Such a frustrating disappointment

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This movie at first was a clear but now is a difficult case for me. Like probably all people who see this film for the first time, I saw "The Prince and Me" first and this second film is way worse than the first film.The major problem, of course, is that they exchanged almost all of the main cast. This makes it difficult to identify with the story and the characters. Also, it is very obviously that Luke Mably really didn't want to be in this one (and I can understand why he didn't).The plot is thin, Paige is annoying, Edvard looks repulsed most of the time, and all the other characters are just ridiculous.That was a while ago. In the meantime I have seen the film about three times. On my free will. What did change my mind? Simple: It was one actor. Jonathan Firth. In my opinion, he is the most elegant, sweet and sensitive character in this film. A real joy to watch. And basically the reason you like watching the whole film in the end.Because it seems with brilliant actors that, their talent, and the heart they put into the role seems to rub off on the characters and the plot. In his calm and careful presence, Paige suddenly becomes a soft and likable personality, Edvard becomes sarcastic instead of depressed and the bitch of the film seems even bitchier.So, in the end I can say: "The Prince and Me 2" is really a bad film. BUT Jonathan Firth's performance is worth every minute and you have missed something if you haven't seen him in it.

Yes i'm a Dane, and this is why i was almost disgusted watching this movie .. EVERYTHING was awful .. Awful actors, awful plot ... Everything about this movie is horrible. The so called "danish" they are suppose to speak ain't even close to being danish. I doubt its even close to any language. Hulala bale? Where the .... do people say that? This is a insult for any danish citizen and the royal danish family. You would expect that a movie thats suppose to be in another country at least would read up on the country and try and get something right .. The only thing that was right in that movie was that Denmark have a queen ... nothing els .. Im even surprised that they got the flag right at least once in the movie. just to point out a few examples that are to be shown and are so dreadful to watch. First flag of movie is Chezk. number plates again check. no one in Denmark speak with a English accent. the royal guards have red uniform not black. Denmark haven't had monogamy for 5000 years. the queen of Denmark don't write the laws..This movie is so horrible that i would not even spend lighter fluid to burn it..

This was a bad movie!! First of all, I am Norwegian, so I understand danish, and the language Paige speaks in this movie is NOT danish!! I don't know which language she spoke, dutch maybe?? I don't know. And what happened to the actors from the first movie?? The actors in the first movie were great, but in this second movie the girl who play Paige SUCK!! And I hate the plot, don't directors have any imagination?? in this movie >_< nothing was good in this movie, the actors were bad, their clothes, makeup and their hair -_______- I will NOT recommend this movie to anyone!! Stay away from it......

I had the unfortunate experience of viewing the Prince & Me original movie just before the sequel, the Prince & Me 2. The sequel had none of the charm and believability of the first, Whatever on-screen chemistry Julia Stiles and Luke Mably had in the first is completely lacking in the sequel. It's safe to say that Kam Heskin can't act her way out of a paper bag. When the marriage is called off, she's shows as much emotion as one hearing it would rain that day; a momentary contemplation, a shrug and off.The only enjoyable part was seeing how Luke Mably matured from a care-free student to a more serious King of Denmark. As it should be.This movie was completely disappointing, not only in the majority of new actors from the original, but the overall cheesiness of the production. Anyone who viewed Lady Diana Spencer's marriage to Prince Charles knows what a royal wedding looks like. The Prince & Me 2 perhaps paid $99 at David's Bridal for the wedding gown. The church was woefully empty of attendees. Very little pomp and almost no circumstance.One thing that really gnawed at me were Paige's parents, also new actors. They dressed the father well in a very nice suit, but the poor bride's mother looked as if her clothes came from a rubbish bin. Yes, she's a farmer's wife, but believe me, lots of farmers I know have very attractive and well-dressed wives. And how did the parents fly from Podunk, America to Denmark in two hours? The space shuttle? The script was predictable, the actors weren't stretched by any means and, sadly, when needed most of all, Paige was a dud. She had none of the sparkle, determination, honor and depth of character as written in the first film.Others have gone into the historical inaccuracies and blase' treatment of Danish history, but 5,000 years indeed!!! There wasn't even a Denmark 5,000 years ago, much less a monarchy. Were they so low on funds that scene couldn't be re-shot??? If the writer made the mistake, was there no one - producer, director, even an actor - who didn't catch this? The role of Soren, so ably portrayed by Ben Miller, with sly sarcasm and stoic wit, in the original movie, was taken on by Jonathan Firth, the brother of able Colin. Unfortunately, the writing wasn't nearly as clever as the first, and subsequently, left Mr. Firth with nothing to work with.The ball scene was also unbelievable. That a princess of the blood (Kirsten) wouldn't know how to dance? Commmmme onnnnnnnnn. And that an American girl could pull it off flawlessly with no visible training? My suspenders of disbelief were stretched to the max throughout this film, although I stuck it out to the end to give it a chance.Best thing about the movie? The horses, purebloods all, unlike the actors.
