I thought it was awful. Gratuitous use of foul language and totally ignoring the historical background. If you go to see this film not knowing about the contemporary history, you will come out not learning any of the significant things that were happening during Queen Anne's reign.
The musical backdrop was dreadful, the script was even worse.
How many critics can describe it as funny really surprises me. I think it's a case of critics not wanting to upset the studios.
