This movie, while very cute, deals with wholly "who is cheating on whom, and who is sleeping with whom". Unless you want to see male nudity a couple times, don't watch it. (Of course, it is a sweet movie)

What Parents Need to Know
About Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
Parents need to know that this is essentially a feel-good fairy tale, albeit one with adult overtones. There's some partial nudity -- Amy Adams parades around in one scene with nothing but a towel covering her front, for example -- and a handful of innuendoes. The plot is fairly mature, too, in that it's about a woman who craves stardom and will do everything -- including bed a producer -- to achieve it, even if it means losing the one man who's right for her. But there's no swearing except for "damn," and the smoking and social drinking are accurate for the late-'30s setting. And the movie approaches its heavier topics with a delightfully light touch, ultimately sending a positive, life-affirming message.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what drives Delysia to succeed. Do you see any parallels between her situation and that of today's aspiring media stars? Why are people willing to make sacrifices to be famous? Families can also discuss why Miss Pettigrew has such an effect on Delysia. What effect does she have on Miss Pettigrew? In the movie, they both undergo an overnight change; is that believable? If not, does it matter? What do they learn from each other?

Very fun and Witty, an enjoyable movie for the whole family
Perfect for a family with teenage kids who want to see a kind of movie Hollywood doesn't hold very much these days. Two thumbs up, and five stars across. I really recommend it.

Entertaining period piece with a message
This movie is a little slow to get going and is largely made up of fluff more than substance, but it is enjoyable and shows its depth with time. There is a bit more sexual innuendo than I would have liked for my 13 yr old, but nothing gets graphic. Overall more of an adult film, but my daughter enjoyed it (perhaps, mainly because of the preence of Amy Adams)
