Reviewer notes

Recommended
Based on Eloise, the children's book, the film has a fantastic cast such as Julie Andrews and Christine Baranski,and Sofia Vassilieva as the main character. The illustrator of the original book, Hilary Knight has a cameo as a street artist. It should please children of all ages.
