The Lion in Winter December 11, 2009

Catch a ride back to Christmas Day in 1185 and visit a royal family that is as dysfunctional as they come. King Henry II of England has three sons by Eleanor of Aquitaine -- Richard, Geoffrey and John. Henry wants the kingdom to stay united after his death, but all three sons want to rule and it is likely to be torn apart by revolution. The cut throat comedy leaves all of these royal members damaged, but leaves the audience howling in the aisles. Never has such a comedy been so loved by so many.
