Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris

Delightful movie with the wrong name. That's really the only reason I can see is hasn't done better, and the title is from the book. Book titles often struggle in the film industry, seems anyway. So Mrs Harris makes a hoopla in Dior. Mrs Harris begins a new. Mrs Harris finds herself, and helps a lot of other people find themselves along the way. Heartfelt, wann and mostly upbeat about a woman who the last 12 years seemed to have forgotten. Or perhaps she had forgot herself until a chance word by someone that is mothering an ahole makes her dream of something new, not necessarily better, but new, revived, a goal. It is also close to my heart as people say all the time what others can't do, and she of course comes across the naysayers as the film progresses, but ah how wonderfully she just enjoys the experience. 9.8/10. A couple places could've been better, but it's a truly great film.

It's a fun adorable movie. There are solid themes and motifs surrounding a story that admittedly isn't all too fresh. But the right packaging can make sunday dinner taste like a one star meal. This isn't the great movie of all time or even really award worthy. But it is effective without being preachy. Enjoyable without being overly saccharine.
