Movie #3352 ........................."Eloise at Christmastime" (DVD)

Movie #3352 "Eloise  at Christmastime" (DVD)  I had never seen this film so when offered the opportunity, I took it , and I'm so glad I did.  What a fun watch for me.  I loved Julie Andrews playing a part so different from Mary Poppins (I hardly recognized her at first), and the little girl playing Eloise takes some getting used to but after a while, she was a pleasure to watch.  And then there was Gavin Creel --- beloved Gavin Creel, who went on to do wondrous things on Broadway before his early death this past year --- what a loss!  The singing he does with Eloise (while playing a mean piano) it a delight on its own and worth the watch.  I loved the story, too.  I'd give it a 4.8 , and I'm prompted from watching this one, to see the other Eloise films some day.  Much fun!

"ELOISE AT CHRISTMASTIME"     1 hour and 29 mins.      2003         A 6-year-old girl tries to reunite a young woman with a former boyfriend before she marries another.
