“Loving God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength will take you to the end of yourself, and you will find yourself looking out over a precipice. Only God can keep you from falling. Only faith working through love counts. Let’s never leave the simplicity and purity of devotion to Jesus. All we know when the pressure becomes great is Jesus and Him crucified. We exist by the power of the Cross, safe and secure.”
— Rolland and Heidi

A movie with a great message: 1 Samuel 16:7
Penelope’s mom and society at large look at her pig nose and find her wanting. Her mom continues to tell her that she is not her nose, but by her actions, shows Penelope that her looks are very important. The culmunating moment in the movie is when pig nosed Penelope realizes that she likes herself just the way she is despite her mom’s constant emphasis that her outward looks are not a part of her and can be ‘fixed’, and when her pig nose gets ‘fixed’ life will finally be good.
The inward/heart is what is important and we as parents must continue to show our unconditional love and the importance of the heart and not the outward appearance.
Probably a good movie for teens and tweeners. Does have a scary witch in the beginning casting a curse and a women committing suicide because she feels unloved (brief scene that sets up reason why Penelope has a pig nose-due to a curse).
