God forgive me, I enjoyed it!
I'm sorry, but I did. I think it depends on your mood; I was willing to be entertained that day. The plot is wafer thin; the film's original title of 'The King and Oy' should tell you something. However, it does have some good lines in it, and since I've not seen Drescher in anything else (I must have blocked her from Spinal Tap), she was slightly grating but not unbearably so. The real shock was how much Timothy Dalton looks like Stalin! To think in all of those Bond films British Intelligence had a communist dictator as their top spy. Anyway, he's charmingly bemused as the thawing Dictator, and McNiece and Malahide provide good support as ever.
