Miss Pettigrew

I know I haven't done a review in a while. That's partly because I'm lazy, and partly because I usually don't see movies or go to new exciting restaurants. Although, I do read books but I usually get them from the library and they've been out for ten years, so no one wants to read a review about such books.
Anyway, I saw "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" on Wednesday. I went with a friend of mine because I don't like to risk Aaron hating a movie when movie tickets cost so much. So we tend to catch the ones we're unsure of (on his part) at the Picture Show at the Main Place mall ($1.50 a ticket and $1.00 on Tuesdays! Yeah!). It's a classy joint.
Okay, back to "Miss Pettigrew". I liked it a lot. The plot wasn't extraordinarily creative, and the ending tied up a little too neatly for me, but it was a fun movie. The sets and costumes were great. There were lots of great one-liners sprinkled throughout the script, and they were well-delivered by the cast. Amy Adams was hilarious as fake socialite Delysia LaFosse. I've liked that lady in every movie I've seen her in, and she was even funny in her small guest role in "The Office". So, I may have a new favorite actress. Frances McDormand was easy to root for as the title character, and showed some comedic talent of her own.
I don't feel like writing much more than that. If you think you could get into a slapstick comedy set in pre-WWII London, then go see it. Otherwise, stay at home, or catch it with us when Aaron and I see it at Main Place in a few months.
