You really ought to go see Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. Frances McDormand is wonderful, Amy Adams is insanely charming (and I really don't generally warm to movies where I'm expected to be charmed), and the whole thing is a deranged mashup of pre-code sex farce, self-consciously virtuous Masterpiece Theater miniseries and comedy of manners. It's not deep or life-changing, but it's fun in the way lesser Preston Sturges movies used to be fun.

Also Moaning Myrtle plays the snakelike evil fashionista and Prince Septimus plays the oily nightclub owner.

HM and I give it two thumbs up, excepting the flash of boy butt which she felt to be icky and chose not to watch.
