My wife always posts stuff about the dowager with the hashtag #TheDowagerIsMyHero. The movie was great! Hope there's another!

Re-watching the series (and I saw the exhibit in Boston and the movie today) - my gosh sheโ€™s hysterical. I really LOLโ€™d several times during the film today and have realized just how much she made the show whilst on the re-watch. Her delivery, timing and zingers are awesome lol.
