This has been the most popular movie since it opened last Friday. Like most chick-flicks, this one attracts mostly women. Unlike most chick-flicks, these women are sows. A movie like 27 Dresses attracts the younger, more fit, more attractive female audience; The Other Boleyn Girl attracts women who've lost the battle with age and beauty and now they don't care how they look or how big a mess they make. Many of them sport perpetual frowns and no doubt, many are some unlucky guy's ex-wife.
The Other Boleyn Girl is a bit of a surprise as far as cleanliness goes. The story itself is old. The girls are more concerned with family status and power, but the king is only concerned with producing an heir to his throne and has no intention of sharing power. He is selfish - big surprise from a king, and takes what he wants for himself and when it appears it will cost him, he chops off some heads.
I like actress Natalie Portman (Star Wars), even as a bad girl. She's as good at speaking the King's English as she is portraying a pregnant Southern belle who gives birth in a Wal-Mart store.
