Critics Consensus: Though it features some extravagant and entertaining moments, The Other Boleyn Girl feels more like a soap opera than historical drama.

... loses steam when the catfighting abruptly gives way to grim realpolitik.
Why in the name of ermine boleros would anyone make such a dull, coy and, worst of all, pretty film about Anne Boleyn?
I think the performances are really good.
[An] oversimplified, overheated mediocre melodrama.
[A] vulgarized portrayal of the Tudor court.
After covering much of its ground at a stylish canter, The Other Boleyn Girl finishes at a plod.
This is cliché heaped on cliché and hopelessly artificial.
There was no time to be bored in this breathless period piece about royal misbehavior, although I was often bewildered and confused.
This well-crafted historical drama is a treat for Tudor history fans and everyone else who appreciates a lusty tale.
Irresistibly salacious soap opera, teeming with lust, scheming, backstabbing, and some outrageously overheated plot twists.
Apart from the close ups of the lead actresses in 16th century garb, this movie is recommended only to soap opera aficionados and lovers of corsets.
Dreary
Natalie Portman is great and in fact the only one who stands out from the cast, but even though mildly intriguing, it is too bad that this period drama feels like a slow-paced soap-opera more concerned about melodrama than historical accuracy.
Super Reviewer
Excellent cast and based on a true story about two sisters who are pawned by their family into the Kings' court to bed King Henry VIII and produce a heir to the throne. The King breaks with the Catholic church when his wife, the Queen cannot give him an heir, in order to marry Anne Boleyn. She gives him an heir, not a son but a daughter - Elizabeth who ruled for 45 years after Henry's death. I love the costumes and drama. Great cast.
Excellent period drama that tells a perfect and dead on story of Anne (Natalie Portman) & Mary Boleyn (Scarlett Johansson) as they both seduce King Henry VIII (Eric Bana) in this dramatic & tragic film masterpiece.
Stylish and well directed, superb costumes and strong performances, the movie stand out to be truly enjoyable and highly dramatic.
