Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day


Rating = C+

I wonder why this movie was made. It could have fit in nicely with the movies made in the 1930s, and there is no reason to have such a fairy tale period piece today. Nonetheless, overall the movie is reasonably enjoyable.

Amy Adams and Frances McDormand are fine in their roles and they provide reasons for American viewers to go see the movie. However, I suspect any number of British actresses would have been just as good or better in this otherwise all British production.
