Eloise at the Plaza Movie Review 2003

Hyperactive adaptation of the first of Kay Thompsn's books about six-year-old enfant terrible Eloise (Vassilieva), who lives with her mother at the Plaza Hotel in New York. Mom is away in Paris, so it's up to Nanny (Andrews) to try to reign in her charge's exuberant behavior and frequently disastrous schemes. This time Eloise is determined to attend the prestigious Debutante's Ball that is being held at the Plaza, despite her age (and the lack of an invitation).
