About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like broad, saucy British period spoofs with lots of innuendo and playful history-bending, especially in the vein of The Four Musketeers; Not for you if dated sex comedy quickly wears thin.

Pros: lively bawdy humor; energetic cast; handsome period look | Cons: dated attitudes; uneven laughs; thin story
