The film's screenplay was written by American film and television writer Leslie Caveny. The movie was subsequently novelized in 2007 by American children's book author Marilyn Kaye.
It's a fairytale story about a young girl cursed to have the nose of a pig until she can find true love.
Viewers who have seen Penelope suggest The Princess Bride (1987), in which a princess is being forced to marry a prince she doesn't love, at the same time that her true love is fighting hard to free her. In Prince Charming (2001), a prince is turned into a frog until he can get a maiden to kiss and marry him. Although not a fairy tale, viewers of Penelope have recommended Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001) aka Amelie for its similar whimsy.
