One of my all time favorites.
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

View MoreOnce again Hollywood and the new "Disney" have ruined another classic. The beauty of Eloise was her innocence and ability to creatively entertain herself living sans parents at The Plaza under the sometimes watchful eye of her Nanny and the hotel's staff.Apparently the more obnoxious the better, after all she is now a role model for millions of spoiled little brats living dysfunctional lives with their disinterested parents.The original version of the book that became the basis for this horrible movie was intentionally withheld by Kay Thompson back in the early '60s because she felt that "Eloise" was also for a adults. This movie "Eloise" is more akin to the Hilton sisters type of behavior.Mr. Salomone in real life was a class act and a handsome gentleman, not the bald headed neurotic ass portrayed in this take.Maybe at some point, the real "Eloise" be portrayed in another version, one that will have the charm that these characters deserve.
View MoreI have enjoyed many movies featuring USA children actors. Jackie Coogan and Shirley Temple were wonderful. I consider the Hal Roach (Our Gang ) to be classics and I have re-run many of of them with increased delight. I even laugh at many of the antics of Denis the menace. Hovever I started to shudder after the first few minutes of watching Eloise.. This is the most obnoxious brat of a child that I have seen in a movie. Surely, it is the patriotic duty for Hollywood to present a true picture of American family life and not this fiction drivel. I is not many years ago, when the major Hollywood studios had high standards and a film like Eloise in the Plaza would not have seen the light of day.
View MoreThis movie is fantastique! Sofia Vassilieva has got to be the most talented little actress I have ever seen! I cracked up whenever she said:NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" She has the most brattiest little voice!To those who want to know if it's good or not: It's excellent; go buy the video! It can get a little boring after seeing it over and over, but it's definitely worth seeing!10/10
View MoreAs a lover of the original Eloise books I can honestly say that making a movie out of it was a huge mistake. The charm of the Eloise books is her unique imagination but also the fact that she spends he time alone and bored in a big hotel. The addition of the extra characters completely ruined the entire book and it seems foolish that the amazing Eloise books are associated with this movie.
