Brooke D'Orsay has been one of my favorites for a while now. I think part of the reason was her innocent appearance and characters that fit that innocence. Well not this Charlotte.
I do not like royal stories. I also do not like stories that involve one or both characters having a lie. I can usually tolerate a lie of omission where one character doesn't own a famous identity. This story is the opposite. One character falsely owns the identity of a Count. Another character owns the identity of a respected journalist. Both chose to maintain deception. So my rating reflects that. Hopefully my observations are objective.
The acting is good. D'Orsay and Will Kemp are veterans of this type of movie. They have good chemistry. They reflect the discomfort of their lies and a growing desire to be honest. The dialogue is also good as is the rest of the script. There are some interesting and sometimes funny situations.
Once all the pieces are in place, the story is predictable. Some will say there is a twist at the end, but I saw it coming for a while.
I think many viewers who do not have my discomfort over the deception in the story will find the movie enjoyable.
