SnoopyStyle It's VE 1945 in London. Princesses Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon) and Margaret (Bel Powley) are eager to be out with the people. The King (Rupert Everett) is worried about his speech and reluctantly allows the girls to go out until 1am. To the girls' dismay, the Queen (Emily Watson) assigns them military chaperons and organizes a stuffy party. Margaret sneaks out and Elizabeth is desperate to find her with the help of bitter anti-establishment airman Jack Hodges (Jack Reynor) who is out AWOL.This movie reminds me of 'Adventures in Babysitting' in both good and bad ways. It's a couple of clueless teens getting into trouble in the big city. It's light weight but mixed with some very dark situations. Margaret is cartoonishly idiotic. Elizabeth's cluelessness is a little more annoying and pompous. While Margaret is fake stupid, Elizabeth's posh attitude is too broad and feels unreal. The romance hits a few speed bumps but it gets to the right places. Sarah Gadon is charismatic but she's a little old to play the teenager future queen. This rom-com works well at times and less so at other times.
maineguy_04043 Great Funny Movie, if based on non events, still I enjoyed it. Wonder what the real event were like? Probably stodgy and stuck up, if only the Queen could have experienced this as written, what a time and memory she'd have. I loved the acting, esp. Margaret with her high pierced voice and the down to earth sister Elizabeth. Jack was awesome! The whole move was well done if not historically correct. I love the writers take and style on the period. I don't what more I can say besides I really liked the movie and will watch it again. I mean I can't believe how good it was.OMG 10 lines is so unreasonable when you just want to say I freaking enjoyed the movie, watch it too. You'll see how great it was!
Desertman84 A Royal Night Out is a romantic comedy that tells a story of a young Princess Elizabeth,who is going to be soon Queen Elizabeth II, and young Princess Margaret as they venture out of Buckingham Palace to enjoy the VE Day Celebrations in 1945 when peace was declared after World War II.It stars Sarah Gadon and Bel Powley together with Jack Reynor,Rupert Everett,Emily Watson and Roger Allam.No question that it was a charming film especially with Sarah Gadon and Bel Powley doing well as Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret respectively.They have wonderful chemistry.It was fun to see them perform well to make it a watchable fare and for viewers to have interests in their so-called misadventures that involved royalties.Their experiences as teen-agers make them appeal to both teens and adults alike making it known that even people from Buckingham Palace can go wild despite being in a controlled environment.
kosmasp Not exactly of course, but then again this might not accurate on how things went down either. Depicting historical figures and a historical event (end of WWII, British crown and so forth) might not be something people are too interested to watch. But then if you like a feel good movie overall and a fish out of water story (loyalty mixing it up with common folk), then you might be right here.Having said that, there is still some tough issues that want to be answered, but even when this gets darker, it never loses focus on the lightness that makes it work. So this isn't too critical or too dramatic, but it is entertaining, while being predictable in giving us the clichés we expect. Having said, costumes and settings are generally good and the acting is decent too
