Costumes were lovely but script beyond awful

Rating: 1/10 (13 December 2007)

We have a saying about mediocre movies, "At least it was better than Borat." Not this one. I was astounded at how many quality actors, designers and cinema professionals could be sucked into this piece of total junk. There was no script. The dialogue was too stupid to even be funny. Scenes seemed to be in random order. What little plot there was, was laughable. It was like amateur night at the improv bar. I've listened to drunken karaoke that was less offensive. I think the costumes were left over from the first Elizabeth movie, so they had to shoot them and pretend there was a story surrounding it. Honestly, I think high school students could have created a better product with little or no knowledge of British history or film-making. It was a train wreck. I would have walked out, but I was so shocked at how it got worse and worse, my legs would not hold me. I feel sorry for everyone connected with it.
