Movie Reviews of The Prince and Me (Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: Unfortunately I'm an Aussie
Summary: 4 Stars

This film is an ideal 'get away from it all' movie. Unfortunately the scriptwriters chose an actual country for this film and didn't research it properly. At that time the real romance was occurring.
The Crown Prince of Denmark is actually Frederick not Edouard. His girlfriend's name at the time was Mary Donaldson who was born in Tasmania, Australia. They met at the 2000 Olympic games in Sydney and kept in contact by email for many months before Mary moved to Europe to be closer to Frederick. They became engaged in late 2002.
If the scriptwriters had chosen any other country than Denmark, or preferably created one, this wouldn't be an issue. However, if one knows the real story it lowers the crediblity and enjoyment of this movie.
If you don't know the facts of the Danish royal family this film is thoroughly enjoyable. If like me you do, you feel constant frustration. Even literary licence isn't enough to enable me to completely feel great about it.

Summary of The Prince and Me (Widescreen Edition)

WHEN A PRE-MED STUDENT MEETS A HANDSOME PRINCE, SHE MUST DECIDE BETWEEN FOLLOWING HER HEART AND FOLLOWING HER DREAM.
The classic girlhood fantasy of marrying a handsome prince is given a surprisingly realistic and subtle treatment in The Prince and Me. A pre-med student at the University of Wisconsin named Paige (Julia Stiles, 10 Things I Hate About You, Mona Lisa Smile) collides with a lazy, presumptuous exchange student named Eddie (Luke Mably, 28 Days Later) and, after a prickly beginning, falls in love with him--only to discover that Eddie is Edvard, the Crown Prince of Denmark. The scenario is pure wish-fulfillment, but director Martha Coolidge (Valley Girl, Rambling Rose) not only takes a closer look at what royal life is really like, she also takes the time to turn these fantasy roles into characters that have more than two dimensions. It's still a romantic comedy aimed at teenagers, but within the genre's parameters, the movie has a strong visual style and what might be called depth. --Bret Fetzer
