Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

我个人还是喜欢这个版本的，至于漏洞这些么我觉得是大多数导演的通病，比如逃走不带武器，抢过枪来又无故丢弃，坏人总是开挂-怎么着都弄不死，警察总是粪草，啥也不是……但化妆这些我觉得胜原版一筹，细节把控到位，鼻子骨折明显可见。
lurch实在太可爱了，我永远爱反差萌！
看了原型资料其实改的点抓的挺准的，但是剧情推进实在太不走心太套路了。成也剧作法败也剧作法。
更欢快更主流合家欢了，失去了原版那纯正的哥特味。但是好看的。
黄正民还是绷着在演，不如刘德华。不知道给中国的主创人员钱没？给了多少？《解救吾先生》确实是个好片。比《解救吾先生》差远了
失望......一星给主题曲一星给亲切的大瀑布
一开始是正常消费者行为和应有权利，到后面卖优惠券就是犯罪了。
冷饭，就着爆米花和快乐肥宅水服下，无脑小白片，看看热闹，怀怀旧，FIN...
微博推送。根据真实故事改编，钻了优惠券的空，成为富翁。
Couponing Goes Criminal
这个翻拍确实太差劲了，看黄政民都快看不下去了。
绝对是神片，两个中年妇女通过卖优惠券发家致富并惊动FBI的故事。故事已经很离奇了，电影整体风格又是小妞电影，轻松的音乐，姐妹们一起做大事，男人没有好东西。无论性别，看着都会很开心。前些年这种电影挺多的，这两年动不动就血海深仇的批判这个痛骂那个的，这种轻松幽默的题材反倒显出自己的可贵。
这么有特色的IP 为什么就编的这么垃圾！为什么！！！除了魔幻的画风，我找不到任何亮点。完全没有个院线电影的样子，就这故事线，怎么好意思出第二部？
挺好看！有点完美主义，但小coupon怡情，大coupon坐牢 lol
吾先生珠玉在前，韩版改得就很一般！ 只是借了一个框架，内容改动很大，看着就是一部普通的警匪片而已。 看不到歹徒的穷凶极恶，看不到人质的苦苦求生，更看不到警察的英明神武。影片bug也不少。
和上一部一样，整体比较中规中矩，内核也与上一部差不多，如果说上一部是在表达接受他人与我们的不同，那这一部就是接受自己与其他人不同。整个故事建立在女儿觉得和家人存在格格不入的问题，但说句实话，以女儿那腹黑和虐弟弟的一面来看，真不觉得她和其他人不是一家人，同时非常不能理解的是，最后反派身份揭露的剧情推动，几乎都是靠反派自爆给女儿听，让故事显得十分尴尬和幼稚，甚至还不如第一部的剧情丝滑，而且“走遍美国”的旅行也没什么特别大的亮点，所有情节都显得非常零散和突兀，几乎全员工具人，结局还来了个Rap的MV，还要走遍全球，加上各种粉红泡泡式的配色，没了原本灰暗的基调，真让人不太知道要如何吐槽了。整体来说，也就叔叔的章鱼化比较有趣，部分音乐还不错吧。
亚当斯一家一直走的都是温馨家庭路线惹，只是表达方式比较哥特而已。【开玩笑】当初给我的惊喜已经不见了，好端端的搞什么合家欢？！
3.5 題材好玩，执行一般，选角好(除了女二)
如果没有最后的“个人英雄主义”收场，可以再多打一分。
比第一部好看，顺便被勒什圈粉，这高挑瘦削忧郁大男孩居然还会唱歌弹琴。更有趣的是，这部是真的有恐怖成分，也向好几部经典恐怖片致了个敬。
