Amusing, but flawed

Yes it was a little bit fun, but highly flawed. I counted three out-loud laughs as I watched this, which should probably get it a better rating from me. There was a lot of professionalism in the cast, particularly Peter O'Toole, who cannot do bad acting. This was clearly designed to be a vehicle for John Goodman, and I suppose it was successful enough at it. He is funny, and he is good. I quite liked Camille Coduri, with whom I was unfamiliar. She apparently has had quite a career in England. Too bad I haven't seen more of her. And please, don't comment on plot holes! This just isn't the sort of movie where that's relevant.

A good idea turned into a slightly-above-average movie.

When the entire British royal family is wiped out in an "awful" accident, the American bar entertainer Ralph Jones (excellent: John Goodman, he makes up for most of the boring parts of the plot) becomes the new King of England. After a few adjustment problems with his new job (clothing, manners etc.) he falls in love with a young woman he meets at a local strip club. Problems emerge when his secretary tries to marry him to the Finnish princess to seal a business deal for a few English companies. All in all, a good movie with some great lines but also some boring parts.
