A Royal in Paradise

You heard me! Nuance and subtlety in a romance movie. Every time I thought this thing was going to go down that very very familiar road, it's somehow pulled itself out of the morass. Is there a prince in disguise? Is there a girl and a deadline? Absolutely! But the movie is also an excuse to show some really beautiful nature photography especially the kind underwater -which one you consider this is supposed to be about a nature preserve makes total sense. The secondary leads are both very winning, even the Royals as much as they could be a pain in your thigh, turn out to be, well, sort of endearing. Is there a happy ending? Is this a rom-com? Yes, and yes. Rhiannon Fish does her usual broadness, which works fine here. On the other hand, Mitchell Bourke doesn't absolutely imperatively good job. His wistfulness about his dead father actually pulled feelings from me. He has that sort of dignity one expects of a prince, plus he gets a shirt off a lot. He is literally acres and acres of pretty. I certainly am looking forward to more films starring him. Give it a chance, it is after all on Freevee. It is more than a good use of your time, but a relaxing and lovely to look at view.

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!

I enjoyed this movie. I liked the story and think it really worked. But I agree with the other reviewer. There was too much cleavage going on with the lead actress and her BFF. I know they had to dress them for the island life but there was a snorkeling scene where lead actress wore a low cut swimsuit that barely kept her bosom covered. The BFF also showed as much if not more cleavage. I for sure thought there would be a wardrobe malfunction! However in the scenes where that was not a wardrobe distraction, I thought the actors performed well, even the deadbeat ex-boyfriend. Overall I felt the characters really evolved as the story went on. This led to a pretty good ending. All loose ends were tied up. Just the way I like it.
