It's a nice study of a young girl's happy obsession.

Reviews for Her Majesty
1 - 20 (sorted by date)
Top CriticAn outstanding family film about a teenage girl in New Zealand whose openness to others and yearning for justice is inspirational.
06/27/07
The story's conflicts come unexpectedly, and they are the reasons the film is as instructive as it is entertaining.
05/11/05
An enjoyable family viewing experience.
05/11/05
Gordon's nifty scenario juggles various aspects -- ordinary brink-of-adolescence growing pains, multicultural-tolerance lessons, suspense gambits -- with entertaining skill.
05/11/05
Top CriticToo earnest for its own good.
02/18/05
Top CriticIts amateurish elements often betray the relatively low budget, and there's also a serious lack of energy.
02/18/05
Her Majesty has all the makings of a perfectly charming family picture, and then the plot runs off the rails.

Her Majesty has worse problems than a lack of realism, namely mediocre direction and acting that’s at the level of bad community theatre.
02/17/05
Plots points and themes of imperialism and racism are hit on the nose repeatedly, until the audience takes a beating.
02/17/05
Top Criticdoesn’t wallow in saccharine. It tells a tough story without apologies, and in the end charms the most hard-hearted . . . with its sense of joy and of justice
02/16/05
An excess of tired elements lend the narrative the trite sensation of an ABC After-School Special.
02/15/05
Thinly drawn characters and ridiculous plot twists, not to mention being a rather sleepy, unengaging film anyway. But hey, no naughty stuff!
02/15/05
So jammed with silly elements that it makes one weary.
11/12/04
The movie has good intentions, but not much artistic merit behind them.
11/11/04
The interactions between Elizabeth and Hira Mata have a nice natural warmth.
08/01/04
This magical story follows a 13 year old girl in New Zealand who dreams that Queen Elizabeth will visit her small village of Middleton.
05/25/04
Offers a miniature, slightly Splenda-ized history lesson that is both inspiring and entertaining for all ages.
05/06/04
Top CriticDespite its clunkier moments, Her Majesty generally works because it realizes that kids often understand adult foibles much better than grownups themselves.
