Customer Reviews of King Ralph
Very Funny!! This is a great movie - it was made in 1991 but is still hilarious! John Goodman plays an American who inherits the throne in England and has to deal with the culture shock and his new-found royal obligations. If you liked him in the role of Dan Conner on Roseanne, you will enjoy him in this movie. Peter O'Toole plays his loyal assistant who has to teach him how to act like a king and steals many of the scenes much the way Hobson did in the movie Arthur. I highly recommend this movie! It is very funny and one of those movies you can watch over and over and still crack up every time - and the great thing about DVD is you can skip to the highlights!
Goodman Sells A Spectacular Performance!
HM King Ralph is an exceptionally well done film, and is hilarious footage for the whole family. The movie King Ralph begins with the recent deaths of the entire British Royal Family. Britains then trace back Royal liniage to find that a Casino gambling American (Goodman) is next in line to the British Throne of Whindom. John Goodman brings laughs and spunk into the walls of Buckingham Palace, and an emotional ending leaves you ready to watch it again!
John Goodman's best role!!
Synopsis : A freak accident occurs that wipes out the entire royal family, and England is forced to find a new king. After doing an extensive search of the bloodline, a distant heir is revealed. That heir is Ralph Jones - a good-natured Las Vegas lounge singer. The original king's private secretary ( Peter O' Toole) is forced to give Ralph a crash course in what it takes to be a king. Unfortunately, Ralph's unconventional behavior provides fuel for a plot to take over the throan by the evil Lord Graves ( John Hurt). To make things even worse, Ralph falls for a stripper( Camille Coduri)which threatens to tarnish Ralph's royal image beyond repair. Now it is up to the former Las Vegas entertainer, to redeem himself, and show that he has what it takes to become England's very own "King Ralph"...
My Thoughts : "King Ralph" is one of the funniest films I have ever seen, and it is John Goodman's best role without a doubt. He was absolutely perfect for the role, simply because he got to play a character that was so much like himself. All of his "unconventional" methods of being king, will have you laughing for the entire film. Peter O' Toole was also oustanding as Goodman's private secretary. He tries his hardest to teach Ralph the "propper" way of being king, and must fight Ralph every step of the way. The fact that Goodman and O' Toole are such opposites, is what makes them play so well off of each other. John Hurt and Camille Coduri give nice supporting performances as well.
Overall : "King Ralph" offers outstanding performances, and non-stop laughs. I highly recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of John Goodman, or comedies in general. You will not be dissapointed!!
Grade : A
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
