Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day

Penelope
$25.99
Penelope is a delight of a movie. Witty and clever in the retelling of a well known theme,the Princess and the Frog. In this case it's a 'frog' or should I say 'pig' princesses job to try and get herself loved for herself to break a curse. This modern princess has better things to do then wait around for Mr. Right and she wants to just experience life. It's a sweet telling of the story with a host of delightful characters helping her along the way. I watch it over and over and just enjoy the journey. I think you will enjoy the journey too.

If you loved the movie and the music this is the perfect CD for you. If you wish you were back in those days, this CD will help you Dream.

Made of Honor
$19.94
Made of Honor is your typical bland, predictable, thoroughly contrived romantic comedy. The only reason I'm not giving it one star is that the production values were excellent, the shots of Scotland were gorgeous, and, believe it or not, there are even worse romantic comedies out there. (Tiptoes immediately comes to mind.)

The basic problem with this film was not that it was predictable and formulaic (all romantic comedies are predictable and formulaic), but that every single person involved with this film was bored to tears. The actors were bored, the writers were bored, the producers were bored, the editors were bored, the grips were bored ... even the gofers were bored. And it showed. The jokes were lame, the chemistry non-existent, the lines well... "don't marry him", "I've always loved you", "these are glow-in-the-dark thunder beads." Need I say more?

If you are laid up with the flu and just need to kill a couple of hours, Made of Honor will probably do the trick. The good part is that you won't remember a thing afterwards.

Curl up with this book, a nice cup of that which you fancy (Miss Pettigrew herself would probably suggest tea), perhaps a little something to nibble on...

To discover a previously unknown book that so rapidly becomes loved is always wonderful.

Persephone books specializes in joyful reading experiences, Miss Pettigrew is the patron saint thereof.
