King Ralph is a surprisingly enjoyable film starring John Goodman as Ralph Jones, an American who, after a freak accident wipes out the entire British royal family, finds himself hurtled onto the throne with the weight of a country on his shoulders. A weight he finds difficult enough to handle in itself, but when he falls for failed stripper ("I just couldn't do it!") Miranda (Camille Coduri) and his kingly responsibilities put pressure on his personal ...
...but for what it is, King Ralph is a good little film. Much, much better than I expected! There's also a good twist near the end that convinces me that it's worth more than 3 stars.

As for me, I will confess it had flaws like most movie comedies, though I found it highly enjoyable. Part of the reason why I liked CADILLAC MAN was because of its sensational cast, with Robin Williams ... Read review

...and she made a very pretty hooker. Julia has the most beautiful smile; I think that's what makes her so amazing, her smile.

Advantages: clean humour, back to the old days type of movie
Disadvantages: some people may miss the point unless they really get into the show

Nowadays people are just so busy and tied up in their day to day life that we are missing out and aren't happy any more. This movie is a prime example of that and how Billy Crystal's character gets out of that "rut". We are given an example of how most of our lives look,how unhappy, and unfulfilled we might be and what someone does to rectify that problem. A cattle round up is so far from what people even think about anymore but that is where Billy ...
