Un cœur de princesse

I have to say I enjoyed royal hearts. Is it stupid, yes. Has this been done before, yes. I know it is awful, but I could not help myself.

I would say the best way to describe the movie as King Ralph, mixed with the Princess Diaries II, and the Beverly Hillbillies episodes where Jed was an Earl.

One of my favorite part of the movie is the party scenes and how the extras looked and acted in the back ground. I also enjoyed the earnest of all the characters in light of the absolutely insipid plot and dialogue.

However, I would recommend to those of us who like the Hallmark genre to watch this once, you will enjoy it.

My wife and I watched this movie at home on DVD from our public library. It is one of three movies on one disc, a collection called "Royal Wedding Collection". The other two movies feature Meghan Markle.

James Brolin, probably 76 or 77 during filming, is Hank Pavlik, very content on his Montana ranch. But he gets news that he has inherited some property in Europe and his arm is twisted to make him go see it.

As it turns out the property is a very small country and he is now their King. At first he doesn't want any part of it but then finds out the people there need some help. Plus the neighbouring equally small kingdom is hatching a plan to acquire them. Plus he meets a lady bartender who likes fishing as well as he does.

The other side story is very typical of Hallmark movies, Hank's very single and very attractive daughter is pursued by two men, one that we can all see is wrong for her, the other we can all see would be ideal for her, and she has to juggle their attention until she figures it all out.

Just a lightweight but entertaining and enjoyable rom-com. Brolin is very good, a lesser actor could not have made it as interesting as he did.

If it wasn't for the dad, I would have turned this off within the first 10 minutes. The actress who plays kelly is exactly the same in everything I have seen her in, naive, annoying, and talks far too much. She was very misleading and manipulative towards her dad at the start of the movie. The cowboy like dad was great! He stole every scene and had the best acting in this movie. Wish there was more shots of the beautiful landscape!

I really liked the cowboy to king story. I recommend it. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 11/20/2020

If you don't like love and romance, simply don't watch the Hallmark channel movies. It's sad that some of those out there are so unhappy with their own lives, they have to be haters.
