War threatens London as Miss Pettigrew, a destitute governess, filches a client's card from her agency and presents herself at the door. A singer named Delysia Lafosse wants a social secretary as she seeks a West End role by sleeping with a feckless producer in the bed of Nick, a smarmy nightclub owner with whom she also dallies. She ignores Michael, her piano player, who loves her and has tickets for New York on the Queen Mary. Miss Pettigrew's job is to make sure Delysia gets the part. Over 24 hours, Miss Pettigrew is also called upon to help an ambitious and unfaithful fashion editor patch things up with her older fiancé, a lingerie designer. Has Miss Pettigrew found her calling?
Leave your thoughts about Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinFrothy and exuberantly entertaining - in part because of the sexual innuendoes - it's the best romantic comedy so far this year. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertAlthough it's small-scale, the film has a sumptuous sheen. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliAdams shines brightly, reinforcing the image she projected in Junebug and enhanced in Enchanted and Charlie Wilson's War. At this time of the year, it's tough to find a more diverting way to spend 90 minutes in a multiplex. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettFanciful wit to spare, and Adams is sheer delight. |
| Sin MagazineAustin KennedyThe movie draws you in and keeps getting better as it went along. I have a feeling I might even enjoy it better a second time. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperSomehow the characters never manage to make it all the way to likable. This film works as a quick throwaway comedy, only 90 minutes long, but is likely to be quickly forgotten. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenAmy Adams' Delysia is a whirling dervish of deceit. And yet, thanks to Adams' beaming smile, she's still sweet. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe only thing possibly more praiseworthy than Miss Pettigrew is the movie that bears her name. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersAs for Adams, her breathily robust portrait is one part Monroe, two parts Holliday and one additional piece entirely of her own whimsically unique inspiration. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonIf you felt the problem with Atonement was that it took all of the fun out of World War II, well, somebody's made a movie just for you. |
