Der Prinz & ich - Königliche Flitterwochen

Paige and Edvard go on their honeymoon. In an attempt to avoid paparazzi and have some privacy, they secretly change their destination and happen on a plot that the prime minister has to get reelected. A past boyfriend of Paige's shows up (conveniently) and threatens the trust that the couple shares in an attempt to distract and discredit them so the prime ministers plan can go through. Will Paige and Edvard save Batlavia? The first Prince and Me was the best of the franchise. While this movie is cute, it is a typical sequel when a franchise tries to keep a story line going. The only time a sequel works, besides a good story line, is using the same actors with the same chemistry. While there is some consistency, it is always disappointing and gives the movie a "B" rated feeling. (especially when it doesn't go to theaters). It is cute and if you liked the second one, you'll like this one. I still prefer the original.

New Queen Paige (Kam Heskin) has just been married to her handsome, Danish King Edvard (Chris Geere). The romance between the American medical student and her prince-turned-king is finally fully committed. Now its time for the honeymoon, of course. But, the original plans to travel to a warm island has Paige in some sadness, for its near the holidays and she, from Wisconsin, is used to a white Christmas. Sensing her mood, Edvard surprises her by whisking her off to a fictitious, unspoiled little Scandinavian country instead. It's heaven. There is skiing, tall fir trees and togetherness. Alas, the new prime minister under Eddie is secretly wicked and has been planning to spoil the tiny country's landscape with mining. And, no one informed him of the honeymoon's changed venue, either. Afraid that the king will find out what he has been up to, the PM sends a former, Yankee boyfriend of Paige to the country to distract them. It works, in part, for Scott talks up a storm and turns up wherever the couple goes. But, is it too big a deception to hide? Maybe! Then, too, Ed gets somewhat concerned that Scott may be trying to woo his bride away from him! Is he? Maybe again! Ho, ho, ho, what have we here? This is a nice third installment to a truly wonderful series. Heskin is a spunky beauty and Geere, who replaces the original Ed for the first time, has a nice look and manner. The rest of the cast is also quite wonderful, especially the gentleman playing the evil minister. Then, the scenery is so gorgeous that you want to hop on a plane while the costumes, story and direction are absolutely worthy of praise. Are you a big fan of the series that began with the Julia Stiles original movie? You are in for a royal treat, then, as you will undoubtedly take a shine to film number three.
