dont-we-all-like-pie I don't think this has any spoilers, but I'll check that box just to be safe. Okay. It's a cute movie. I like it, it's definitely a great feel good movie for teenage girls/ young women. But being a Wisconsinite (born and raised) I really don't enjoy how they portray not only my state, but the people in my state. First off, we do not wear that much plaid and/or flannel and yes there is a difference. Second, I have never heard of an actual lawn mower race happening, and I'm about to graduate from a school where a few of the hicks actually drive their tractors to school at the end of the year. It's half because they like their tractors and half because it makes the whole school smell like manure. We do have tractor pulls where there's one concession stand run by our FFA members and no charming lines of hay bales. Also, that farm in the movie is just really bad. Actual farms (especially those barns) are not that clean, and I know this movie is ten years old, but that farm isn't struggling because it's family owned and run, it's struggling because they haven't invested in new, efficient equipment that ends up paying for itself. And I don't live on a farm, so I guess I could be wrong about all this, but my dad did grow up on a farm and my house is surrounded by them, so I'm probably right. Also, a farmer would never let anyone that inexperienced try to calm/direct their cows. That's a major injury and possible lawsuit on their hands. Also, her two brothers seem so... idiotic. I don't know if that was on purpose, and if it was then I don't know if it was because they're farm boys, but it really bothers me. My dad and his 13 siblings grew up on their farm, and now as adults all of them are successful and at least two of them are millionaires, just like one of my favorite neighbors, who's actually a farmer worth millions of dollars, all from working his family owned and run farm. That's about all I can think of, otherwise it's pretty cute. Just, please take everything with a grain of salt!
ctomvelu1 A throwback to old-style Hollywood movies that featured actresses like Loretta Young and actors like Larry Olivier. In fact, I recall just such a film, "The Prince and the Showgirl," with Olivier and Marilyn Monroe. Stiles is a farm girl away at college who meets an exchange student who is actually Denmark's crown prince. Of course, she doesn't find this out until much later. Weak scripting and awkward, improbable situations rely heavily on Stiles' star power. If this had been made 10 or 12 years earlier, her part would have been played by Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock. A minor trifle at best. Stiles has gone on to bigger and better things, thank God.
neenahhh This movie is cute, fun and very enjoyable! It's nothing special, though. Just another movie where girl falls in love with boy even if she's not supposed to and yada yada yada. But other than the clichéd storyline, this film is still great. I don't understand why people are saying that they had to "force" themselves to watch this whole movie!While watching this film, I felt like I was watching two separate movies. (SPOILER:) First movie- The rich, spoiled prince from Denmark goes off to Wisconsin to have a good time and unexpectedly falls in love with this stubborn and determined girl. The second movie- The prince goes back to Denmark to fulfill his role as part of the royal family and the girl follows him. (/SPOILER) Granted, both 'movies' were connected, but I felt like both parts lacked development. It could have been improved on. Especially the second part of the movie. The second half of the film just seemed too rushed. It brought down my rating for this movie.I liked Julia Stiles' character here. A smart, hardworking, strong-personality woman who was very fixated on her dream to become a doctor and travel the world to help others. Even when Eddie came into her life, she was still focused on her goals. (SPOILER:) It's just sad that she kind of forgot them as she and Eddie began getting closer. It was like she dropped all her morals and goals just so she could be with some guy. Which I don't condone. (/SPOILER) Overall, an enjoyable film. It's easy and fun. The characters themselves are fun to watch and have interesting stories. This isn't the best romance movie, but I think it's still somewhere up there.Viewed on: April 14, 2011
idasjungle This is a movie about the oldest existing royal family in the world and they can't even give the danish crown prince a danish name. For the last many hundred years it would have been Christian or Fredrik like the current prince. They could have given him anyone of hundreds danish names even if they did not want to be historically correct but no lets name him after the English royal family instead. I also did not like how Denmark got portrayed as old fashioned when in fact it is very modern. The danish people love their royal family and this portrayed the relationship in a very undanish way. If the film makers wished to make the story take place in a fantasy kingdom they should have done what Disney did in princess diaries, and not insult the Danes. Julia Stiles is what makes this a good movie.
