And even better if you are a Julie Andrews fan! Or just a hopeless romantic! This was introduced to me by my niece and I am so glad to have it as a Christmas tradition now! It is such a boost during my the Holidays! My favorite to watch while wrapping gifts! Eloise is an inspiration for trying to make Christmas a magical holiday for all! Believing when challenges present themselves and still rooting for those around her. That they make you provide sooooo many characters just to review this movie is insane. I still have 87 to go! I really like this movie! I, as a Julie Andrews/Edwards fan, was very surprised I didn't know about it earlier! If you haven't read her books?! I reallly recommend "The last of the really great Whangdoodles"!!! It is one of my all time favorite books! After so many characters together, I feel we know each other and truly wish you the best in life!!!!!

The little actress who portayed Eloise was absolutely spot-on. Other comments about the previous movie, _Eloise at the Plaza_, said the movie did not do
justice to the book. Because there was no boredom or inactivity in this movie, I can understand the point, but the plot of the movie is really incidental. It is a portrayal of the adaptation of an imaginative, energetic, and loving six-year-old to the straitlaced circumstances in which she finds herself, just as the book is, and it is delightful.
It was great to see Julie Andrews play against type, but we still saw that upper crust peeking through. Jeffrey Tambor was fine. However, for the most part,
secondary characters were too broad for adult moviegoers.
Other Disney movies with constant action and shallow characterization leave
me cold, but I will happily watch any others in this series.

This movie is a very cute movie, I've watched it every holiday since it came out. My cousins and I love sitting around watching and enjoying how cute the movie is. I think that Eloise is a very cute character, and I don't think she's a "horrible role model" for children, she's smart, outgoing, funny, and sees what others do not. I think she doesn't always follow the rules, but life's rules are meant to be broken. I am sure that tons of little children will enjoy watching this cute holiday movie.
The movie is all about this young girl who is trying to get her friend to marry his true love, the daughter of the hotel owner. The movie shows the sneaky Eloise preparing for the holiday and trying to help the people in the hotel that she cares about. It's a very cute movie that always puts a smile on my face. I think it's pretty funny and it is not extremely corny.

Well, my my, isn't this little rascal Eloise a doggone delight? This is a charming little TV movie that fully utilizes the tropes of kid movies, rom-coms and Christmas stories with enough sweetness and fun to more than forgive the corny predictability. Favorite part (and there were lots of good ones): the old British couple watching Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and remarking, "What a marvelous rendition, don't you think?"
This is a delightfully charming movie, with a shining young star. Sofia Vassilieva is an extremely energetic young actress, who certainly has captured the spirit of Kay Thompson's, Eloise. She held her own with Julie Andrews, who is wonderful as her Nanny. Much like an older and more exhausted Maria Von Trapp. Christine Baranski proves to be delicious in what could have been a two dimensional character role. She makes Prunella a woman you love to hate. Seeing Corinne Conley as Mrs. Thornton was very enjoyable. I first became fascinated with her in Days of Our Lives and I have loved watching her since. The only flaw to the film is it's exhausting pace. Eloise flits from one thought or deed to the next with such alarming rapidity that I wanted to spike her eggnog with Prozac.
