nothing interested happened to me lately.. kinda boring.. so this morning i got up early in the morning, thought of
jogging around the neighborhood before breakfast.. but.. i was too
lazy, and the sun had came up.. so.. i made myself a cup of hot
Milo, pour a bowl of cereal, switch on the dvd player, and watch
Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day.. and this is what i hav to say..
first of all.. what's it all about, do i hear? well, first of all, this is rather a romantic comedy type of movie.. so whoever isnt into this type of movie, i suggest u stop reading tis instant and run along now..
*tries to sound british* well now..
*clear throat*, if everybody is ready, i would very much like to start my review now.. *ok i'll drop the fake british slang now..*
the whole movie started with a quarrel.. ok.. its more of a talk actually.. between a care taker and the employee.. the set took place in britain, in the 1930's.. so we can see the status differentious between the rich and famous, and the poor and homeless..
Miss Pettigrew, a poor homeless caretaker(and money less also) was at desperation when she was fired without getting her pay. she stole a contact card from the job agency and ended up at the front door of a young star-to-be
the star(who has a rather long name, which i did not even bother to remember) played by
Amy Adams *drools* was a mess.. had relationship with 3 men, a son of a producer, a club owner and an old friend. too make things short, pettigrew helped the star to open her eyes, wake up and see her the truth.. she helped her to realize who's her real love.. umm... stuff like dat.. its like she was blinded with the rich and famous lifestyle that she had forgotten who she was and her dreams.. basically pettigrew jz get her back on the right track..
it's a really simple movie, with good props and settings, and aweseme songs.. i hav to say, i love the songs in it.. most of them are from the golden ages.. 30's-40's..
swing, jazz.. ahh.. i jz love em.. Amy Adams even sang
'If I Didn't Care'.. which was my personal all time favourite.. and it was breathtaking.. i think i like her's better than the original version by
'The Ink Spot'..
anyways
.. this movie isnt just for the ladies.. there isnt much mushy stuff in it.. but there was no thrilling action part either.. i'd give it a 7/10..
