23 Reviews. Hide Spoilers. Sort by: Filter by Rating: 4/10. Great cast, (below) average movie. maros612 4 February 2006. A movie is about Malcom King, a spoiled tycoon, who treats people like dirt and acts funny. I think the character was quite good for the comedy genre, so bad the writers of the story weren't bit more creative.
Movie Review. Malcolm King is a self-made man who’s about to sell his marketing company for a cool $25 million. But he’s made his fortune by stepping on people so he has no allies, save his irrationally loyal secretary, Miss Gladys, and a dimwitted, buxom “assistant” named Peaches.
On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 2% based on 50 reviews, with an average rating of 2.4/10. The site's consensus states: "Filled with crass dialogue, unlikable characters, and overdone slapstick gags, King's Ransom is an utterly inept would-be comedy."
