A Royal Yawn

Rating: 3/10 (5 February 2007)

It's up for the best film of 2006 and Helen Mirren for Best Actress? Give me a break! Mirren should be up for the one actress who most resembles Queen Elizabeth II and that's it. The film? So slow moving it's hard to stay awake. I'll tell you who deserved an Oscar nom for that film...Michael Sheen playing P.M.Tony Blair. A rock solid performance all the way and the resemblance was astounding. The man who saved the monarchy for sure and the man who stopped me from dozing off completely.
Poor Diana...what she had to go through. Being part of the Adams family with crowns. Being the wife of a philandering louse, Prince Charles,while bearing him two wonderful sons. Who can blame the Princess for divorcing him and moving on versus a shattered unappreciated existence at Buckingham Palace? After watching this film, I no longer ascribe to the motto "God Save the Queen." It became "God Save the Viewer."
