The Prince & Me II: The Royal Wedding (2006) Reviews
Not a happy ending
I kinda liked the plot of the movie, but what makes the movie so awful is the characters. The new girl that played Paige was more dressy and preppy, and Julia she was more down to earth laid back kind of girl. I'm so disappointed in the movie. All expect for Prince Edward were all different characters. If your going to make a sequel to a movie at least have the same people or don't make a sequel at all. There are just to many movies that don't have the same characters as the first movie. I was so excited when I heard that the movie was coming out. The poster that they have for the movie looked like Julia and on the cover of the DVD. I'm sorry I wouldn't buy this movie.
I was unhappy with the writing and the lack of care in siting, plot and lack of use of original actors
Dear me, I think I was not very happy when I saw this sequel! What can I say kindly? Although the movie was funny, slapstick, and lighthearted, it felt like it lacked much depth of feeling and lacked the more timeless quality of the careful acting and writing and siting of the first version. It was too hurried, and unrealistic; a number of the characters were "plastic" and lacked depth in their development. It's as if someone took the characters in the first movie and put them on a faster time machine, with all that fast talk. It just didn't seem real. The ultimate anguished moment for me was that the end was too hurried in parts it should not have been, crazy and simply not believable - especially the muted, smiling "parents" - who lacked the depth of the original parents - the kind you can really relate to, not the wax-faced figures that seemed to "appear". The characters were not developed well, although the father in this movie did seem to be a very good actor in his expression of words. How did the plot evolve? The depth of the characters (except for Luke), clarity of the scenes and plot and the acting was all off-key to me. I apologize for having to be negative, as I like to encourage, but it was just so disappointing! Upon reflection, I think I was shocked and made quite angry to find most of the original cast gone, so great to the first movie. When the original actors are not reused - the immediate thing that happens in my mind is comparing and trying to figure out if this character is really supposed to be the one I saw before - and realizing how different they are, and not in a good way....which takes away from the movie and its plot. I think it must be a reflexive action to do so, and had the original actors been used, it might have had a small chance... I kept wanting to see the real Soren (although his replacement was good - but too hurried)- what a great character and actor the original Soren is! as well as Julia Stiles and her parents and brothers and his real mother, the Queen (she played it so beautifully, timing was there in her words and actions, as were all the actors in the original cast) and where was the Prince's sweet sister????? It was so sadly not there.....they were so great together in the original movie, so well written and so in-depth with serious issues and real love....you could feel the chemistry betwenn all the actors in the first one. Had this second movie been done on its own and not as a sequel, it would have happily landed on its feet as a funny farce. But it went into the mud with the Norwegian "Princess", in my book! What happened? Is there any way, any way at all to redo the movie with the original writers, staff, actors, etc? It needs to be done - I would really like to see this plot modified and redone - a really well-done, in-depth romance! Thank you for listening!
Offended and disappointed
I just saw this movie, and as a Dane, I'm offended and disappointed. It was just so... bad! The plot seemed unoriginal, the cast was .. well, disappointing, and what happened to Paige's hair? Movie 1 it was brown and straight, but now it's unnaturally curly and blond? And the actor? Kam Heskin? Not really... But what I had the biggest problem with was that this was supposed to be about a Danish prince, and that most of the movie is supposed to take place in Denmark, yet there were no Danish actors (in the first there was at least one), and the actors who where supposed to be Danish couldn't even speak Danish properly, and they almost didn't speak the language at all! I know Danish is a hard language to learn and to speak, the Queen of Denmark's husband doesn't even speak it that well after many years in Denmark, but then you need to employ at least A FEW Danes, instead of just teaching the actors a few words. Most of the characters' names weren't good either. I don't know if the writer researched Denmark or Norway and Sweeden when finding names, but names like Rosalind and Edward are very rare, and not exactly typical royal names. Harald is not common either, at least not in Denmark. One of our princes' is name Felix! Joachim! Christian! Frederik! I have a whole list of this that seem wrong about the movie from a Danish perspective, I just needed to vent a few. It just really annoys me that they couldn't take the time to make an effort. I heard the first movie was inspired by the love story of our future king and queen, Frederik and Mary, and in that case, I'm offended on behalf of the royal Danish family. Gads, that movie was bad.
