Maid to Order

About This Movie

Maid to Order is this quirky blend of comedy and fantasy that dives into the woes of privilege through Jessie Montgomery's chaotic life. Jessie, played by a charmingly spoiled Jennifer Jason Leigh, is quite the handful for her father, Charles, who's portrayed with just the right amount of exasperation. The fairy godmother angle, brought to life by the delightful Beverly D'Angelo, adds a whimsical flair that shifts the plot into unexpected territory. The pacing has its ebbs and flows, fluctuating between laugh-out-loud moments and some introspective themes around family and responsibility. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have this endearing charm that complements the lighthearted spirit. It's a curious film that really captures the spirit of late '80s comedies, with a sprinkle of fantasy that sets it apart from the usual fare.
