A Royal in Paradise

Your typical commoner girl (this time a writer with writer's block) recently dumped and a "typical" prince who happen to meet on this beautiful marine preserve and the rest is predictable. This movie has a slightly different bent in which the reveal happens earlier than usual and the resulting dilemma takes more time to resolve while the writer is confronted with more of a intellectual problem than usual. The scenery is gorgeous, and the pacing is competently presented. For those interested in the by now well-used rom-com story with a little more bite, this movie has all elements that romantics have come to expect and a tad bit more.

As an author, I'm always intrigued when they include a character in these movies who is also an author. Sadly, they very seldom make enough of that, and that's the case here. It would be interesting to get more of "the story of the story" on screen, instead of simply having the character be blocked and then suddenly they can write again because they got happier.

The first half of the movie is better than the second half, and that's not unusual in these made for cable romances, either. As the characters meet and get to know each other, the story is lively and at times amusing. After they get to know each other and things settle in, I thought it got kind of boring.

And of course, they HAD to throw in the "Queen wants to crush the romance" trope. Haven't we seen that time and again over the last decade?

I just found the movie randomly on youtube and started watching it without knowing its plot and everything. At the end, I really liked it and was excited for its 2nd part.

The hero is so handsome, totally looked like a Prince Charming that we know from fairytales. The story was good, though little dramatic. Also the ending was expected too, but still I enjoyed the overall flow of the story.

The locations selected for shootingg were beautiful, and the actors acted well too; looked very natural and not just acting.

Kinda reminded me how difficult life is for the royals, though we commoners might think they have the best life. With all those rules, expectations, no privacy etc. - life isn't like a cake for them either.

I really liked this movie! Typical? Yes! But who cares? That's not why I'm watching it! The location was breathtaking! I love Rhiannon Fish! She was fantastic as always! Newcomer to the romcom scene, Mitchell Bourke, was awesome! Supporting cast? Fabulous! The queen was a tad over the top with her speech - to an uncomfortable level, in my opinion. (Not the actress, just the writing). I want a movie to whisk me away and dream a little..this one did just that! I will rewatch it again and again. It was sweet, I loved the friendships showcased and I loved the slight changes to the norm on some of the typical romcom stuff!
