n June 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Bill Murray) and his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) host the King and Queen of England (Samuel West and Olivia Colman) for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson, in upstate New York - the first-ever visit of a reigning English monarch to America. With Britain facing imminent war with Germany, the Royals are desperately looking to FDR for support. But international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR's domestic establishment, as wife, mother, and mistresses all conspire to make the royal weekend an unforgettable one. -- (C) Focus

The people who you share great-great-great-great-grandp­arents with are your fifth cousins. You could go back and have 100th cousin if you like. Will and Kate are 12th cousins.

Ben didn't see the movie? NEVER!!!

First you said he couldn't do drama (which implied that this film was only a drama), then you conceded that he could mix humor and drama (which is what this film is), and now you are apparently saying that he was only funny in the current film, which contradicts your previous stance that he is capable of doing roles that mix comedy and drama. At this point, you've lost all credibility because even you don't know what you think or how to defend it.

He was funny in it.

I said he's not good in drama--how does that do anything to my theory? He's not good in drama.

By the way, this movie is categorized as a biographical comedy-drama, so there goes your theory...

I'll bet she tastes like a human.
