Line 9:
After a year of being in this state, and trying and failing to find love, Kyle changes his name to Adrian to reflect his feelings of being a completely different person from the conceited, materialistic boy he used to be. When a robber stumbles into his garden Adrian offers him a deal; he won't report the robber to the police if the robber brings Adrian his daughter, Linda. She is Adrian's last chance to break the spell before his two years are up.
 
[[The Film of the Book|The movie]] was released March 1818th, 2011; instead of Kyle being turned into an inhuman beast, in this version, he' turns into a [[Hollywood Homely|"human monster"]]—a -- a [[Heroic Build|huge]], [[Ugly Cute|ugly]] [[Punk Rock|punk]] covered in tattoos, [[Savage Piercings|piercings]], and [[Covered with Scars|scars]]. It was received poorly by critics, having only a 21% on [[Rotten Tomatoes]], and a 41 out of 100 rating on metacritic.

** Kyle himself is this for Lindy, who had a crush on him when he was human and who has no idea that he's her friend "Adrian".
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kyle starts calling himself Adrian after his transformation, a name which means "dark one", as he decides that "Kyle", which means "handsome", doesn't suit him anymore. In reality, Adrian is a Latin-derived name that simply means "man from the town of Hadria" and Kyle comes from a Gaelic word which means "channel" or "strait", but the inaccuracies can be [[Hand Wave|Hand Waved]]d by the reasoning that Kyle looked them up on the Internet which is not a 100% reliable source. Linda is also the Spanish word for pretty.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Kyle's father never paid much attention to him even before the curse, and Lindy's father is a drug user who gives her up to what he believes is imprisonment in a beast's dungeon. This is one of the things they bond over, really.
* [[Rage Against the Reflection]]

* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: The [https://web.archive.org/web/20130710235715/http://images.hitfix.com/photos/226356/AlexBeastlyShavedPt_article_story_main.jpg "beast"] just looks like a really hardcore punk kid who's been in a fight, which to a modern audience is arguably a lot sexier than his pretty boy form.
** And he gets to keep his six-pack abs, too.
