I Haven't Eaten in A Long Time |
|
What a charming movie to just kick back and relax to. This kind of movie reminds me of "The Importance of Being Earnest" or early or revised Restoration plays of the 1700s. I loved loved LOVED Amy Adams in this movie, and Frances McDormand is magical at what she does. The story is definitely one that is universal, where the higher class is under scrutiny by one who wants desperately to be in it. I really loved this movie. Its brilliant. |

Fantastic and Funny |
|
This is a really well done movie based on a really fantastic book. The story is both touching and funny, which is very difficult to pull off. The acting is great. Its hard to picture anyone but Frances McDormand as MissPettigrew and Amy Adams is perfect as the ditsy but lovable lead. Overall, just a really great movie. |

Gets Better as It Goes On |

This is another one of those films that solidifies my love for Frances McDormand. She’s a chameleon in every role she plays and she often adds an extra spice that makes her character that much more lovable. But she’s not the only one that shines here. Amy Adams more than held her own, especially during that bar scene when she sings and realizes what she really wants in life. Equally good are fascinating Shirley Henderson (who somewhat reminded me of Megan Mullally not just because of her voice but the way she carried herself) and the romantic Lee Pace. At first I didn’t know whether I was going to like the entire picture because the first twenty minutes were all over the place. There was a lot of energy going on but I was doubtful whether the filmmakers could harness all of it and keep a ... |

A Cinderella story |
|
A sprightly, energetic screwball variation on Cinderella, aided by another fabulous, bubbly performance from Amy Adams; Frances McDormand's depressing character weighs down a lot of the enjoyment, but it has heart, humor and pizzazz. Final Grade: B
