King Ralph
One of those ideas that sounds far better than it actually is, although given it's a movie based on a one-joke premise, it's hardly surprising. Goodman is the fat, boorish US piano player who, through a quirk of fate and a distant part of his family tree, becomes king of England. There are flashes of inspiration, as the new monarch becomes accustomed to his surroundings, and, amazingly enough, it gives O'Toole his best role in years. However, this thin idea outstays its welcome long before the final credits.
