'The Other Boleyn Girl' is based on a historical novel by Philippa Gregory, and plays much like a 16th century soap opera. Anne Boleyn was the second wife of Henry VIII, one of England's most famous monarchs, known for his split with the Catholic Church, and for being the father of Elizabeth I. He was also a lot like...
