This was a lovely little treat of a film. I picked it because of the actors in it. I figured that many names couldn't make a bad film. Plus I would watch Stanley Tucci read a phone book he's that good.
I figured the story from the start. Ragamuffin flower girl comes to court and falls for the kings landscaper. Boom, done story. But I was really surprised at these turn of events. There were actually very strong back stories to these really great characters. It was funny, touching and very well casted. The scenery was beautiful and of course love the wardrobe. Alan Rickman sheds his immortal Prof. Snape character for one even bigger. Can never have enough Kate Winslet. but best of all was seeing Mattias Starsgart in yet another movie. he's starting to show up everywhere. I'm loving it.
All in all, a lovely little treat worth watching and enjoying.
