The Prince & Me
The Prince and Me,I really loved this. Luke Mably is such a handsome prince! They have great chemistry with Julia Stiles. I love this movie because they didn't make it seem like the usual and boring fairytale happy ending kind of movie. I like the way how the two leads met. Prince Edvard played by Luke Mably is the Crown Prince of Denmark. To escape his overbearing princely duties and from the eyes of the Danish paparazzis, he went to Wisconsin as an exchange student. There he meets Paige, a local farm girl studying at the University of Wisconsin. Eddie or Prince Edvard have mistaken Paige as one of the girls he saw on tv who's taking their clothes off. Despite the not so good first meeting, circumstances tend to bring them together. When Eddie first came to his Chemistry class, he sat beside Paige and unintentionally they're going to be lab partners.
But as things take its turn, Eddie finds himself helping Paige in her Literature class and Paige was helping him to be just like anybody else despite not knowing that he is a prince. During Thanksgiving, Paige invited Eddie to spend the week. Surprisingly, her parents and brothers welcome Eddie as a family. He gets along with his brother specially when he won the lawn mower race cause he fixed their lawn mower and made it faster. Paige, in a state of denial doesn't want to be bothered by his obvious chemistry with Eddie. Before going back they made out
( just kiss).
As they went back to school, their feelilngs toward each other started getting deeper. But until she found out that he was a real prince when the Danish paparazzis came snapping pictures of them at the library while the're kissing. Edvard suddenly needs to get back to Denmark for his ailing father. Paige soon follows him there and they are set to marry. But before she could be crowned Queen, she broke off the engagement and went back to Wisconsin.
On her graduation, she was surprised to see Edvard there. He asked her to marry him and was willing to wait for her.
What made this movie so romantic was the obvious chemistry between the two. They also both played their roles very well. I have to say that they did great with the casting. And tha location was great, even though they didn't actually shot in Denmark but in Prague. But most of all, I am so in love with the story. It's still a fairytale with a better new twist.One of the great finds in romantic movies.
