Not a happy ending, 24 febrero 2006
2/10
Author: swtflirty de United States

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.

This movie was okay, not nearly as good as the first, 23 febrero 2006
5/10
Author: danielle78 de United States

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.

I was unhappy with the writing and the lack of care in siting, plot and lack of use of original actors, 18 junio 2006
2/10
Author: coralcamp de San Francisco, California, United States

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!

I wasted 1hr and 37min of my life on this movie, 21 febrero 2006

Author: liria de United States

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

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.

Awful, 27 febrero 2006
1/10
Author: h2ostella de Boulder, CO

Absolutely Horrible! Where to start? I wanted to turn off the movie from about 10 minutes in but I keep watching, hoping the movie would get better but it just got worst. All the characters are new actors except Luke Malby. I was really disappointed by the new actors of both Soren, Paige and the Queen. Paige was just too fru fu for the Paige that was introduced during the first one. Soren acted way too serious then tried being the comedic relief. But it just didn't work. And the queen wasn't mean enough when Paige screwed up as she did in the first movie. The acting is bad, the story line is bad and even the handsome prince is ugly. The whole budget seems to be about $100 because the clothes were cheap looking and the hair and makeup was horrible. I absolutely hated the way that they did Paige's hair in the movie. Luke Mably comes across as a whiny snob of a prince that was the complete opposite of the guy everyone liked in the first movie. DO NOT EVEN WASTE TIME PICKING UP THE MOVIE OFF THE SHELF!!!!

A Waste of Luke Mably's Talent, 22 febrero 2006
1/10
Author: hobojon de New Jersey

I must concur with the previous reviewer the only saving grace in this movie is Luke Mably who once again does a fine job portraying Edvard of Denmark. Kam Heskin who plays Paige Morgan is just plain awful from the Shirley Temple hairstyle, the over the top facial expressions, and the hideous wardrobe. The original film while considered fluff by many at least had some wonderful chemistry between the leads whereas there is zilch between Luke and Kam. The only other character worth mentioning is Zoren and I thought Jonathan Firth did an admirable job. Maryam D'Abo's Queen Rosalind is flat and wooden and King Harald is now bald and sports a beard. Even worse is the couple who portray Paige's parents (look more like her grandparents). I cannot fathom why they chose to turn this sequel into such a screwball comedy.

Author: benilicious2005 de Philippines

i just watched this movie last night and i was very very disappointed, what happened to the original cast? this kam heskin actress is no good n this movie,she acts very awkward and seems out of line always,i cant feel inspired. Why are they messing up with this movie it seems this is a very low budget movie. The original cast are all marvelous why are they replaced? The only thing that i will watched this movie is Luke Mably who seems not happy also doing this.Why are they turning this movie into a joke. All the things showed here are all disappointing except for Luke who still perform a great job. I will rate this movie negative.

Being Danish, I must say...., 16 mayo 2006
1/10
Author: jsiv de Denmark

This is THE most horrible movie I have ever seen. I know, I know, I probably have better chances at spotting obvious locational goofs, but seriously. THAT IS A CZECH FLAG IN THE BEGINNING ON THE ROYAL BUILDING (or whatever it was)! But come on people! 4/10 ?! I'm disgusted. The plot is so thin it's crazy. Not to mention the acting! But seriously, the research done before this film is hilarious. Denmark is presented as a kind of royal dictatorship. At some point, and ancient law is brought out from our ancient royal library. Actually, it's 5000 years old.....Becaaaause, we even had writing, laws, let alone a king at the time?! I could go on and on about this nauseating piece of.....argh!! damn that swear filter! Seriously, though, if you REALLY want a shocking movie experience, watch one of the pirated Chinese DVDs with "Engrish" subtitles. That'll render you utterly incapable of understanding what this movie is about.

Have a nice day and do NOT watch this unless you really like bad movies.

That can't be a good sign when you can predict every line and the next scene after the next, 4 noviembre 2006

Author: Kristine (kristinedrama14@msn.com) de Chicago, Illinois

Like I said, my friend and I decided to watch The Prince and Me and The Prince and Me 2 back to back to see what they were like. While, the second Prince and Me started off fairly like a sweet movie, it turned from a teen audience into a little girl's fantasy world. Especially more like a typical Disney princess flick that was unbelievable and I couldn't take seriously, even for a little kid.

It takes off where Paige is now in Denmark and is learning the language, the culture, and the perks of being a queen, including the paparazzi stalking her 24-7. She's also studying still to become a doctor. Edvard is working hard as well to become a good king and is doing the best he can to contain a good king image. But when an old childhood royal friend, Kirsten, gets in the way of the relationship believing that it should only be royalty who becomes king and queen... you can take off with the rest of the plot.

The new girl who played Paige was totally unbelievable as a workaholic study bug, and didn't have the same presence and grace as Julia Styles. The guy who played the prince actually looked irritated to play the role again, I think he knew that this film was a mistake. Oh, well, for the little 5 year old girls who love fairy tales, this is the film for them, let's just pray they don't make a third installment, otherwise with all the making out these two do, it'll be a porno.

1/10

Derivative, but pleasant, 26 mayo 2006
6/10
Author: olszewsk de United States

This sequel, which appears to have been released direct to DVD, has a plot that seems strongly influenced by "King Ralph" and "Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement". All of the principals except Luke Mably are new, so any Julia Stiles fans are likely to experience some disappointment. These things said, the film is quite viewable aside from some sound reproduction problems at times. Page Morgan isn't in Wisconsin any more, and has lost some of the single-minded focus on practicing medicine in the Third World, but remains likable. Prince (now King) Eddie is still likable, but probably a bit too indecisive at times to be a believable king. BTW, as is apparent from the flags (white over red bands with a triangular dark blue canton at the fly) flying from one of the buildings in the opening sequence, the production was filmed in the Czech Republic rather than in Denmark. For me,this was a very watchable flick.
