Review
Somewhat predictable, but enjoyable flick about a group of juvenile deliquents forced by an enormous cross-dressing termigant (Eddie Wizzard ("Bloody Beatle") into acting as butlers to a spoiled princess (a story clearly based on the late, great mouser, Eartha Kitt). Of course in the end everyone learns the golden rule but as Gandhi never let us forget, it's the journey, not the destination. I've got to hand it to former Journey helmsman Steven Tyler Perry ("Any Way You Want Your Big Seven Inch"), I didn't think he had it in him. But with age sometimes comes wisdom, and the broken hearted man-girl with the cloven tongue and the soft, soft hands digs deep here. Credit where credit is due.
