Heavenly cheesy
15 August 2023
Some movies I'm ashamed to have seen. And probably that would have been the case with this film, too, if it had been a straight story. But it isn't. The incredible improbability of the son of the US President falling for the Prince of Cambridge - and vice versa - makes this a fairy tale from the start, which of course ends well and has at least one irresistibly charming and GOOD-looking leading man. That the chemistry between the two was not the best, I quickly overlooked and enjoyed more the dialogues and the fact that I just got a good mood. The world in this film is just too perfect, the backgrounds too CGI and that's exactly why I was just happy after 2 hours. I could also laugh several times at Sarah Shahi, who is an absolute asset to this production. More of her please, she has immense comic talent. Sure - the film is not a milestone in film history, but it makes life a little bit nicer in these bad times and hits exactly the right political notch, which threatens to divide a country like the USA, if a criminal should become president again.
