6/10
Not a great movie but much better then this type of movie generally is.

SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:

Although, this isn't a great movie, it's a sweet one and much better then other movies of this sort. Luke Mably and Julia Stiles maybe the reason. They are both great in their roles and I could believe both were the characters they portrayed. I also liked the supporting cast who were surprisingly good and helped keep the picture interesting and at times humorous.

This isn't a classic or anything but it is a lovable little fairy tale that doesn't take itself to seriously. I recently saw a similar movie called "First daughter". (Though that was more geared toward politics, there were similarities). This is much better because it doesn't have a lot of the flaws present in first daughter. The picture is not boring, it's engaging and fun. It runs smoothly too, the pacing is quite good, and the two leads are both convincing and have enormous chemistry. Lovely photography and a certain sweetness that is prevalent throughout, help things along.

This is a movie that was OK to view when one is in a light mood, it could have been even better had it had the element of surprise at least once in awhile in the picture and gotten rid of some of the plot contrivances that pop up late in the picture (and which nearly every movie of this sort seems to have.) Prince & Me however, while not being great, is fun, a whimsical little fairytale that you may like more then you expect. This is a perfect 6.5 of 10, and recommended to people who may like this type of flick.
