Product Description:

Amazon.com:
David Ward made his reputation on his original screenplay to The Sting, but his career as a director has been built on lightweight comedies filled with generous spirit and slight aspirations. King Ralph delivers on that level. After a freak accident kills every immediate member of the British royal family, a search of the royal bloodline uncovers an unlikely candidate: portly Vegas lounge singer John Goodman. How will this gauche, exuberant, red-blooded American mix with the haughty aristocratic bluebloods? Blustery, big-hearted Goodman brings the common touch to the palace with the enthusiastic spirit of a beer-guzzling, burger-eating American everyman who hammers out a mean rock & roll piano--even at official functions. John Hurt plays his conniving rival, an overlooked lord who plots his demise, while Peter O'Toole brings quiet dignity to his role as the King's private secretary and unofficial guide through the maze of etiquette and diplomacy. Ward brings a distinctly American sensibility to the British setting-- this is definitely slapstick over satire and Goodman is a veritable bull in the royal china shop. It's a modest underdog comedy in which white hats and black hats are pretty rigidly defined, but Goodman brings a working-class dignity to the role. Watch for Joely Richardson in a hilarious turn as a throaty foreign princess who puts the moves on Goodman. --Sean Axmaker

I had looked for this "movie" for a while, we enjoyed watching it when our children were at home. Finally found it at Amazon...used, I ordered it for a couple of dollars and it was it just like new. We are so glad we checked with Amazon before giving up on it. The best laugh we have had in along time!!! Great movie!

Seller GROSSLY overstated the condition of this DVD. I hesitate to trust this Seller again and do not recomment others to do so either.

Can't think of anyone else who would have played the role better. His ability for going from funny to serious is amazing and I really loved the entertaining plot of the movie. Old one but a must-see!

Kind of makes you think about what could be if you could just forget living your everyday life style to live like a king. Isn't what its all what you think. They have so many rules and how you should act and so on.
But its very entertaining to watch..I hop you will enjoy it as much as I did. And yes,they should be more relaxed and then it wouldn't be so hard to control the country.

I love this movie!! John Goodman is at his best. This is one that I pick when I need something fun to watch. I battle long-term depression, and this has the right combo of fun, some drama, and great music performed by John Goodman -- just what the doctor ordered!!
