Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)

Breezy, silly, inconsequential little movie about a drab, straight-laced governess getting fired and sneaking her way into a new position as a personal assistant to a flighty, promiscuous actress. Despite an almost jarring turn toward sentimentalism at the very end, this is light as a feather.

Though the actors all seem to be enjoying themselves immensely, I just couldn't get on the wavelength and it all fell flat for me.
