Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

Buy This Item Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Universal Studios  Available from Amazon  $19.99  on 8-10-2008     Academy Award nominee Amy Adams and Academy Award winner Frances McDormand star in this charming and heartfelt comedy – a Cinderella story about friendship, personal transformation and finding true love. Reader Reviews This is a delight film with none of the killing and blood that movie makers seem to think makes for a hit. So what if you do see the young guy's buns, but the movie is a romance, not a sex film. Big difference. My wife and I both enjoyed this and laughed through several scenes. The theater viewers' reactions almost made a second delight. A truly fun movie filled with comedy, romance, period costumes and scenery (England) as well as such wonderful music. The music alone is worth the purchase. Perhaps the book as well, since it is based on a book by the same name. I can't recommend the book (YET) but go to the movie, or buy the DVD when available, or perhaps the CD. I'm sure you'll enjoy those. One scene we'd seen in the trailer was deleted in the movie. That's just one more reason we'll be buying the DVD--to see the deleted scenes. I give it only 4 1/2 stars because the story has a bit of a predictable ending. But even the predictability of girls getting the boys was a fun day with Miss Pettigrew. Yes! The entire movie takes place in a single day. If you have a day with as much fun packed into 24 hours as Miss Pettigrew, you'd remember it, and it would make just as good of a movie as this one. Bottom line...try it in some media form. You too, can live for a day, like Miss P.
