6/10
Derivative, but pleasant
26 May 2006
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.
