Critic Reviews

  • Ed Park, Village Voice

    Paige eventually comes to a self-affirming decision, but the Danish interlude succeeds too well in making us feel her boredom.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    ... thumbs down for me ...

  • Sara Gebhardt, Washington Post

    Nothing is new about the movie's premise, but it is entertaining all the same.

  • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

    Bland and immediately disposable.

  • Claudia Puig, USA Today

    Even its pre-teen audience could use a bit more quirkiness and a little less formula.

    I just didn't get it. Not princessy enough for me (barely any scenes in the royal palace!), but not high school enough either. It's just a lot of Julia Stiles rehashing 10 Things I Hate About You and that other dude not being as charming as Heath Ledger.

    Another stock story - this one about a girl-from-the-farm falling in love with a prince-in-hiding. The prince asks her to marry him, but she does not want to live an inconsequential life being hounded by paparazzi, so she goes home -- and you know how it will end.

  • Jon L


    Funny. Missed the beginning, but it was entertaining. A little corney but, not over the top. It was what I expected.
