C'era una volta un principe

The story is pretty much what you would expect.

What does set this apart is the fact that the movie avoids all the most of the cringeworthy moments of other movies in the genre.

The Queen and the long time girlfriend don't descend into hyperbole very often, the prince himself isn't a complete moron, and no one overdoes the royal pantomime too much.

Add in some slightly above average one liners, a better quality cast than normal (most of them seem to have some meatier roles on their resume) and a bit of chemistry between the leads, and you have a solid 8 from me.

It is complete trash, but it is high quality complete trash.

The story is predictable yet you would enjoy it. I am a fan of princess movies and this movie has all the royal touches including a Royal Coronation, A royal Ball and a Cambodian Prince falling in love with a common girl of America. I also loved the happy and joyful family Susanna has in the movie, such a loving sister. So, yeah the bonding between the characters can actually be felt. lastly, this is one of those kinda movie where dreams do come true. Enjoy it.

I like plots where the situation causes the tension rather than the characters' meddling so the first part of this one was fine. However I'm exhausted from overbearing mother movies and couldn't make it to the end. Public life is not an easily-solved fairytale and the sooner movies stop depicting the Disney Princess format, the better.

Once upon a Prince is a TV movie starring Megan Park and Johnathan Lutz and tells the story of a florist named Suzanne who's just broken up with her boyfriend who she thought was gonna propose to her. One day Suzanne ends up with a flat tyre and a handsome man named Nate(Lutz) comes to her rescue and the two are smitten. As it turns out Nate is really a prince who travelled to the states to clear his head only to fall in love with Suzanne. But when Nate's mother finds out that Nate is in love with an American woman will Suzanne end up with Nate in the end of the film?

Bottom line this 2018 TV romantic tale is very predictable but it was a cute fairy-tale movie. It has the same premise as the Julia Stiles film The Prince & Me where an English prince(well Denmark but the dude has an English accent) falls for an American woman who dreams big and neither of them know(Paige and Suzanne)that there would be love interests are princes.

If you are looking for a movie that will lift your spirits and you love movies where ordinary women are whisked away on their feet by a charming handsome prince,then you will love this film.

Decent film

Another prince movie! So many of the plot points seem similar to the last prince movie I saw, right down to the queen doing everything she could to embarrass the usurper American. And once again the climax is a royal ball. And several other similarities. Are these movies written using a template?

The positives of this movie are Megan Park and Jonathan Keltz. They make an extremely cute couple. Megan Park does an excellent job as sweet and humble girl. She struggles with the insecurities of her relatively humble position in the world of royalty, yet somehow she doesn't lose her inner confidence and identity. Jonathan Keltz is commanding and confident. I can totally believe him as prince and king. He refuses to cave in to pressure. Sara Botsford as the Queen is intimidating but not cruel, nor is the rival Ginny. All in all, despite the fact that the story is cookie cutter, I found it to be executed in much better fashion.

Perhaps the last scene stands out as well.
