Diagonaldi Very well executed

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Mister Arntzen Very minor spoilers ahead...King Ralph is the king! He is funny and so is this movie! John Goodman is... well he is the king! The king of comedy!Everything about this movie is great, and not just realistic but super funny. I mean... who doesn't want to watch a movie where a sloppy slob of a lounge singer and a drunk gets chosen to be the king of the United Kingdom after a horrible accident kills the entire royal family?Who wouldn't want to see a movie where John Goodman challenges the animal skin wearing king of an African nation to darts but then also darts outside where they actually throw spears?Even his mistakes are hilarious, like when he dances with a stripper at a royal event? Even his piano is hilarious because it's so teeny tiny and he is very big, and he plays rock and roll on it. Needless to say his rock and roll music is shocking to the other royals in attendance, including their daughter, the princess of Finland and Ralph's would-be bride, who has a hilariously deep, moose-like voice. In fact his music is so shocking it might even make some snob's monocle fall out into his champagne glass!OK so the movie is pretty stupid but it's also very fun and funny. Lighten up and enjoy it ya snooty snobs!

davidjanuzbrown I am a huge fan of this movie. There are a lot of people who do not, but perhaps they would if they actually paid close attention ( especially the last 20 minutes). Spoilers ahead: Watch the speech before Parliament where Ralph abdicates the throne for Cedric ( Peter O' Toole): Admitting " I tried my best, but my best will never be good enough." Cedric notes later on that ( Ralph ) is a good and kind man who conducted himself with honor and taught him how to be King ( showing courage by doing the right thing for England and giving England "A better and more qualified man then any Nation deserves." ( he did not want the job ( one reason being he had no heirs) and admitted being a coward)). The relationship between Ralph and Miranda really works as well. Camille Coduri is a knockout, much better looking thank Princess Anna ( Joely Richardson). But what really works is she is not perfect ( being a stripper), and gradually starts to realize she has made bad decisions in her life ( "Taking the easy way out" and accepting money from Lord Graves to embarrass Ralph ( Graves was a particularly nasty John Hurt)). In the end she changes and is working in a clothing store when Ralph comes for her. Of course, you know that the next King of England will be Ralph and Miranda's Son Ralph Jr ( you see him in the final scene). Really outstanding performances by Camile Coduri, Richard Griffiths ( the King's Secretary Duncan Phipps), John Goodman ( Ralph), and of course, O'Toole who should be on a short list of the greatest actors in History. 10/10 Stars

Jekkyl I am honestly surprised to see this movie has a five out of ten rating on IMDb. I know that it was far from a hit movie but for what it is I thought it was fantastic! I have always been a fan of John Goodman (who I remember mostly from the TV show Roseanne) and in this movie he plays a Las Vegas lounge singer who ends up through a fluke accident having to become the next King of England, "King Ralph".He obviously has trouble fitting in and is very frustrated and breaks all the rules, with the people around him trying to get him to fit in and others trying to bring him down so a new line can take over the throne of England.It's not a great or brilliant movie but it's not supposed to be, it's a fun comedy with some really funny jokes and a fantastic cast. John Goodman is great and the guys working in the palace are also excellent with some really big name actors in this.

CinefanR "King Ralph" was surprisingly entertaining and very funny, actually. However outrageous, implausible, ridiculous the plot, that doesn't matter. It was deliciously over the top to see Peter O'Toole and John Goodman, the most unlikely team ever, provide the spectacle of a cultural clash, to say the least. The movie cheerfully mocks both American and British culture and stereotypes, but it does it rather playfully, without being offensive to anybody. The joke is either on the hamburger and baseball loving Americans, or the stiff conservatory high-class Brits. People who describe this movie as "low-brow" comedy obviously have no idea what that means. This is good quality humor, no crude and tasteless jokes here. The actors are all top-rate and the acting is first class. Who could have played the majestic, royal British type better than Peter O'Toole? Nobody! He's perfect, graceful and dignified as the King's adviser. John Goodman, on the other hand, is perfect as the average joe who doesn't know or care much about protocol, good manners or politics. John Hurt is another excellent choice to play the part of an evil, unscrupulous aristocrat hung up on power. Hurt obviously enjoyed doing this part and he's very funny. The movie tends to drag when Goodman's girlfriend shows up, but Princess Anna enters the stage to compensate. There are also some unnecessary exaggerations, but I didn't mind. The script is good, the jokes are over the top and performances are great all around. Hilarious stuff!
