Not as charming as the book!Review created: 15/09/09

I bought this video as the book had been recommended to me and I had enjoyed reading it, so when I saw the film I couldn't resist!
It's a nice enough film but not as frothy and funny as the book. Miss Pettigrew doesn't seem to capture the feeling of reckless enjoyment that her character does in the novel. She's a lot more anxious and rather dour. It does feel a bit dated and perhaps the darker side was added to the film as an attempt to bring it up to date. In my view a mistake, it would have been better to keep it as the light-hearted, non-judgmental bit of fun that the author intended!

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day (DVD)Review created: 10/09/09
by:
This film was described as a modern day Cinderella, but to describe it as that makes it a story with no depth. This it is not.
This is set in the 1930s, with a lot of effort, going into creating something which is authentic. The storyline follows the life of Miss Pettigrew, who has previously been unsuccessfully employed as a governess. After being fired, yet again, she is faced with a uncertain future on the street. But in desperation, she dishonestly applies for a position, which was not hers, and funnily, turns her life around. Her influence on the lives, of all she meets whilst carrying out her duties, is amusing, entertaining, and unpredictable, but will it all turn out happily ever after?
This is a great film to watch, It is humourous, has a good storyline, and some great acting in it. A film not to miss.
