It seems to me that all the people giving this film low ratings are ones that brought their children that were younger than 13. They obviously did not read the PG-13 rating note that SAID this film has CRUDE and had suggestive content THROUGHOUT. I thought this movie was very funny and Adam Sandler is known for doing stupid stuff, that's his charm, so I saw what I expected to see. Even Will Ferrell is pretty raunchy. Come on people, you don't take your kids to this. Go back to school if you can't read. I thought the film got a little sappy towards the end with the peace message, not sure that fits in with a raunch comedy film, but I was entertained.
Anyone who enjoys period pieces will enjoy this movie. It's a gREAT date movie because of all the inuendo. It will get you in the mood for a personal session back home. :) Very colorful and passionate but not very realistic . I mean REALLY, Eric Bana as King Henry!?!? Have you SEEN a portrait of the REAL King Henry? He was a homely, pasty white, f@t guy with beady little eyes. More like Jaba-the-Hut if you ask me. Now if Mr. Seymore from Truman Capote played King Henry the VIII that would have been more realistic! I would have liked to see Scarlett and Natalie kiss Mr. Seymore and make it look like they liked it ! That would take some REAL acting. It would have been more true to what King Henry was like- a Geek! Not the stud that Eric Bana is. I mean how hard was it ,to make out with Eric?! Pleeeeeese.
