A League of Mullets Movie Review

Yo, we watched The Queen and here is our review:

This film is about the fall out over the lack of response from the royal family in the aftermath of the death of Princess Diana. It goes inside the palaces of the British royals and inside the home of then newly elected Prime Minister Tony Blair.

It's a well made, well acted, and well directed film all around. Stephen Frears is one of our favorite directors and his sure directing hand shows all over this fine movie.

Helen Mirren is a standout, she won the Oscar and the UK equivalent of the Oscar for her great performance, in this film. We admit it, we've got a crush on Helen and so does Dr. Monkey, although he's dug her for a lot longer than we have because he is so much older than us. (Watch it you mulletheaded bastards, I'm not that much older than you.) The pain over losing someone in her family and the restrictions of duty all can be seen in Mirren's face in her performance. It's truly heart wrenching at times, especially when the little girl hands the Queen her little bouquet of flowers. Some of us almost shed a tear but then when we saw them about to cry we punched them in the arm, tossed them another can of Pabst Blue Ribbon, and engaged them in vaguely homo-erotic banter.

James Cromwell is also a standout in this film. He plays Prince Phillip, the Queen's husband. He represents the old England and it's old ways of bottling up ones emotions.

Another interesting aspect of this film is it's portrayal of Tony Blair. It's hard to remember a time when Blair wasn't thought of a Bush's butt sniffing poodle. It was nice to see the old Blair in this film. You remember the old Blair, the one who was going to move Britain forward and out of the old days, the one who people believed in, the one who stood for good and not for mindless war. We miss that old Blair and seeing the guy portray him in The Queen made us miss him all the more. Tony, we hardly knew ye. See we can speak all British. (You idiots, no one can hear you, this is all written down not recorded.)

Oh. Well anyways, we really liked this movie, more than we thought we would and we encourage you all to see it as well. And while we're at it, we encourage you to see any Helen Mirren movie, especially the ones where she is nude. Dr. Monkey, are we sick or something, she's old enough to be our grandmother and here we are telling people to go see her movies where she's naked. (No, you're not sick guys, a beautiful woman is beautiful at any age and Ms. Mirren did make a shit load of movies where she shows a bunch of skin. So what if she's a GILF to you mulletheaded dopes, enjoy beauty where ever you find it.)

Okay, go see this flick. Rent it, buy it, whatever. We dug it.

So say us! So Say we all!!!!!
