LizzieMaine,
I could not agree more ... and great comments on the lounge lizard. Heavens, I laughed my behind off on that one. I really thought Judi Dench would have been a much better cast for Queen Elizabeth as the name still rings authentic from MRS BROWN.
As brilliant as Dame Judi Dench is, i'm not sure she could play the part of a Queen Elizabeth in her thirties convincingly.
I thought the film uniformly superb, nice to Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth together again, albeit in a rather small way.
