school. She, self-described as more substance over style, is smart but from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks, and trying to get away from the troubled life with her drug-addicted father. Outcast from his father and afraid of what others think, Kyle secludes himself in a loft downtown. Eventually, with the help of his blind tutor Will Neil Patrick Harris and his maid Zola Lisa Gay Hamilton , he gains courage and starts to form a selfless tendencies.
When the attractive yet unpopular classmate Lindy Vanessa Hudgens has problems of her own, he strikes a deal to take her in and protect her. The story, based on the critically acclaimed young adult novel by Alex Flinn, retreads most of the ground already covered by the classic fairy tale. What is left is a troublesome and vapid story that tries to cover its tracks with comedic situations and dialog.
The trouble begins when the opening minutes are spent showing how beautiful Kyle is, while also showing his extreme intolerance of those he considers ugly. His campaign for the Green Council is built around being handsome, without much else. While this draws the ire of those he mocks, his similarly good-looking peers enthusiastically cheer him on.
However, Kyle did not form his wonderful personality out of thin air. X as Pete Dydo Jason Edwardh X Gustavo Fernandes X Inc.
