I wanted to see this movie since it came out but never got the chance to see it. Well after being introduced to Lee Pace in Possession (see other blog if you didn't already!) I had to see more of this man! So I went out and rented it and really enjoyed it. The whole idea is that Miss. Pettigrew is an out of work Governess during the 1930's in London. So one day she steals a job that she thinks is for a governess and shows up at this house. She is literally thrown into the life of this actress named Delysia (played by Amy Adams). She is trapped between 3 men and her careers. She doesn't know if she should choose love, money, or fame which is what these men are offering her. The one with money owns a club that she sings at. The one with fame is a theater producer that can give her the role of a lifetime. The one that is offering her love (played by lee Pace) is her piano player.
So Miss. Pettigrew has one day to help Delysia figure out what she wants out of life. Along the way they go Pettigrew gets the chance to live like she never has before. She finally sees what it is like to be a woman in society and not on the streets. She truly is amazing at her job and Delysia becomes dependent on her.
I love the way Pettigrew is so practically and sees what Delysia can not. She sees the love that Michele the piano player is offering her and sees what is inside. The film is very funny and inspiring. It is filled with moments that makes you smile, swoon, and fall in love all over again. I say go out and rent it. It is a chick flick so you have been warned fellas!