I wasted 1hr and 37min of my life on this movie
I only half-heartedly hoped that this straight to DVD sequel might have some redeeming quality that most of its ilk do not. It was just as I expected it to be - trite and predictable all the way through, with absolutely NO redeeming qualities whatsoever but for the Hollywood happy ending, for those that must have one (and even that was barely tolerable). The only actor from the original film that returned to the sequel was Luke Mably, continuing his role as Prince Edvard. (Perhaps that should have given him some indication that making this film wasn't a good idea.) If he is the only reason you want to watch the movie, it's not worth it. Everything I liked about the original was ruined in this sequel, right down to the abysmal dialogue, acting, and plot. None of the new actors seemed to fit into the characterizations created by their predecessors. This made all of them feel stiff, as though they are being forced to express sentiments and traits that are not natural to them. Paige's character had no dimension and none of the endearing qualities that got you to like Julia Stiles originally. Mably has absolutely NO chemistry with the actress playing Paige Morgan and it shows. Below is a full plot summary. If you do not wish to read the plot and spoilers, please do not read any further. A greedy, penniless cousin of the royal family who is royalty in Norway finds an old law which reads that if the prince was crowned without a bride, then his bride must be of royal Scandinavian blood or he must abdicate the throne. This noble just happens to have a daughter, Kirstin, who was a playmate of Edvard's when they were younger. She was chubby back then, but surprise! Today she's fit to be a model. Kristin professes to be on Paige and Edvard's side and against her father. Both sides of royalty agree to keep things out of the press, and the royal lawyers do what they can to find a loophole. (Anyone want to guess as to their success?) Meanwhile, Kirstin undermines and humiliates Paige in any way she can, proving that she's out for herself. Edvard can't believe his childhood friend would do such a thing. Paige confronts Kirstin, and then the underhanded cat-fight is on, each trying to humiliate the other as much as possible. The stress eventually separates Paige and Edvard, and she goes to live in the school dorm until finals are over. Edvard, trying to "do what's right for the people," continues wedding preparations to marry Kirstin instead of Paige. Paige spots a tabloid picture of Eddie in which he isn't smiling as though he loves Kirstin, and then sets out for the school's law library with some friends to try to find the loophole that all the lawyers couldn't find. (Anyone want to bet on her success? Oh, wait, I already mentioned Hollywood happy-ending.) Eddie decides just before the wedding that he can't marry Kirstin. (Who knew?) He finds Paige coming out of the library. She shares the good news. They get Soren to lock Kirstin in her room. (And 'hilarity ensues' as she tries to break her way out and get to the church just in time to make a fool of herself.) Meanwhile, according to a newer law (40 years newer than the one previously discussed), Paige has to read the constitution in Danish in front of the Parliament. She manages it, they marry, Kirstin makes a fool of herself, and it's finally over. Conspicuously absent in all this: Princess Arabella, Edvard's little sister; not even a mention that she exists. Oh, and why can't Edvard just ask Parliament to update the law? All in all, this movie falls flat on its face in the mud, just like Kirstin did.
This movie was okay, not nearly as good as the first
Kam Heskin is a pretty talented actress who was a good choice as a replacement for Julia Stiles, but there was very little chemistry between Kam and Luke Mably(Prince Edvard). Luke Mably is a great actor, but I couldn't help noticing that he seemed bored throughout the movie-and in several parts you can see him looking to the side, obviously reading his lines. I was surprised at that. The movie's plot was okay, Paige and Eddie are starting to feel the pressures of living up to royal expectations. I like the fact that in the start of the movie, it shows Paige attending medical school in Denmark, it shows she didn't give up her dreams of being a doctor.
