InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

juliannetennyson Brilliantly trenchant comedic rendition of the very real foibles of the direly flawed Royal Family. This show provides a cutting critique of the Royal Family and does so with great panache. As the show repeatedly demonstrates, the sad truth is that the Royal Family are a group of (originally German and not British) parasites leaching off the tax-paying British public. The show displays clearly how the Royal Family have no use and have not done anything of service to Britain or the world in the last 100 years. The Royal Family are to cite the show 'over-privileged wankers' whose only main concern is that the British public: pay for their lavish lifestyle, acknowledge their supposed superiority (even though they are all completely braindead idiots) and, to again cite the series 'show loyalty to the crown'. The only member of the Royal Family who has ever worked a day in his life is Andrew, who is an International Arms Dealer, and the show portrays Andrew and his rapport with his ex-wife, Fergie brilliantly; she is desperate to get back in with the Royals but also strapped for cash and ready to sell her body for any sum. The rest of the Royal Family are depicted in the show exactly as they truly are: effete, vain, idiots who spend their days boozing, on expensive holidays or pursuing useless, insipid, stupid, expensive vanity projects or attempting to manipulate the press to prove their sham of grandeur. This show demonstrates that you do not need fiction when you have fact and that sometimes comedy can comprise a vital means to criticise outdated social institutions effectively. The show cleverly takes real events concerning the Royal Family and allows for their comedic consumption by the public, revealing how flawed each member of the Royal Family is and the show does so to great comedic value: like Harry being a boozy, profligate idiot, William being a well-meaning but ineffectual, bumbling idiot, or Prince Charles a vainglorious, weak-willed excuse of a man whose only dream is to be king. Although the British Royal Family are an absolute disgrace, a superannuated hangover of a time that is long past, and nothing for a Brit to be proud of, this show manages to tell the truth about every single useless member of it whilst rendering it hilarious. Finally the British Royal Family are useful for something: having a laugh at. I am impressed with the writers and producers of this show who dared to show what a shambolic mess of vain, spoiled, stupid people the Royal Family consist of.

Michellemybell1 It's been a long time since I've laughed as loud and as often as I did at this show. The caricatures of the royals were spot on, taking their foibles (as we all have) and stretching them into comic gold. It got to the point that all Fergie and her girls would have to do is appear on the screen, and I would laugh, knowing I would have a good time. The show is not perfect, but there's enough good stuff that I could coast through the parts that weren't, knowing a clever/funny scene was around the bend. ERII, Prince Phillip, and the Cambridge kids' characters didn't appear on screen, but Phillip's curmudgeonly ways were represented in other ways, to great comic effect.

MartinHafer As an American, I have no idea how this series was embraced in the UK...but I would imagine that MANY folks were offended by it. After all, the show pretty much makes the British royals look like complete idiots...at best!The show highlights the private lives of the royal family--specifically SOME members of the royal family. While Elizabeth and Philip are barely seen, the show has so far focused mostly on Charles, Camilla, Harry and WIlliam. In this crazy re-imagining of them, Charles is a complete idiot, Camilla is essentially Cruella de Ville, Harry is dumber than a stump and William is very nice...but dim. As I said, it is sure to offend many people who actually like and revere the royals.Overall, my feeling is that you can't make a decision about this show until you've seen a few episodes. The first is a bit slow...and they got weirder and sillier later (particularly in the second season)...and as a result are a lot more fun. Provided you have thick skin and a lot of the weird, you should like this show.

Alex Holloway Great cast, great jokes and takes the p!ss (rightfully) at our antiquated system. The cast is amazing, and I especially love Edward and Fergie. but they're all hilarious. The story gets a little wild but it has great dialogue and plenty of gags for repeat viewing.You need to stick with it and fully watch it on All 4.Can we have a real life referendum?! 10/10 Bring on series 2 please. Hopefully we'll see the Queen and her foul mouthed husband in it!Can we have a real life referendum?! 10/10 Bring on series 2 please. Hopefully we'll see the Queen and her foul mouthed husband in it!
