HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald says in his 4.0 out of 5.0 review of the new film “Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day” with Frances McDormand and Amy Adams:

Character comedies that actually have some depth and fun are as rare as boobs without silicone in Hollywood. “Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day” reaches these heights with a sensibility of an old studio picture with stylized glamour, lovable rogues and at the center the great Frances McDormand as the title character taking a chance in 24 sparkling and event-filled hours.
