trailer:
The New York Times calls it "an example of how a little nothing of a story can be inflated into a little something of a movie with perfect casting, dexterous tonal manipulation and an astute eye and ear for detail." The Chicago Tribune opens a positive review with this: "bright, frothy slice of comic delight in the old-school style, "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" proves that they can make them like they used to, if only they try." Empire Online gives it 4 out of 5 stars and says it's "A charming 1930s Cinderella meets Sex And The City, only faster, funnier and male-friendly, with some depths in its subtler observations of morality."
Rotten Tomatoes has a critics score of 77%.

I've heard of this book series but have never read any. Nor seen the films. One of these days I should check them out. There are so many books to read, so little time. That's half the fun.:) And frustration. :) Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI can't speak about any other books/movies, but this film is delightful! And I don't tend to like romantic comedies ;)
DeleteI remember seeing this. When I got "roped" into seeing it, I thought it was going to be one of those "chick flicks" I absolutely DETEST, but this turned out to be fabulous. I loved the witty dialogue, the old time music, and Frances McDormand. I've loved her ever since I saw her in Fargo. You betcha!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing Fargo, and I liked McDormand in that, too!
DeleteWas quite good, I agree. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about this when it was released but only recently. I guess I just assumed it'd be a sappy rom-com. I was sooo wrong
