McDormand is left trying for emotional depth in a sea of middling farce and semi-sophisticated comedy. Aug 15, 2008 | Rating: 2/5

McDormand is frankly bland and unresponsive in a role she clearly couldn't care less about; Adams's wide-eyed ingenue routine is on autopilot, and the whole thing looks like a sub-prime American TV movie. Aug 15, 2008 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

It's a squirming watch, at times quite tortuous because the film can never decide if it's a musical or a play with far too much music. Aug 15, 2008 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Adams is adorable as the wide-eyed would-be starlet, with McDormand spot-on as the sensible half of the odd couple. A delightfully frivolous screwball comedy. Aug 15, 2008 | Rating: 4/6 | Full Review…

[Ciaran Hinds is] a terrific character actor, and he actually gets to play somewhat of a romantic lead in the story with Frances McDormand, which I thought was so sweet and gave this film just a little bit of gravity. Mar 10, 2008

However fanciful the happy endings are (and there must always be happy endings in this type of production), thanks to McDormand and a sweet, snappy script we believe and celebrate every moment of them. Oct 11, 2018 | Full Review…

An obvious homage to the great screwballs of the past, films in which women were zany, mad things, and men were sticks in the mud, Miss Pettigrew packs a surprising amount of heart into a silk charmeuse, marabou puff of a story. Aug 22, 2017 | Full Review…
