Customer Reviews: Very funny, light hearted comedy, fun for all the family January 25, 2002 3 out of 3 found this review helpful When a fatal accident kills of the Queen and all the heirs to the throne, drastic measures are taken to find the closest relative of the royal family, to sit on the throne and rule England. Up steps Ralph, an american slouch who isn't the brightest bulb in the house but never the less, he is the closest relative to the queen alive and so this is where the fun starts. Ralph goes through a lot of changes and with a romance story thrown in for the ladies this is a film to sit in on a saturday night with. Outrageously funny! January 6, 2004 Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful When the British royal family (yes, every one of them!) is wiped out in a tragic photography accident, the hunt is on for an heir to the throne. Unfortunately for Britain, when one is found it turns out to be Ralph Jones (played by John Goodman), an American lounge singer from far over the wrong side of the tracks. As Lord Percival Graves (John Hurt) schemes to dethrone Ralph I, Fredrick Willingham (Peter O'Toole) works feverishly to keep Jones' feet on the straight and narrow. [Color, created in 1991, with a running time of 1 hour, 36 minutes.]pAs you can tell from the summary above, this is not a movie to be taken seriously! It is outrageously funny, being both outrageous and funny. The downside is that there is one scene where Ralph goes to a strip club, and several women are seen in less than family-oriented clothing (there's a joke in there somewhere). So, if you have young children, like me, then you will need to hit stop, and fast-forward past the offending scene, as it is too long to simply cue through.pThat said, though, for adult viewing, this is a great movie! It has a wonderful, heart-warming message, and is funny without much swearing or any violence. I highly recommend this movie.
