I like this! It’s not nearly as funny as you’d like it to be, but Goodman is kind of just endlessly watchable. Truly insane that they used actual England instead of a made up country in light of the opening.

Crazy how a movie that opens with the entire royal family getting electrocuted at once and ends with John Goodman performing Duke of Earl in costume is actually not all that fun in the middle. Like, it was okay, but those two instances made me feel like it should’ve been a real ride
