Based on a 1938 Winifred Watson novel, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is a colorful story about lives stalled in middle age but kick-started again by the follies of youthful lovers all around. Frances McDormand stars as Miss Pettigrew, whose inability to hold a job in London as a governess compromises her well-being shortly before England’s entry in World War II. Finessing her way into a position as social secretary to a young, American golddigger and singer named Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams), the starving Miss Pettigrew finds herself at the center of a whirlwind that is her new employer’s life. Hemmed in by lovers and suitors--including a young, theatrical producer (Tom Payne) looking to cast one of his pleasing girlfriends in a plum role; a creepy nightclub owner (Mark Strong) in whose flat Delysia lives; and a pianist (Lee Pace) who genuinely loves her--Delysia needs a map to figure out how to navigate through life. Miss Pettigrew, who suffered a loss during WWI that she does not speak of, nudges the naïve songstress toward wise decisions. But she is at the mercy of Delysia’s formidable friend (Shirley Henderson), who knows the truth about her impoverished state and is engaged to a much older man (Ciarán Hinds). The latter, a fellow of substance who seems to be meandering through life, falls instantly for the soulful Miss Pettigrew. Full of Art Deco trappings and paced with a vintage, screwball comedy energy, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is like watching a contemporary version of a Hollywood classic. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Delightful romp in pre-war England
Miss Pettigrew (Frances McDormand) has hit rock bottom. She has lost her job, has no home, money, or food. Things are tight in London in the 30's so she has to stoop to a little subterfuge in order to ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Throwback to old 40's films
This movie is not about realism but its an escapist film. The performances are a bit over the top, just like Hepburn/Tracy/Grant type films. The plot is thin and the appeal lies in the creation of pre ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Mildly entertaining
Not a bad film, and it contains a good deal of enjoyable performances from all the cast. Yet, in the end, both my wife and I felt there was not quite enough there to make it stand out. Bet you Leonard Maltin ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - boring
I watched only 40 minutes. I couldn't take it longer.
BORING. crazy, I was very disappointed.

I give it less than 1 star.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One day leads to others...
Amy Adams. Angelina Joli. Sarah Jessica Parker. Frances McDormand. Odd, huh? Three younger beauties who can act. One maturing woman, not-so-beautiful, can stand equally with them. Star power? Inner beauty? Confidence? ... Read More
