CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Lee Eisenberg I've never read any of the Eloise books. I can only say that "Eloise at the Plaza" is unlikely to appeal to anyone over the age of thirteen. What caught my attention was the brief appearance of Jason Jones, best known as a correspondent on "The Daily Show".* His wife Samantha Bee now hosts "Full Frontal" on TBS.What I concluded from this movie is that there's no way to stop spoiled rich kids from doing out-of-control things. This is known as affluenza: someone with an overly coddled upbringing develops no sense of responsibility. A teenager in Texas was drinking and driving and killed some people in the process, but got a light sentence on an affluenza defense.So, if you're interesting in seeing some of the cast members, you might be impressed. The cast includes Julie Andrews, Jeffrey Tambor and Christine Baranski (Leonard's mom on "The Big Bang Theory"). Otherwise only the tykes will enjoy it.*Jason Jones was the one who interviewed Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari. As a joke, he called himself an American spy who wanted to know why Iran was so scary, and Bahari noted that Iran and the US had a lot in common, namely an enemy in al-Qaeda. Iran's government mistakenly thought that Jones was an actual spy and imprisoned Bahari. Jon Stewart's movie "Rosewater" was about this.
ahinz2000 This movie is very cute. I wish the script had been better. Sofia is very talented. She is 10 now, she was 9 when it was filmed. Julie Andrews mentioned this in an interview the day the movie originally aired.
bettiem My children enjoyed the Eloise books many years ago - now my grandchildren have fun with the little tyrant of the Plaza. We love New York, and saw a lot of it in this movie. We love "The Little Prince" and were thrilled by the way it was worked into the plot. Every single character from the room service waiter to the carriage driver to the harried manager to the Yale student tutor to the young debutante and her mother, snobbish Mrs. Daniels to the chef to the main character was marvelous. Each one seemed made for the part. Julie Andrews as Nannie was so easy to identify with, and Eloise - what a wonderful six year old. She should be another Shirley Temple or more. My personal favorite was the son of the Prince. I could identify with his pain as well as his courage to test the New York waters, led magnificently by the naughty but nice Eloise. The plot is not only humorous but also profound. This is a childrens' an adults' and seniors' movie. I will never again walk into the marvelous Plaza Hotel at 59th and Central Park South without thinking of precious and precocious Eloise. Disney take note, I would love a sequel.
emisue02 I watched this movie on TV last night and thought it was adorable. Julie Andrews (my all-time fav) was great in her well-done switch from her usual elegant, classy English lady to the cockney Nanny. Eloise got on my nerves a little bit because she was so overly-dramatic, but that's how she's supposed to be, and I'm sure I came across the same way when I was 6. All in all, I'd say it was just an adorable movie, and I can't wait to see the next one this holiday season.
