petrawaarden Why just why make a sequel with an other actress? Personally I just love Julia Stiles and how she can carry out an entire movie. Off course the first movie isn't a specific jewel, but it can entertain you for an evening.The second movie has an even worse scenario, the prince and the student need to get married, but someone will stand in the way. The question is how will this end, who will get married? Beside a bad script the acting doesn't stand out either. There are some nice and enjoyable moments in the movie which can make you smile but the ending is so far fetched (and off course very easily found) that you get left behind feeling cheated on. Part 3 and 4 I do not dare to even think about watching...

Claire While I truly enjoyed the first movie, this one stinks, I mean really stinks. The only returning character is the guy playing King Edvard - everybody else ran a mile when they saw the scripts for this, what a joke and a bad one at that. Where is the continuation of the story? why is the father alive and well when he was dying in the first movie which is why the prince couldn't have a normal life and had to come home to save the monarchy. It really is abysmal when you get morons making a sequel (and heaven forbid a third instalment, this time the actor playing Edvard has gone and is played by someone else again) which they proceed to ruin completely. Did they not see the 1st movie, were they unaware it is a sequel and understand what a sequel is - a continuation????? No, they did not. How these fools ever get the money to make rubbish like this is beyond me. It tarnishes the memory of how good the 1st movie was, what a shame the fools who made this couldn't even be bothered to do it right.

amitoosh-1 OK, i just finished watching the whole movie. let me start by saying that my love for Julia stiles has nothing to do with it. the first movie rocked. it was funny, interesting and had clever humor. Paige was just that really cool girl that we all wanted to know, who had a life of her own and hobbies of her own and did not really NEED the prince, but in the second film she is portrayed as some dumb blonde bimbo. they didn't make her as "normal" (maybe common) as in the first film, they also made her completely dependent on the prince- having no hobbies other than him. even her dream to be a doctor seemed to be pushed aside. luckily, it wasn't completely brushed under the rug, like say.. the Prince's little sister! um yeah, not mentioned once in the second movie. and WHAT is up with that ugly hairdo? it's like, they didn't just change the actress, they changed the whole person. i couldn't see an ounce of the old Paige in the second movie. how very disappointing. Anyway, i just read that they're making a 3rd movie, to which i would advise them not to. they've gone over all the things they could, taking a new and original idea (the whole college guy turning out to be a prince thing) and turned it into some cheap tween-ager Disney movie. there's nothing to be saved, they should just give up before they invest money and time in any more dumb ideas.in conclusion, i hope you understood that you should not expect anything from this movie. it does not remotely remind me of any bit of the first film.

thirdsqurl Once again those doing the remake have ignored the qualities that made the first film successful. Gone is the perky farmer's daughter that everyone loved, replaced by a Las Vegas showgirl with bad make-up dressed like a hooker. Where is the charm in that? This actress does such a bad job of portraying an aspiring doctor that you need to wonder what the writer and director were thinking. Maybe they should stick to movies about cutie pie bimbos instead because they clearly have no idea how to portray an intelligent woman. The young king is still likable but every other character is miscast. They royals aren't royal,the Wisconsin parents look like they've never seen a farm in their life, and the villains are mere clowns. Whatever cleverness the original script may have had was gone by the time it was watered down into a generic formula. This movie is a disappointment from beginning to end.
