Mrs. Brown (1997)
7/10
A good drama that is worth a look
20 June 2007
Mrs Brown is a movie my mom has almost killed me over, lol, just joking. But she wanted me to find it on DVD, I could never find it, but I did find it at Hollywood Video and just told my mom about it, she freaked out and screamed for me to rent it. So I rented it and put her at peace, lol, but anyways, we watched it together this afternoon and I have to say that I didn't see the dramatic deal with the movie, my mom actually said it didn't seem as good as before either. But I wouldn't deem it as a bad movie at all, it was actually made very well with some fantastic and very distinguished actors of our time.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's marriage was one of the happiest in royal history, so when Albert passed away, Vicotiria is devastated. The queen is in ultimate mourning and England is not pleased with the way she is handling it. But when a Scottish horse servant, John Brown, comes to help her, they become best friends and eventually lead into something more scandalous leading England her majesty's court to question her abilities as their queen.

Mrs Brown is very well made and has a very strong cast that keep the movie together. It's a movie I would recommend if you love time pieces. It didn't thrill me, but the story was very interesting and wonderful in the fact that you got to see the human side of Queen Victoria. That it's possible to question emotions and a sense of duty, something most of us face in a life time.
