Great Film: The Prince & Me
a fun trifle...
This film is a rather light and enjoyable trifle and it does have a
very fine performance from Julia Stiles, some very pretty scenery
(Prague standing in for Copenhagen), and Miranda Richardson (as the
Prince's mom).
There is a certain irony to the whole film given that the real Crown
Prince of Denmark, HKH Kronprins Frederik, married a commoner from a
far flung place...in fact my home country Australia in 2004. (Which has
resulted in every Australian becoming an expert on Danish royalty!)
But back to the film ...the girl meets boy, girl hates boy, boy falls
for girl, girl falls for boy, is as old a story as there is but the
film does manage to tell its story with some refreshing touches.
Paige's girlfriends are a great collection and the the Prince's valet
is very funny.
By no means a great film but enjoyable way to waste two hours.
But just don't expect to learn anything about modern monarchy in
Denmark!!!
