Summary: So cute!
Review: One night I was absentmindedly channel surfing and came upon Eloise at Christmastime on ABC. I'd heard of the books growing up, but never read one myself for whatever reason. After watching just two minutes of this movie, I was sucked in for the next two hours. I'm eighteen, done highschool and moving on in life but OH how Eloise fills you up with that childhood inspiration. Where the world is your playground, everything is possible, there is never a dark cloud. The next day I purchased Eloise at the Plaza and rushed home to watch it and, not surprisingly, fell in love. The actress cast as Eloise is irresistably cute and with all honesty, I could watch this movie and this movie alone every night for the rest of my life. Buy it for your children, or watch it on a rainy day.

Summary: Amazing Film Version
Review: Six-year-old Eloise (Sofia Vassilieva), is a crazy, fun-loving, curious little girl living in New York's fabulous Plaza Hotel, who manages to find mystery, mayhem, and adventure, no matter where she goes, while her wonderful Nanny (Julie Andrews) chases her all over the place. And, in ELOISE AT THE PLAZA, Eloise sure does get into a lot of mischief. She's trying to wrangle herself an invitation to New York's biggest society event of the season, the Debutante ball, searching for a Prince who is supposedly staying at the Plaza, and playing matchmaker for Nanny, who just happens to have a secret crush on a certain Lord living at the hotel.With appearances by Jeffrey Tambor, playing a fantastically neurotic Mr. Salamone, Hilary Knight, the original artist who illustrated all of the ELOISE books, and a dog and turtle, playing Skipperdee and Weenie, who couldn't be more precious, ELOISE AT THE PLAZA is sure to please even the most cold-hearted person. A must-have for all. You won't be disappointed. Erika Sorocco

Summary: A movie I will enjoy watching with my daughter time & again!
Review: This is a great movie for children and adults alike. Eloise has a little something to offer for children (free-spiritedness and creativity) and adults (a message about listening and opening your heart while speaking your mind) - and a fun way of delivering it! I have always adored Kay Thompson's Eloise character - with her messy hair and silly antics and wild energy! Seeing her come to life through Sofia Vassilieva was a pure joy! Julie Andrews is fantastic as "Nanny"! To be honest, I can't think of a single flaw in this fun little film. It is my 5-year-old daughter's new favorite - and I'm happy to watch it with her over and over again. Eloise is not a perfectly well-behaved princess - but what little girl really IS? I don't think a discussion of role models is even appropriate in the realm of entertainment - if you're looking for role models, read to your children and BE their role model. Eloise is fun and full of life and spirit - and if we all absorb even a fraction of her energy and creativity we'll be better off for it. I hope my daughter is as free-spirited and expressive at age 6 as the fun-loving Eloise - that would prove to me that I am allowing her to be a child in every way possible! What could be better than that?

Summary: Find a child counselor before viewing Eloise
Review: This is the sort of child targeted entertainment you don't want your kid to watch without close parental supervision. There are too few positive role models for our children today and Eloise simply compounds the problem. Most children can not fully separate themselves from the fictional portrayals of peers, and often adopt character personalities through repeated exposure. Eloise's character exacerbates the problem by compounding the behaivoral traits of an overly spoiled child with a wanton disregard for authority. With proper parent/child conversation after watching this movie this can be a valuable lesson and aid in developing a positive attitude towards a child's own current socio-economic status. Most parents will not do this and few can afford the child psychology bills that will help their child later in life when these seeds of discontent blossom during adolesence into a general disrespect for social norms and values. Eloise will never age. She has no peers. She will not develop through life and take on responsibility as an adult. She will remain in her room, spouting nosense, without respect or civilty for those she views as peers or pissants. Please think twice before pressing play and leaving your child alone in the room with this trully rotten character model. *Please note: there is no rating available on Amazon for Zero stars....however this title proves the need for such a rating.

Summary: How many ways can you watch Eloise....let's count
Review: Twice on Monday, Three times on Tuesday, Once on Wednesday, ....
My girls consistently ask to watch this movie over and over and over again. The precocious little blonde girl keeps them laughing and pretending. I have to chuckle to myself when I hear my three year tell me..."It's absolutely dreadful" in the best accent she can muster.

Summary: I loved this movie!
Review: When I was little, I loved the Eloise books. When I saw that a movie was being made, I was really excited. I made sure to tape it and have watched it many times, but the quality is, of course, not as good as the DVD will be- so I am going to buy the DVD! The casting in this movie is really good- Sofia and Julie Andrews are wonderful.
