Prince and Me, The
Rating: 
Movies about royalty seem to be the trend these days and this movie was very similar to The Princess Diaries in that respect.
I don’t want to give too much away becuase I went into this movie knowing nothing about its plot and I think that’s one of the major reasons I liked it so much. Needless to say, it’s easy to guess that Julia Stiles plays a commoner named Paige who falls in love with the prince of Denmark named Eddie, played by Luke Mably.
The movie, for me, was broken up into three parts. The first part is where Eddie and Paige meet on Paige’s home turf and they develop feelings for one another. I loved this part. There were several funny characters and moments. The second part is where Paige is introduced to Eddie’s world and she must get used to living a royal life, which isn’t as easy as you’d think. This part was frustrating and dragged. It was filled with too much back-and-forth emotions. The last part is the ending, which I won’t give away. With such a bloody long movie though (110 minutes) I would have expected more resolution!
If you like any of the various teen/young adult movies on royalty out there right now, you might as well rent The Prince and Me to see what it has to offer. If you’re not into sappy romantiic love stories involving stuffy, proper people rejecting love affairs based on class, this movie likely isn’t for you.
By the end of the movie, I definitely wasn’t happy with it. That being said though, if they do a sequel, I’ll be all over it.
