Movie Review

Grade: B In many ways, Frances McDormand and Amy Adams are on far end of the spectrums when it comes to the way they act and the characters they play. McDormand is best known for playing scruffy, frizzy and unglamorous roles, while Adams tends to play characters with princess syndrome. So, when the two team up in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, they come off as one of the oddest, yet strangely enjoyable, on-screen couplings in recent memory.
