I would not have predicted the creation of the Oxford English dictionary would have a movie worthy origin story, but here we are. It also has an unusually high critic/audience Rottentomatoes score differential of 41/80, which suggests it might have been tanked (or pumped up) for political reasons.\
\
Stars Mel Gibson, Sean Penn, and Natalie Dormer.\
