I hope not.
I can't really help it. It is THAT time of year and all. Here's one for your NetFlicks or Family Video list.
Grade: A
This came out in 2008 and BW and I went to the theatre to see it. It was just recently on HBO and we watched it again. It reminded me of how much I liked this movie and my surprise that more people haven't seen it.
It's just a charming little movie and Frances McDormand and Amy Adams are just wonderful in it. Set in London, just prior to World War II, Amy Adams plays Delysia Lafosse, a young and somewhat flighty nightclub singer, determined to become a star. Frances McDormand plays Guinivere Pettigew, a down on her luck unemployed governess who maneuvers herself into a job as Delysia's social secretary. A social whirlwind of music, romance and cocktails commences.
Put this on your list. I think you'll like it.
Disclaimer: My mother didn't care for this movie. Amy Adams' character talks pretty fast and I think she missed some of the dialogue. But then this disclaimer needs a disclaimer. Mom didn't like Love Actually. So, I'm not so sure that her vote should turn you away from the lovely Miss Pettigrew.
I loved Miss Pettigrew. Fabulous movie. Good review... and no I am not sick of your reviews. Keep it up. We seem to have the same taste in movies...so I trust you.

Going to the movies with your mother sounds a lot like going with my mother. Bless their hearts. I've not see this movie.

I agree with you--this was a great movie. I rented it not knowing much about it and not expecting much, but my husband and I enjoyed it (and my husband is hard to please--if he has not ever heard of a movie, he will generally not be at all interested in it).
ReplyDeleteCatching up on your blog, and just added this to my Netflix queue! So excited that you're going to be a grandma again very soon...
