HER MAJESTY, MRS. BROWN is a royal treat. Oh, sure, it's predict- able-- the story of a grieving Queen Victoria and her helping hand Highlander loosens up *way* too soon-- but there's a high time to be had watching Billy Connolly (remember him from TV's "Head of the Class?") bellow orders to Judy Dench's (remember her as "M" in GOL- DENEYE?) stuffed-shirt staff. Yeah, there's bits of political in- trigue... and a reasonably affecting love story... but the *real* fun is seeing so many upturned noses get bent so far out of joint. And can you believe how much Connolly both looks *and* sounds like John Cleese? Sorry, sorry, sorry. (Rated "PG"/103 min.) Grade: B Copyright 1997 Michael J.
