Piccadilly Jim

Piccadilly Jim is a charming and witty romantic comedy set in the 1930s, based on the novel by P.G. Wodehouse. The movie features an all-star cast, including Sam Rockwell as the title character, Frances O'Connor as his love interest, and Tom Wilkinson as his father.

The movie follows the misadventures of James 'Jim' Crocker, also known as Piccadilly Jim, a carefree young man who spends his days writing popular pulp fiction novels in New York City. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he is asked by his estranged father to return to his hometown of London and convince his wayward sister, Ann, to return home and marry an acceptable suitor.

Upon his arrival in England, Jim finds himself embroiled in a series of hilarious and often ridiculous situations, as he tries to balance his familial duties with his own desires. He soon becomes romantically involved with Ann's best friend, Eugenia, a beautiful and headstrong American journalist, who is covering the high society events in London.

As Jim tries to navigate the complex social landscape of London's upper crust, he must also contend with his father's disapproval of his lifestyle and his sister's stubbornness. Along the way, there are plenty of misunderstandings, mistaken identities and classic Wodehouse-style shenanigans that keep the audience laughing throughout.

Sam Rockwell delivers a standout performance as Jim, capturing his carefree spirit and charming wit with ease. Frances O'Connor shines as Eugenia, the sharp-tongued and independent American journalist who captures Jim's heart.
