Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (Widescreen & Full Screen Edition)
$19.98
It's taken over 65 years for Winifred Watson's novel, MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY, to get to the movie screen, but it's been well worth the wait.

London is on the brink of World War 2, and times are tough; but things look particularly grim for one Miss Pettigrew (Frances McDormand). She's a children's nanny who can't seem to find her niche, instead living a desperate hand-to-mouth existance in the slums and soup-kitchens of the city; but everything turns around when she manages to land a job as "social secretary" to the dizzy American nightclub singer, Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams).

Delysia's complicated love-life needs a firm hand, and Miss Pettigrew fits the bill nicely, managing to turn her brief 24 hours of service into a life-changing experience neither of them will forget.

MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY is a giddy romantic period romp, the perfect screen adaptation of Watson's fondly-remembered novel. Rising star Amy Adams ("Enchanted", "Doubt") adds another delightful role to her canon; Frances McDormand makes the character of Miss Pettigrew come to life with lots of untold layers. Lee Pace shines as Delysia's piano-playing boyfriend; with Shirley Henderson, Mark Strong and Ciar���n Hinds.

My teenage daughter and I first played this game at a friend's home. We both had such a great time... I had to buy it. We have now played it with other friends and relatives who have visited our home, and EVERYONE seems to love it! It is an easy game to play, and perfect for all ages! Unlike other games - where once you have played (or used a certain card in play) you cannot play again - with Hit or Miss, it is a new game everytime you play! New responses are given in various categories, and some are just hilarious!

We recently played with a group of friends, and the category was "Things you do to make yourself look better" - the responses varied... makeup, plastic surgery, etc. My answer got so many laughs... "Hang out with ugly people!"

My son and his fiance came for a visit with some friends a few weeks ago, and we busted out this game. Their responses were so funny, I laughed until I cried.
