The Prince and Me Reviews

---

Bad, Bad, Just Plain Bad!
It was a love story between a Wisconsin girl played by Julia Stiles, who has planned her whole life and wants to be a doctor and work for Doctors Without Borders, and the Prince of Denmark, portrayed by British newcomer Luke Mably. He is wild in his ways, doesn't want to take life seriously in spite of the fact that he will become king one day. He just wants to get away from all of his royal duties.

So when he sees a tv advert selling the video Girls Gone Wild! he figures that all Wisconsin college girls take off their shirts when prompted to do so. He learns very quickly that it is not so at the school he transfers to and consequently meets Julia's character, Paige. He comes across as obnoxious and she can't tolerate him. But somehow he ingratiates himself with her and she melts.

It doesn't take long before they fall for each other and their world shatters when she finds out his big secret: he's really Prince Charming.

Now I have some issues with the storyline but I have a huge gripe with the weather situation in this movie. It seems that Wisconsin is warm, bright, sunny with clear skies and grass for Thanksgiving weekend. Somehow that doesn't seem right to me. It should be freakin' cold in Wisconsin at the end of November, right?

Oh and shortly after that, when Paige learns Eddie is really Prince Edward of Denmark, she decides to follow him to Denmark which, it turns out, is also warm, bright, sunny with clear skies.

Now I have a friend who just recently moved to Denmark from Barcelona and he tells me it's cold. A quick visit to the Yahoo.com Weather page tells me that it is currently 34 degrees farenheit which is darn almost freezing cold. So there is no way that she would be walking around in short sleeves and not seeing her breath floating in the air.

It doesn't take long for Paige to realize that she doesn't want to be a queen, that she really wants to be a doctor. So she gives the huge diamond ring back and heads back to Wisconsin.

I won't tell you what happens next because that would be pretty much telling you how it ended. But don't bother seeing it or even renting it. The ending isn't worth it.

Now while we were told at the beginning of the movie that this was a film in progress and that it hadn't been finalized, I believe that the version we saw was pretty much the final cut.

It was too long - almost two hours. It dragged a lot. The Paige character could have been played by anyone, Julia Stiles did not shine in this performance. Luke Mably was cute and attractive but he certainly didn't make me swoon like Matthew Goode did in Chasing Liberty. Matt looked like a movie star while Luke just seemed like an average guy. Plus, he's almost anorexic.

I LOVED IT!
I saw it in a test screening and loved it! Luke Mably and Julia Stiles had so much chemistry that I cried near the end.
Ben Miller is really funny. . .This is a classic love story which we have not had in a long time.
