Highly Overrated But Still Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Delightful movie ..leaves you wanting to see more of the misadventures of Eloise. I am so disappointed that there are only 2 Eloise movies . That child who plays Elioise (Sofia Vassilieva) is so delightful. It's definitely a movie to share with Grandma. Julie Andrews and Sofia Vassilieva together are like peanut butter and jelly. This character should be a role model for little girls as she has the wholesome charm I want my granddaughter to have. This charming story is fast paced and has humor to keep both children and adults entertained. I want to see more more Eloise!!! The whole family will want to see more of the adventures of Eloise

This 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

I finished watching this really cute comedy about a six-year-old girl who lives at a 5 star plaza and causes havoc. It's very warm-hearted, and people who love the Eloise books will love this movie. I can't wait until next Sunday, Eloise at Christmastime is on. Sofia Vassilieva is charmingly funny, REALLY cute and is a great lil' actress, the part of Eloise fits her like a glove. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us. Sofia's spunky and brilliant, she's a great actress for her age, maybe the future of Hollywood. Eloise is just a little girl, trying to get people to notice her in bad and good ways. She wants to go to the Debutante Ball but has no one to take her. When she overhears someone saying that a prince is coming to stay at the plaza, she immidiately wants the prince to take her to the ball. When she stumbles across a 9-year-old boy, who IS the prince but Eloise doesn't know it until the end, she asks him to help her look for him. Eloise also takes him around New York and they have all kinds of fun. Somewhat unrealistic, I know, but adorable none the less. This should definetly get a higher ranking then 4.9. It should at least get a 6.7. If you haven't seen it, please do, you won't be dissapointed.

I know this sounds silly but after watching "Eloise at the Plaza" I really wished Disney could finish the making of ALL four Eloise movies in just ONE year, so that Sofia Vassilieva would stay the same all along -- I mean, this fun-loving six-year-old girl hopping around New York City for all kinds of adventures... Of course they can always have Julie Andrews come back as the "rawther" wonderful Nanny, and Jeffrey Tambor as the "definitely glass half-empty type" Mr. Salamone, even Weenie the dog and Skipperdee the turtle -- these characters would still look the same. But Sofia is growing up (she was nine when this one was filmed, and by the time the next sequel -- Eloise at Christmastime -- is released she would be eleven already.) Oh well.... why don't I just settle for the joy of the present and savour every delightful minute this movie has to offer. If "The Little Prince" is an all-time beloved story for children and grown-ups alike, I believe "Eloise at the Plaza" will become a classic family movie that never ceases to bring a lot of laughters (and tears) to people who cherish life and each other.
