“Miss Potter” isn’t a particularly good movie that can leave you a little dry but it has enough quirky charm to it to get my recommendation.

“Miss Potter” tells the story of the beloved British children’s author Beatrix Potter (Renée Zellweger “Jerry Maguire”, “Chicago”). We follow the not very fascinating story of how Beatrix gets her wonderful books including “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” published with the help of publisher Norman Warne (Ewan McGregor “Trainspotting”, “Big Fish”). With the help of some great animation that occurs when Beatrix imagines the adventure of the characters she has created the movie manages to hold your interest for when you get some intriguing facts about her life.

Renée Zellweger is okay as Beatrix Potter. Beatrix Potter did not live a fascinating life like fellow British children’s author Roald Dahl (“Matilda”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”), this makes the movie not exceptionally interesting and it doesn’t help the performances aren’t fantastic. Ewan McGregor is alright as Norman Warne. The interaction between the two is quite stale to say the least. The other characters in the film didn’t hold my interest much either but I was amazed by the wonderfulness of when you see images of Peter Rabbit move around and only Beatrix can see this happen.

“Miss Potter” succeeds in doing what it sets out to do via being charming and innocent so that you can’t really judge it too harshly. You can bash certain technical aspects such as the weak script but you can also praise it for having one or two amusing moments that give the film a nice vibe that you don’t get in a lot of films. If you’re in the mood for a pleasantly quiet film that doesn’t feature big explosions or a complex story than “Miss Potter” is a good choice and just except it for what it is.
