Watching here feels akin to peeking at a private love letter from an artist to his art, an experience that will fascinate some and off-put many.

It's fun, involving off-set sexual escapades and a scheme to rescue a back-from-the-dead film director from a work camp.

The Queen of Spain can only offer scant entertainment for movie buffs and non-movie buffs alike.

Between the screwball comedy, historical perspective, lacklustre musical number in the film-within-the-film and story of intrigue, what should have been a breezy farce is a bit of a slog.

The Queen of Spain...has to pose this question to start its engine: is this needed? Unfortunately, the answer is a resolute "no".

5.78/10

A well-acted, but overlong, clunky, and underwhelming satire.

Good lord I loved this movie, full of charm, humor, wonderful acting and writing. Quirky characters and hilarious scenes. I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasently surprised. I was also surprised by the bad reviews. Must have been a bad bach of humorless dolts that just happened by.

I ignored the bad reviews and discovered this to be a great movie Ok this is not close to be a masterpiece or a disruptive movie, but it is not bad at all. The thing is that everyone values it as a mediocre bad sequel, i walked in to this movie without knowing it had a prequel and i spent a great time watching a crazy plot with funny unique characters in very clever situations for humor. Cool down sometimes a bad sequel can still be a great entretaining movie
