"Red, White & Royal Blue" is one of the best book adaptations I've ever seen. At first, when they showed who would play Henry and Alex, I thought that Taylor Perez wouldn't be anything like Alex, and that the characters wouldn't have any chemistry between them, but when I saw loose scenes on TikTok and watched the movie, I saw that they have chemistry between them, so I started to act as if I had never judged the chosen actors.
Having read the book almost two years ago, I don't remember all the parts in the book, but some are missing from the movie, like the turkey scene (I know it's in the movie, but in the book it's much funnier, since in the movie it doesn't last very long), and also the scene where Henry's mother makes the queen (who becomes king in the movie) abdicate the throne. There are also characters who aren't in the movie or who have been changed, like June, Alex's sister, who doesn't appear in the movie, and Oscar, who is still married to Ellen in the movies.
Anyways, I think the movie is very good, even if I missed a few scenes. I think that if they wanted to make an adaptation with more scenes and details that are contained in the book, they could have made a miniseries, or maybe one day release the movie uncut, since the original is 3 hours long. I hope there will be a second movie or a short film in the future, if possible.
