By focusing on the Queen / Tony Blair angle the film has a strong narrative – it really tells a good story. Everyone come off well in the movie: with the exception of the Queen Mum is a cow, Cherie Blair who is a lunatic and Blair’s Chief of Staff who represents everything that is wrong with politics.

The casting and acting is first class – the portrayals are very good: all the aussies, kiwis and of course poms would pick up on some of the mannerisms and in-jokes. I am sure however that the yanks and europeans who don’t know them that well could still get a lot out of the film.
