La señora Harris va a París

Incredibly charming, kind, and warm film.

In modern cinematography, we rarely meet films such as this one.

The story is about a kind and honest woman who, despite everything, went toward her dream and desire. No matter what troubles and obstacles she encountered on her way, she always found a way to fix everything.

In that case, then what is special about such a banal story? Why does it deserve a high rating?

Its purity and light.

This film will make you cry, smile, rejoice, get angry, and mourn along with the main character.

Even though this is a good fairy tale, and this happens very rarely in life, this film can just be a reminder that we must believe in good fairy tales, and sometimes create them on our own. Then in our hearts, there will be a place for a miracle.

If you come in expecting to be told a fairytale, you will not be disappointed. It is a well-executed fairytale meant to teach morals as opposed to be realistic. It's 'Cinderella' meets 'The Devil Wears Prada' meets 'Pretty Woman' with a dash of 'The Phantom of the Open'.

Above all: this film is a chocolate chip cookie. We all know what goes into a chocolate chip cookie and we all recognize how one should taste. Despite the familiarity, a chocolate chip cookie done well remains a treat.

It fills the role of a nice, funny, feel good movie. Made me smile, and my grandma even more. The acting was on point and the dresses were fabulous, of course.

Mrs. Harris is maybe not the hero we deserve, but the one we need. Everywhere she goes, her kindness spreads like an infectious disease; I'm pretty sure a bit spilled out of the screen and got some of us in the audience. She handles life with such an authenticity, It's marvelous, refreshing.

There's nothing too unexpected about this film, but certainly not a waste of time. The world needs to go see Mrs Harris!

What a great little film - albeit more of a woman's picture, but still it has all the elements that are missing in so many films today. Mrs. Harris is a real person - she has optimism; she's older; she has a brain and knows how to use it AND she has heart and soul. She has a dream to own haute couture and goes about making that dream happen. Along the way she meets, befriends and wins over a variety of characters. This is like a kinder, gentler version of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. The writing is kind and sweet - nothing that is far out; nothing that would contain any great surprises - its just a sweet little story. Leslie Manville is perfect as Mrs. Harris - you wouldn't mind if she were your mother or grandmother and for all her good-heartedness, you want her to be rewarded. You're not bowled over with $100MM worth of special effects - this is just something to sit back, relax and enjoy. That's why it only made $31MM instead of $500MM. Bravo to Focus pictures.
