In the language of Eloise, this movie is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Julie Andrews and Sofia Vassilieva are perfectly cast, as is everyone else in this movie. Eloise is a rambunctious little girl who wants to go to the débutante ball as her mother (who is in Paris) did – but just for practice since she is only six. Along the way, she causes a bit of trouble for the serious people trying to flawlessly run this five-star hotel. Eloise is bright, funny, and very entertaining. She does “need” to have one “yelling fit,” which she explains was necessary to get her mission done. She is very caring toward people, but her personality is impatient with those who ignore her or try to make her do what she doesn’t set out to do. This movie is great for those who loved the book, and also great for those who want to discover the book!
