My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Young Victoria (2009)

As historical costume romances go this is a delightful film that tells the story of England's Queen Victoria when she obtains the crown and falls in love.  Like most well-crafted love stories it does what it is meant to and that's make the audience root for the two lovers to get together.  At times the story meanders a bit as it tries to follow some historical details as a blue print but excellent chemistry and good acting keep this film a float.  B.
