Trivia:
The love letter than Mary reads to herself says, "My heart and I surrender themselves into your hands." This is an actual quote from the real letter, but the letter was to Anne, not Mary. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Mary Boleyn's wedding scene takes place in late spring or early summer. She married William Carey in early February 1520, so the weather should be much bleaker, with snow. more
Quotes:
King Henry VIII: I have torn this country apart for you!
Anne Boleyn: For which you should thank me, not be angry!
King Henry VIII: Broken with Rome...
Anne Boleyn: Freed yourself, more like, from the decadence of a corrupt church
King Henry VIII: Got rid of a good woman in the queen...
Anne Boleyn: And with Spanish blood shackles you to Rome

Dumbed down history and bad acting, 10 July 2008
1/10
Author: akunau from United States

It was a real chore to endure 2 hours of this weak film. The historical inaccuracies aside, of which there are more than will fit on this page, the acting was awful, and both actresses' English accents were laughable. Why can't English actresses be cast in English roles? It's a difficult accent to master especially for American actors, similarly hard for English actors to get down an American accent or specific dialect. Bottom line not worth the $4 rental fee, and definitely does not do these real people of history any justice.

There are much better films about the Tudors already made. Recommended would be "Anne of the Thousand Days" and "Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth: The Golden Age".

Nobody had balls in this movie except... Queen_Elocin
