Kam Heskin is a pretty talented actress who was a good choice as a replacement for Julia Stiles, but there was very little chemistry between Kam and Luke Mably(Prince Edvard). Luke Mably is a great actor, but I couldn't help noticing that he seemed bored throughout the movie-and in several parts you can see him looking to the side, obviously reading his lines. I was surprised at that.

The movie's plot was okay, Paige and Eddie are starting to feel the pressures of living up to royal expectations. I like the fact that in the start of the movie, it shows Paige attending medical school in Denmark, it shows she didn't give up her dreams of being a doctor.

Umm. How does it start. Oh the only original cast member was the dude that plays Prince Edward! Disappointing storyline. And dreadful acting!Why could they have not begged Julia Stiles to come back???????? And the guy that plays prince Eddie is not even that adorable anymore!!! I mean this was a extremely low budget film! Now I now the exact reason why this went straight to video! Oh and a small problem with the storyline! I mean come on at least try to get the original former kinga nd queen of denmark back! Also they totally forgot about his little sister. They just acted like he was a only child! She was not even mentioned once!

I kinda liked the plot of the movie, but what makes the movie so awful is the characters. The new girl that played Paige was more dressy and preppy, and Julia she was more down to earth laid back kind of girl. I'm so disappointed in the movie. All expect for Prince Edward were all different characters. If your going to make a sequel to a movie at least have the same people or don't make a sequel at all. There are just to many movies that don't have the same characters as the first movie. I was so excited when I heard that the movie was coming out. The poster that they have for the movie looked like Julia and on the cover of the DVD. I'm sorry I wouldn't buy this movie.

Dear me, I think I was not very happy when I saw this sequel! What can I say kindly? Although the movie was funny, slapstick, and lighthearted, it felt like it lacked much depth of feeling and lacked the more timeless quality of the careful acting and writing and siting of the first version. It was too hurried, and unrealistic; a number of the characters were "plastic" and lacked depth in their development. It's as if someone took the characters in the first movie and put them on a faster time machine, with all that fast talk. It just didn't seem real.

The ultimate anguished moment for me was that the end was too hurried in parts it should not have been, crazy and simply not believable - especially the muted, smiling "parents" - who lacked the depth of the original parents - the kind you can really relate to, not the wax-faced figures that seemed to "appear". The characters were not developed well, although the father in this movie did seem to be a very good actor in his expression of words.

How did the plot evolve? The depth of the characters (except for Luke), clarity of the scenes and plot and the acting was all off-key to me. I apologize for having to be negative, as I like to encourage, but it was just so disappointing! Upon reflection, I think I was shocked and made quite angry to find most of the original cast gone, so great to the first movie. When the original actors are not reused - the immediate thing that happens in my mind is comparing and trying to figure out if this character is really supposed to be the one I saw before - and realizing how different they are, and not in a good way....which takes away from the movie and its plot. I think it must be a reflexive action to do so, and had the original actors been used, it might have had a small chance...

I kept wanting to see the real Soren (although his replacement was good - but too hurried)- what a great character and actor the original Soren is! as well as Julia Stiles and her parents and brothers and his real mother, the Queen (she played it so beautifully, timing was there in her words and actions, as were all the actors in the original cast) and where was the Prince's sweet sister????? It was so sadly not there.....they were so great together in the original movie, so well written and so in-depth with serious issues and real love....you could feel the chemistry betwenn all the actors in the first one.

Had this second movie been done on its own and not as a sequel, it would have happily landed on its feet as a funny farce. But it went into the mud with the Norwegian "Princess", in my book! What happened? Is there any way, any way at all to redo the movie with the original writers, staff, actors, etc? It needs to be done - I would really like to see this plot modified and redone - a really well-done, in-depth romance! Thank you for listening!

I just saw this movie, and as a Dane, I'm offended and disappointed. It was just so... bad! The plot seemed unoriginal, the cast was .. well, disappointing, and what happened to Paige's hair? Movie 1 it was brown and straight, but now it's unnaturally curly and blond? And the actor? Kam Heskin? Not really...

But what I had the biggest problem with was that this was supposed to be about a Danish prince, and that most of the movie is supposed to take place in Denmark, yet there were no Danish actors (in the first there was at least one), and the actors who where supposed to be Danish couldn't even speak Danish properly, and they almost didn't speak the language at all! I know Danish is a hard language to learn and to speak, the Queen of Denmark's husband doesn't even speak it that well after many years in Denmark, but then you need to employ at least A FEW Danes, instead of just teaching the actors a few words.

Most of the characters' names weren't good either. I don't know if the writer researched Denmark or Norway and Sweeden when finding names, but names like Rosalind and Edward are very rare, and not exactly typical royal names. Harald is not common either, at least not in Denmark. One of our princes' is name Felix! Joachim! Christian! Frederik! I have a whole list of this that seem wrong about the movie from a Danish perspective, I just needed to vent a few.

It just really annoys me that they couldn't take the time to make an effort. I heard the first movie was inspired by the love story of our future king and queen, Frederik and Mary, and in that case, I'm offended on behalf of the royal Danish family.

