Movie Review: Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day

This is one of my favorite Romantic Comedies of all time. It’s set in the 1930s London and it’s about one day. One day in the life of governess Miss Pettigrew (Frances McDormand). After being sacked for the third time, Miss Pettigrew out of desperation falsely take on the job of a social secretory for singer and actress, Delysia LaFosse (Amy Adams). Delysia’s crazy and complicated life takes Miss Pettigrew and us through an exciting journey.

I love this film because it talks about many topics we face everyday, like how to be true and more authentic to who you are and also how the choices we make on daily bases can affect our entire life. In this film Delysia had to choose between Fame, Money or Love. That is such a hard thing and how one day, one crazy day changed her and Miss Pettigrew’s life forever. It also shows us how unexpected friendships can be found in the most unexpected places. No one tolerated Miss Pettigrew before but she became Delysia’s confidant and close friend. It is amazing how beautiful these friendships can be.

The best thing is these topics are dealt with in awesome way! The sound track on its own makes you joyful and dancy. The film has one of my favorite songs ever! If I didn’t care. Breath taken.

The film is super hilarious and fun!  Delysia’s life is truly crazy and it’s is exciting to see how plain old Miss Pettigrew deal with it.  My favorite part is when Delysia took her for a makeover! We all love a good makeover. And the fashion! So pretty. I love the elegance and the simplicity of the 30s fashion. The colors are divine too!

If I want to talk about performances as well, I can honestly tell you that Amy is as brilliant as ever! I don’t think anyone else could portray Delysia’s character in a better way. Delysia is difficult because she’s a pretender. She tries her best to act that she doesn’t care and do what she has to do to get to her dreams. Amy Adam’s rocked that! Her face changes completely according to Delysia’s pretense. Like I said, Brilliant. Miss Pettigrew on the other hand is new to the pretending game so you see her face expose her sometime and Frances as always preformed wonderfully. The person who stole my heart was Lee Pace and his role as Michael. To understand why, go watch the film!

The film is based on a novel by Winifred Watson and I’ve seen it like seven times already and I can tell you, it still make me laugh and smile!

I’ve been away for some time because I’m re-planning my blog, but thought to review this film today. I’ll continue blogging whenever I can, but wait for a new announcement soon ;) follow me in twitter @Kemzmovies for updates!

Till the next one!

Movie Review: Bridget Jone’s Diary

I’m probably the last person on this planet who have seen this film! I know I’m 12 years late, but I finally got to see it!

It’s the story of Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) who is 32 and single! Sick of her pitiful life she tries to change things and started with writing a diary. That year her playboy boss, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) notices her finally and a new relationship starts. Bridget love life get complicated when Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) come in the picture with his arrogant attitude. That creates one of the most beloved classic Romantic Comedy and timeless love triangle.

From the beginning I knew that this story is clearly a somehow modern take on Pride and Prejudice. I had to check online, but I was right! The moment you see the first scenes you can tell and of course, Mark Darcy’s name is a big hint hahahaha.

It was so romancy and super funny! Although Renée’s British accent threw me back at first, but when I got used to it, I wasn’t bothered that much.

I think the reason of this film’s popularity comes from how Bridget Jones’ daily struggle with her weight, career and love life is something that everyone can relate too. Especially the un kept new year’s resolution of losing weight and try and change your life.  A cliché, but let’s face it, that’s reality.

Many tell me that the book, which was based on, is even funnier, so mental note to read it!

I should’ve watched another film. This is such an easy film to review. I laughed, I sighed and awwwwed, so what more shall I look for in Romantic Comedy.

A fun classic romance!

Now I need to watch the sequel ><”

Till I see something else

Movie Review: Pillow Talk

Today I fell sick, so I thought what’s better than to watch a fun classic! I just got the DVD for 1959’s Pillow Talk and I found out it was the perfect amusing film!

The story is about Jan Morrow (Doris Day) an interior decorator and Brad Allan (Rock Hudson) a songs writer who both single and share a party line.

I don’t want to say more because it’s better to see it yourself. But I can say this; it’s hilarious fun and an awesome classic! It really made me feel better and I didn’t regret ordering it!

Classic films are always light and have this enchanting feel to it. It just puts you in a great mood!

The storyline is a new favorite of mine as you don’t feel the hour and 45 minutes pass by! You really don’t! This film I will always recommend to anyone who asks me about Classics!

For me as a no classic expert, this was a film I never heard of and found it by accident in Amazon, but as you can tell I really enjoyed it and it’s such a true Romantic Comedy!

Till the next one!
