Julie Andrews, Sofia Vassilieva, Kenneth Welsh

It's tinsel and holly and "fa la la lolly" when Eloise lends her unique brand of holiday spirit to this made-for-television movie inspired by Kay Thompson's book of the same name.

In the days before Christmas, Eloise learns that Rachel (Sara Topham), the daughter of Plaza owner Mr. Peabody, is returning after a long absence to marry mystery man Brooks Oliver. Eloise insists on helping with the Yuletide nuptials while plotting a matchmaking scheme of her own--to find true love for her best pal Bill (Gavin Creel), a free-spirited hotel waiter. Meanwhile, Eloise keeps busy sprinkling holiday mirth on everyone, including her beloved Nanny, played "rawther" marvelously by Julie Andrews. Whereas Eloise at the Plaza portrays the precocious 6-year-old as mostly mischievous, this film showcases her compassionate side which, together with the strong ensemble cast, offers plenty of Christmas cheer. Watch for the sizzling chemistry and musical talents of Topham and Creel. (Ages 5 and older) --Lynn Gibson

    An annoying six year old girl farts about a hotel sticking her nose in everyone's business. She is best friends with a weird, older waiter guy who unfortunately does not turn out to be a child murderer in a third act twist. All fluffy and lovely it also has Julie Andrews doing on...( read more)e of the worst "Cor Blimey" cockney accents ever seen on film.

    What a spoilt little brat Eloise is, but her heart seems to be at the right place during christmas time, An enjoyable enough movie during the festive time.

    While Eloise is a brat in my opinion, this was a fun film to see. I enjoyed seeing Andrews play again, and the secondary story-line between the young couple was a cute addition to the tale. Takes place in a big city and isn't a bad way to spend a Christmasy evening.
