Goodman, the king of laughs
Watching a whole royal family blown up, isn’t particularly funny, but we must remember this is only a movie. Out of interest, it would be interesting to see the real royal family’s view on this movie, as well as how accurately the set up is here. Enter John Goodman, a piano player who plays in seedy second rate clubs, in Vegas. He’s scouted out by some of the surviving royalty where on the night of being fired from his gig, he’s given a proposition, which is a dream. But really what would it be like, being the new king or any royal figure, having to adhere to customs, and keep up appearances, while also being mobbed in informal wear. No way. And this is basically what they take from Goodman in this. I think they’ve visually captured this originally good comedy well, and it has been interestingly written. It’s quite dishy. One such touch I loved, was the score of punk/fascists with their pink cuts and heavy jewellery, watching through the t.v shop, passing view on their new king. Our King too, falls in love with an English girl, where she too is propositioned, by a corrupt royal party, (John Hurt, in a splendid dastardly performance, who was also up for king). Peter O’Toole as Ralph’s royal tutor, is royally solid, no surprise, he was cast in this sort of role. They found the right man for the job in Goodman, as he displays his bumbling and clunky manner with such believability, which he’s very un king like, where the writers have poured a lot of funny stuff into this, as well poking fun at the royal traits and figures, themselves. John Goodman’s love interest was good too, fresh off the heals of her character in Nuns On The Run. Oh and he was right, about the royal woman (fox, looking a lot like Di), he’s ‘spose to marry, she really does have the voice of a tuba, which would scare off any guy. Check out Goodman’s expressions here. There will be people out there, including real royalty who will take offence to this film, but there’s a lot of other more offensive comedies. I found King Ralph very funny, but also very well made in terms of royal setting, costuming, whatever. And really, is there such a desert as Spotted d..k. Hear and see Duke Of Earl song like it’s never been played before, by Goodman, and band.
