Downton Abbey

While British aristocrats Earl Crowley (Hugh Bonneville) and his countess American wife (Elizabeth McGovern) and the rest of the uppercase family (Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery, Matthew Goode, Penelope Wilton, Rachel Cassidy, Laura Carmichael, Harry Hadden-Paton, Allen Leech, et al.) in 1927 England anticipate the arrival of the King George V (Simon Jones) and Queen Mary (Geraldine James) at the luxurious Downton Abbey estate in the idyllic Yorkshire countryside in this superbly acted, well-written, captivating, witty, entertaining, star-studded (Imelda Staunton, Harry Hadden-Paton Tuppence Middleton, Douglas Reith, Charlie Watson, Michael Fox, and Kate Phillips), 122-minute film based on Julian Fellowes's highly popular television series and highlighted by gorgeous cinematography, costumes, and sets, the loyal household servants (Jim Carter, Phyllis Logan, Joanne Froggatt, Brendan Coyle, Sophie McShera, Robert James-Collier, Lesley Nicol, Kevin Doyle, et al.) must deal with longstanding royal protocol when they are pushed aside by the snooty majesties servants (David Haig, Tom Ashley, et al.).
