Movie Info
For the second time in her career, Julia Stiles plays a character romancing the Crown Prince of Denmark in The Prince & Me, a romantic wish-fulfillment fantasy from director Martha Coolidge. Far from her role as Ophelia in 2000's Hamlet, however, Stiles plays Paige, a plucky, determined college student from the Midwest who's buried in her last few semesters of pre-med studies when she meets Eddie, a brash, impudent Danish foreign-exchange student who just happens to have a mysterious partner

Paige eventually comes to a self-affirming decision, but the Danish interlude succeeds too well in making us feel her boredom.
Top Critic... thumbs down for me ...
Nothing is new about the movie's premise, but it is entertaining all the same.
Bland and immediately disposable.
Even its pre-teen audience could use a bit more quirkiness and a little less formula.
The sound you hear is the death rattle of the women's movement.
Good acting saves unoriginal Cinderella story.
...generally remains a cut above the majority of its contemporary romcom brethren - with the dreaded fake break-up handled particularly well (the second fake break-up is kind of pushing it, though).
A Royal Letdown.
the script and Martha Coolidge direction are so play-it-safe formulaic that the film lacks fairy-tale luster. It's as predictable as an Elvis movie-without the music.
As pleasing as The Prince & Me can be, director Martha Coolidge's film delivers nothing to advance the genre.
Julia Stiles is sweet in this charming, but unfulfilling, rom-com.
This attempt at a modern-day Cinderella story is about as PC as a Career Girl Barbie and disappoints due to poor structure, flimsy characterisation and insufficient wit to distract from the above.
A woeful and predictable outing for Cinders and an impossibly twitty prince
A shallow exercise in wish-fulfilment that wants to have its royal wedding cake and eat it too.
A mocinha não precisava ser Ph.D em Dramaturgia, é claro, mas tampouco deveria ser retratada como alguém com Q.I. inferior ao de Forrest Gump.
Pure fairy tale, but it's also charming enough to win us over in the end.
Coolidge wisely works within the confines of the romantic comedy genre and delivers a quality experience.
It's exactly the kind of movie you want it to be. Rent it with your best girlfriends on a blustery spring afternoon.
To wed or not to wed, that is the royal question. You won't need to know Shakespeare to guess the answer, only Hollywood.
Director Martha Coolidge brings us a wonderful romantic comedy.
Cinderella for households where Mom and Dad both work.
Their romance has the delightful walking-in-another-person's-shoes ambience of the 1953 Gregory Peck-Audrey Hepburn classic Roman Holiday
Note to American screenwriters: The whole world isn't as mammary mad as the U.S. Some people have actually seen breasts -- and not just on half-time shows with Janet Jackson.
Julia Stiles is adorable, and she's very easy to empathize with
...a dry and brittle comedy...
