http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/22/Miss-Potter--Not-a-Bad-Way-to-Pass-the.aspx Just give me a good love story, English accents, costumes and a cup of tea, and I&rsquo;m done for the night. MISS POTTER, which has all of these, fits the bill perfectly. &nbsp;&nbsp; The plot doesn&rsquo;t make you try too hard to understand what&rsquo;s going on. Instead, the film gently tugs you along, like a soft ocean current, through Victorian parlors, lovely old train stations and the beautiful English countryside known as the Lake District. Before you know it, you are sucked in to the pretty, true-life story of the author Beatrix Potter. It&rsquo;s the kind of film you want to catch on a cold evening when there is nothing else on; the kind of film that surprises you. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s much better then I thought it would be,&rdquo; you&rsquo;ll say to yourself. &nbsp;&nbsp; Beatrix Potter is deserving of a biopic because she wrote and illustrated &ldquo;The Tale of Peter Rabbit,&rdquo; one of the greatest children&rsquo;s books of all time. And, it is lovely that the story of the publishing of the book is also a love story. After many rejections, Potter sells the book to the Warne Brothers' publishing house. They agree to publish it only so that they can give their silly younger brother, Norman, something to do.

I would be done too. Done watching movies for the night.

The storyline was very well done and kept my interest. It was definitely a chick flick but it was very good.
