Miss Potter
My soft spot for this one is that I love Beatrix Potter's books. And I'm heading to the English Lake District this year on vacation…hoping I will love it as much as I think I will. Aside from that, is this an accurate film of Potter's life? Um, not by a long shot. But, it is a charming, sweet film that, on its own, stands as a wonderful love story. Renee Zellweger again (as she does in the Bridget Jones movies) plays a great Brit -- aside from perfecting the accent, she has the slightly aloof manner down pat. Here, she plays Potter as a woman ahead of her time…independent, aggressive, disobedient and defiant. If you're looking for a film to watch with the whole family, look no further. If you're looking to write a biographical report on Beatrix Potter, keep looking.
