The Prince And Me

This by-the-book banality that took a clan of screenwriters to generate should have been titled The Prince and Hopefully Not Me. Baby-faced Julia Stiles stars as the slumming Ms. Podunk of Wisconsin. She drives a dusty pickup truck and aspires to be a top-notch doctor. However, when the future king of Denmark (Luke Malby) flees to the United States in pursuit of his American Dream of all-night parties with slutty super models, the hopes of little Ms. Perfect are flipped upside down. Despite the painful lack of chemistry, the unlikely couple decides to follow the predictability of the overused Cinderella story with determination. The two fly to Copenhagen to become the awkward new Danish monarchy, even though the current king and queen hold unsurprising reservations. Stiles’ cutesy characteristics and Malby’s rebel-without-a-crown impersonation aren’t enough to save director Martha Coolidge’s delusion of grandeur in Hollywood.
