Frances McDormand performs brilliantly from beginning to end as Delysia Lafosse?s (Amy Adams) new social secretary. Miss Pettigrew is thrown head first into the extravagant and promiscuous life of Lafosse and is the perfect woman for her new profession. She has a way with people and words and aids Adams with her career and moral issues. We are informed that Adams and McDormand are essentially the same woman. They are both playing roles to get by and make a life for themselves and they find out what true happiness is as the movie concludes. Miss Pettigrew is a love story with an ending the audience hopes for and has fantastic costume designs. ?The heart never lies?.

this was very entertaining, i was expecting a chick flick, but my husband enjoyed it also. reminded me of the old fashioned movie with a story you could follow and a happy ending. I was never bored

1. I think you can rarely go wrong seeing a movie featuring Frances McNormand. 2. I am starting to think the same about movies with Amy Adams. 3. It was delightful to see the Pie Maker (lee pace... pushing daisies...) on the big screen. The movie was about as entertaining a show as one could ask for. Go see it!

I took my wife because I thought she would like it, and its one of the best movies I've seen in years!! If you have any appreciation at all for decent movies (and not the "to call it crap would be an insult to crap" movies that Hollywood is so fond of putting out)....PLEASE GO SEE THIS MOVIE RIGHT AWAY!

Honestly one of the best movies i have seen in a while. It is reminiscent of the old school 1940's movies that i loved so much that used to play all the time on AMC or TCM. The way it ran was a lot like a play - you can tell there were solid staging and it would translate well to stage. all in all, great acting, wonderful story line and i walked out of the theater with a smile on my face :)
