This film is an examination of true love and whether it is possible in today's world. The over-arching story is that of 'Beauty and the Beast'. In the updating, Beast is a socially inept man that is hard to get along with. He has been hurt by love before and is not able to overcome how he feels about himself to express how he feels about another person. When Beast's roommate, Darin, wants to move in with his girlfriend, it becomes necessary for a roommate exchange. And so Beauty and the Beast become roommates. As Beauty and the Beast start to fall in love, their courtship is supplemented by the stories of 'Cinderella', 'Snow White', and 'Little Red Riding Hood'. These stories are intercut into the main story to enhance the fairy tale quality of the main story and to express feelings, thoughts, or a subtext of the main story. Where Beast might not be socially graceful or good with women, Prince Charming is able to give Cinderella a perfect date at the ball. Like Prince Charming and Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast are able to exist in an idyllic state of love that is the nature of love at first sight. 'Snow White' and 'Little Red Riding Hood' continue to supplement the Beauty and the Beast narrative and make the story line get a little darker. It becomes increasingly more difficult for true love to be possible with the existance of evil and romantic rivals. Can love conquer all?
