| 1 | * HollywoodHomely: Somehow, in this universe, all it takes is a pig nose to make ''Creator/ChristinaRicci'' an unspeakable horror. Not exactly Creator/CameronDiaz in ''Film/BeingJohnMalkovich'' for the viewer. |
| 2 | * MemeticMutation: That [[https://media1.tenor.com/images/c2450f4a71ada5f16866fb30c21cb9c9/tenor.gif .gif]] of Peter Dinklage pressing his hand romantically to a prison glass window before FlippingTheBird when the other guy comes to touch it is from this movie. |
| 3 | * SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: After [[spoiler: Max accidentally gets a photo of Penelope, he returns to Lemon and Edward. ...Only to smash the camera inside his suit, destroying any photographic evidence of the pig-faced girl. But he doesn't leave without telling them to leave her alone, that she's not the monster they think she is.]] |
| 4 | ** And when Edward [[spoiler: goes into details about how "ugly" Penelope is, Max (who has seen Penelope's face and didn't mind) defends her honor by getting into Edward's face and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calling him out on his spoiled, ugly behavior]].]] |
| 5 | * NightmareFuel: In Universe, Penelope is this to everyone. |
| 6 | ** Imagine wearing a carnival mask based on your own [[spoiler: formerly]] deformed face, which is what Penelope does at the end. |
| 7 | * OlderThanTheyThink: The film is not merely a Gender Flip of "Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast", it is actually based on the once-popular UrbanLegend of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig-faced_women pig-faced woman]], almost word for word. |
| 8 | * RetroactiveRecognition: In 2011, both Creator/JamesMcAvoy and Creator/PeterDinklage became widely recognized by the general public for portraying [[Film/XMenFirstClass Charles]] Xavier and [[Series/GameOfThrones Tyrion Lannister]], respectively. Also the journalist Larry Bunter is [[Film/PacificRim Hermann Gottlieb]]. |
| 9 | * TearJerker: After [[spoiler: Max turns down Penelope's proposal that he marry her]], Penelope goes to her room whilst her mother insists she'll never give up trying to find Penelope a suitor who will love her. All the while, Penelope looks back on all the previous suitors who ran from her and jumped out the window. The sound of the glass breaking is notably audible. [[FridgeBrilliance A second time watching it]], it becomes clear [[spoiler: it represents the sound of her breaking heart.]] |
