Title: Funny, lighthearated, poignant
Review: Guinevere Pettigrew (Frances McDormand) is an out-of-work, homeless, and hungry governess on the London streets of 1939. In desperation she knocks on Delysia Lafosse's (Amy Adams) door. In this madcap romantic comedy that takes place in one day, Pettigrew and Lafosse hit it off immediately with the older woman becoming Delysia's "social secretary." The impulsive young singer/aspiring actress offers quite a challenge to straight-laced Pettigrew as Delysia is juggling two relationships with men who offer her career possibilities along with her relationship to her "true love." The cast is excellent, the movie is funny, affecting, sweet, lighthearted, and poignant.
