I'm into history and this is one of my favorite eras. Although this movie is hardly historically accurate, nor does it try to be, it does achieve the stereotype of British royalty wannabees, which I find delightful.
I don't care for the rock music in the movie at all, I love rock music but it does have it's place. The music does make an effort to reach viewers who might otherwise not be interested in movies with an historic aspect.
Heath Ledger and Alan Tudyk are both quite handsome, good choices for the leads. Together with diverse actor Mark Addy they make a most believable team, all three filled with interesting personalities and character.
I understand that this was not supposed to be an historic fashion statement, but Jocelyn's clothes fell short of looking even remotely period, more like out of place. I preferred the worn out rags on the men to the fancy 1960s looking elegant fashionwear.
Rufus Sewell played the antagonist quite well, regal and handsome, delightfully evil, yet had to be shown his place.
I find this movie fun to watch, and in spite of it's drawbacks I keep coming back for more!