Gads, that movie was bad.

This is THE most horrible movie I have ever seen. I know, I know, I probably have better chances at spotting obvious locational goofs, but seriously. THAT IS A CZECH FLAG IN THE BEGINNING ON THE ROYAL BUILDING (or whatever it was)! But come on people! 4/10 ?! I'm disgusted. The plot is so thin it's crazy. Not to mention the acting! But seriously, the research done before this film is hilarious. Denmark is presented as a kind of royal dictatorship. At some point, and ancient law is brought out from our ancient royal library. Actually, it's 5000 years old.....Becaaaause, we even had writing, laws, let alone a king at the time?! I could go on and on about this nauseating piece of.....argh!! damn that swear filter! Seriously, though, if you REALLY want a shocking movie experience, watch one of the pirated Chinese DVDs with "Engrish" subtitles. That'll render you utterly incapable of understanding what this movie is about.

Have a nice day and do NOT watch this unless you really like bad movies.

This sequel, which appears to have been released direct to DVD, has a plot that seems strongly influenced by "King Ralph" and "Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement". All of the principals except Luke Mably are new, so any Julia Stiles fans are likely to experience some disappointment. These things said, the film is quite viewable aside from some sound reproduction problems at times. Page Morgan isn't in Wisconsin any more, and has lost some of the single-minded focus on practicing medicine in the Third World, but remains likable. Prince (now King) Eddie is still likable, but probably a bit too indecisive at times to be a believable king. BTW, as is apparent from the flags (white over red bands with a triangular dark blue canton at the fly) flying from one of the buildings in the opening sequence, the production was filmed in the Czech Republic rather than in Denmark. For me,this was a very watchable flick.

I must concur with the previous reviewer the only saving grace in this movie is Luke Mably who once again does a fine job portraying Edvard of Denmark. Kam Heskin who plays Paige Morgan is just plain awful from the Shirley Temple hairstyle, the over the top facial expressions, and the hideous wardrobe. The original film while considered fluff by many at least had some wonderful chemistry between the leads whereas there is zilch between Luke and Kam. The only other character worth mentioning is Zoren and I thought Jonathan Firth did an admirable job. Maryam D'Abo's Queen Rosalind is flat and wooden and King Harald is now bald and sports a beard. Even worse is the couple who portray Paige's parents (look more like her grandparents). I cannot fathom why they chose to turn this sequel into such a screwball comedy.

I would have to say this movie was more realistic than the first one. I love both though because it's just your regular love story like Cinderella. If you like fairy tales this one is one of them. Yes there are many out there, but hey that's what we love. This second part is more about leading up to the wedding and things that happen right before it. It happens everyday and stress can cause heap, but in the end LOVE always prevails right?... I would say this is a chic flick but my husband loved both movies as well. It's a really cute story and was worth the rental price. Edvard (Malby) is of course an Adonis. I do have to admit that I was disappointed that they switched girls on him, but I must say Kam Heskin fit the part in the second movie than Julia stiles would have.

i just watched this movie last night and i was very very disappointed, what happened to the original cast? this kam heskin actress is no good n this movie,she acts very awkward and seems out of line always,i cant feel inspired. Why are they messing up with this movie it seems this is a very low budget movie. The original cast are all marvelous why are they replaced? The only thing that i will watched this movie is Luke Mably who seems not happy also doing this.Why are they turning this movie into a joke. All the things showed here are all disappointing except for Luke who still perform a great job. I will rate this movie negative.

Absolutely Horrible! Where to start? I wanted to turn off the movie from about 10 minutes in but I keep watching, hoping the movie would get better but it just got worst. All the characters are new actors except Luke Malby. I was really disappointed by the new actors of both Soren, Paige and the Queen. Paige was just too fru fu for the Paige that was introduced during the first one. Soren acted way too serious then tried being the comedic relief. But it just didn't work. And the queen wasn't mean enough when Paige screwed up as she did in the first movie. The acting is bad, the story line is bad and even the handsome prince is ugly. The whole budget seems to be about $100 because the clothes were cheap looking and the hair and makeup was horrible. I absolutely hated the way that they did Paige's hair in the movie. Luke Mably comes across as a whiny snob of a prince that was the complete opposite of the guy everyone liked in the first movie. DO NOT EVEN WASTE TIME PICKING UP THE MOVIE OFF THE SHELF!!!!

Like I said, my friend and I decided to watch The Prince and Me and The Prince and Me 2 back to back to see what they were like. While, the second Prince and Me started off fairly like a sweet movie, it turned from a teen audience into a little girl's fantasy world. Especially more like a typical Disney princess flick that was unbelievable and I couldn't take seriously, even for a little kid.

It takes off where Paige is now in Denmark and is learning the language, the culture, and the perks of being a queen, including the paparazzi stalking her 24-7. She's also studying still to become a doctor. Edvard is working hard as well to become a good king and is doing the best he can to contain a good king image. But when an old childhood royal friend, Kirsten, gets in the way of the relationship believing that it should only be royalty who becomes king and queen... you can take off with the rest of the plot.

