“The Young Victoria” DVD Review & Giveaway

By /

Thanks to Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, I had the opportunity to review a wonderful movie called, “The Young Victoria.”  “The Young Victoria” comes out on DVD today, April 20th, and it’s definitely a movie worth checking out.  I hope they make a sequel to it.  Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend did amazing jobs in this movie and I absolutely fell in love with their characters.  You can purchase “The Young Victoria” online and in stores across the country.  The DVD retails for $27.96.

Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend star in the lavish historical drama, THE YOUNG VICTORIA. Resolved to establish her authority over those who rule in her stead, a young and inexperienced Queen Victoria (Blunt) draws strength from the love of Albert (Friend), the handsome prince who’s stolen her heart. Based on the courtship and early reign of England’s longest-serving monarch, THE YOUNG VICTORIA is a majestic tale of romance, intrigue and power.

    I love movies and books about the Victorian era. It was fascinating to visit the statue of Queen Victoria in London and touring the buildings from that era.

    Thank you,
