Well, in this movie, we DO NOT see Julia Roberts hanging off Hugh Grant and making the audience squirm. She does well in this comedy role of the Queen who refuses to grow old gracefully, and most of the laughs in this film come from her. The most annoying character award goes to the Prince. He's flat, boring and doesn't really do much apart from get his abs out (not that I'm complaining as they are pretty good abs).But to give Arm and Hammer his due the script didn't really give him much to work with. All in all a pretty good movie. It's one the kids can watch as well the adults for laughs. The visuals are stunning, (watch out for the weird stilt things) and as far as I'm concerned the costumes should be in the Oscar mix for next year. The only annoying thing is the weird musical number slapped in at the end. I know the director is drawing on his Bollywood roots, but it left me wishing I'd left the cinema two minutes early. I'd implore you to do the same. Its awkward, out of place and suddenly it was like I was watching the Guru and we know how bad that movie was!