The new girl who played Paige was totally unbelievable as a workaholic study bug, and didn't have the same presence and grace as Julia Styles. The guy who played the prince actually looked irritated to play the role again, I think he knew that this film was a mistake. Oh, well, for the little 5 year old girls who love fairy tales, this is the film for them, let's just pray they don't make a third installment, otherwise with all the making out these two do, it'll be a porno.

1/10

All I wanted to say is that if the story is not good enough for the original actors/actresses to play in this sequel, then why is it even worth your time in watching it. Think about it, they would get a pay check for acting in this movie, but their thinking that this movie is a load of garbage and would not want to ruin there career's by being seen in it. So what makes you think that it is even worth your time watching it when it wasn't worth the actors/actresses time getting paid to be in it?

Unfortunately, I did not see who was playing in this movie before renting it. It only took me about 10 minutes before the DVD was ejected from my player. If I had continued to watch this travesty, it could have scarred the original in my mind. Don't make the same oversight that I did.

Edvard (Luke Mably), the young king of Denmark, is set to marry USA commoner Paige in a month or so. Paige, meanwhile, is not only preparing for a wedding but cramming for medical examinations in her quest to become the first physician-queen. Unfortunately, the king of Norway wants to intervene. He is a bankrupt spendthrift who, nevertheless, finds an old Danish law that says Edvard can only marry royal blood. Edvard is not concerned, as the law is ancient, and he orders his underlings to find a way around the law. Yet, the king of Norway brings his young and beautiful daughter, Kristen, to the Danish palace, complicating things. Also, Paige is photographed repeatedly committing silly faux pas, in an attempt to make her unpopular, something Kristen may have a hand in. With all of this turmoil, will there be a happy ending for Paige and Edvard? This is a nice little sequel to the first film. The principal actors are very attractive and winning and the supporting cast quite adequate. The setting is lovely, as Denmark and the royal palaces are very eye-catching. Add to that the nice costumes and you have a film that looks engaging. Perhaps the plot is a bit silly but most romcom fans will embrace it as a duck takes to water. Aren't most funny love stories a bit zany anyways? For those who liked the first film and adore romance movies, do try to find this sequel. It is good, clean fun and, although slight, the movie will enchant its target audience very well.

This movie at first was a clear but now is a difficult case for me. Like probably all people who see this film for the first time, I saw "The Prince and Me" first and this second film is way worse than the first film.

The major problem, of course, is that they exchanged almost all of the main cast. This makes it difficult to identify with the story and the characters. Also, it is very obviously that Luke Mably really didn't want to be in this one (and I can understand why he didn't).

The plot is thin, Paige is annoying, Edvard looks repulsed most of the time, and all the other characters are just ridiculous.

That was a while ago. In the meantime I have seen the film about three times. On my free will. What did change my mind? Simple: It was one actor. Jonathan Firth. In my opinion, he is the most elegant, sweet and sensitive character in this film. A real joy to watch. And basically the reason you like watching the whole film in the end.

Because it seems with brilliant actors that, their talent, and the heart they put into the role seems to rub off on the characters and the plot. In his calm and careful presence, Paige suddenly becomes a soft and likable personality, Edvard becomes sarcastic instead of depressed and the bitch of the film seems even bitchier.

So, in the end I can say: "The Prince and Me 2" is really a bad film. BUT Jonathan Firth's performance is worth every minute and you have missed something if you haven't seen him in it.

So this isn't the best film of the year. It was still enjoyable, and the acting wasn't as bad as some people would have us believe. Julia Stiles was much better as Paige, and had more chemistry with Luke Mably, but I still found this enjoyable. (And yes, I noticed the "Princess Diaries 2" similarities, but how many variations on a theme can you get?) I didn't rent it expecting an Oscar-worthy film, I just wanted a good old chick flick. I wanted to lose myself in a fairy tale, and I did. If you know what kind of movie you're watching and don't expect greatness, you may well enjoy it.

My biggest problem was that the legal scholars in Denmark are all pretty dumb, if this movie is to be believed. The writers could've used a bit of brush-ups in the history department, too.

Luke Mably may not have been enthusiastic about this movie, but I think he carried it. He showed a more mature Edvard, and I am not an acting scholar but I found his performance enjoyable.

Even just going by the trailer, the lead actor seems like he wants a bullet in the head for being part of this tripe.

Do some research people. You gotta love Hollywood taking liberties with everything. I guess they think there is no one out there who knows anything about Denmark. I'm not even Danish but I know that one prince is married to someone who is not Danish, she is from Austalia , they were married in 2004, so the entire story line is unbelievable. And also, speeding around the streets of Denmark like the prince (or king as they called him) was, he would have probably hit one of the hundreds or thousands of bicyclists that ride in Copopenhagen everyday. 10 minutes of research would've helped this film a lot, But the again the acting was so brutal, they could've used the Library of Congress and still made a horrible film.
