The only film I've seen in the last month (look, I've been, umm, busy, OK?!), I quite enjoyed A Royal Night Out. Admittedly, I probably enjoyed it mostly because I went to baby cinema to watch it. I haven't been to baby cinema since I went with my son about two years ago, and, for the majority of the film, my daughter loved watching the screen. She's 4 months old and already a bigger TV fan than her big brother. Which makes me happy, 'cause I can watch a movie with her!
A Royal Night Out has a fairly simple plot (always a good thing when you're with a baby). It's VE Day, and the then young Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II), wants a night out. She gets what she wants, and all kinds of antics ensure. She and her sister Margaret get lost, separated, end up buses with no money... y'know, all the kind of stuff you'd never do if you were a royal and had somebody looking after you 24/7.
No, it's not complicated - but it is simple and fun. Which I was more than happy with at the time.
Rating: 3 out of 5
