My dear f***ing prince

From my point of view, this movie portrays not only the essence of love and everything that it brings with it, a little bit of happiness, a little bit of sadness, a little bit of fear, as well as insecurity and doubts, questioning and finding one's true self, especially when two cannot be together for any reasons ... but as well all the importance that people from the immediate environment have on an individual's life , benevolent ones, like parents and friends in this case, but also the malicious ones ...

Highly recommended to watch, more than once, if you want to notice all the finesse that the crew that worked on this project performed masterfully!

On the other hand, as good as the movie is, it's just a hint of the book, so ... I fell in love with the movie, but if you want this story to blow your mind, read the book :)

This movie was a HUGE shock to me, it was so very beautiful and it made me cry!! I was not expecting much, as I'm an older lady who does not often watch 'young people's' movies because I invariably find them uninteresting (to me). But this film is SO well done and has such a lovely and relevant story, that I was hooked from the very start!! The 2 lead actors are amazing in their roles, both very believable. The production values are first class, and the story highlights SUCH an important issue in our world today - that of TOLERANCE & ACCEPTANCE of others. We are each a UNIQUE creation, and consensual adult love in all its forms should be celebrated. There is so much hatred, bigotry and suffering in the world today, we need more films that bring us together, like this one. Congratulations and Thanks to all involved in its creation!!

Well, if you read the book this movie adaptation may be a disappointment for you. Everything seemed so fast in the movie it's like all the important details from the book are overlooked and are not given justice. Similar to a comment here, maybe it this were a series, then it could have been a lot better. It's like the scenes just quickly pan from one scene to another losing the profound moments reflected in the book. Although quite understandable that they need to fit everything in 120 minute more or so into a movie.

One good thing here are getting these actors hot actors to play the gay roles. I wished though that the romance could have been highlighted more.

I said the same thing when I watched the trailer and I was right. The book had so much details that simply cannot be captured in a 2-hour movie. While, the movie does its best to capture important moments, many crucial moments were still lost to the winds. It's a good and entertaining movie but maybe I would've enjoyed it more if I hadn't read the book.

I missed the characters who were crucial to the story and to what makes Alex Alex. The characters they kept were watered down to the point of blandness and the story felt too fast-paced and rushed.

The chemistry between the leads though takes the cake and although their story could have been more expounded, it was really well done and for that I'm glad.

Hallmark clone? Yup. Over the top fairy tale? Agreed.

The best feel good happy ending gay themed romcom I've ever seen? Absolutely 100%

I can't count how many gay themed movies I've wasted hours watching with angsty, cry me a river, gays get the shaft because that's what they deserve storylines. I've longed to see a sappy love story where the guy gets the guy and no one dies or leaves. I wish something like this existed when I was young.

This is the one. It's well done, the lead actors have GREAT chemistry. Even though both of them are straight, they put in the work to make the romance believable and heartfelt. The supporting characters could have been a bit more developed (they were in the book) but they're still funny and likeable.

I highly recommend this movie, especially for young people.
