I don't know if it's just this year, but the smaller movies have been the gold ones. Miss Pettigrew continues on that streak. I must assure you, that me enjoying this movie thoroughly on paper makes me look like a giant girl, you are wrong. It is a great movie, and gives you some solid dude moments to appreciate it with a dong.
Miss Pettigrew is a crotchety older maid lady in Pre World War II Britain. She sneaks into the employment of Amy Adams (who is on Jessica's heals as my main squeeze). Amy plays a ditzy American actress who is kinda a slut (is getting with 3 dudes, 2 for her career, 1 for love). The whole movie is Miss Pettigrew hanging with her and living a crazy day because of her.
Let me tell you this: aside from being gorgeous, Amy Adams is INCREDIBLE in it. Like, she's gonna get screwed for Best Actress because the judges will have forgotten about this movie by then, but she should be. It was like playing Elle from Legally Blonde, but so much more awesome. Like, I don't even know how to talk about it, she was just spectacular. And damn the director for the bathtub scene that has to be one of the greatest teasers I have ever known of.
The other interesting part of this movie was Francis McDormand as Miss Pettigrew. Kudos to the costume and makeup departments for uging her up so incredibly. Like, she was homelytastic. After seeing it, I looked at what she looks like, and she's a pretty woman.
The movie had a pretty salient plot, but it was made up for by solid performances by all (anchored by Amy of course). I was thoroughly entertained, and really just fell in love with the whole thing. I want all to see it, and I really feel they will like it.
One final side note, the director's name (Bharat) sounds like somthing Cluskey would do after eating machos, but that's just me.
Watch it! I give this movie a glorious and amazingtastic meh!
