Plot 411: Paige lives every little girl's dream and is swept off her feet by a prince.
Review: Julia Stiles (one of my favorite actresses growing up) plays studious Paige Morgan, a college student set on becoming a doctor. She has her entire life planned out for herself until she meets an obnoxious guy named Eddie (Luke Mably). Unbeknownst to her, Eddie is actually Prince Edward, the heir to the Danish throne. In order to avoid the European papparazzi, he enrolls at an American university. Left without financial support for the first time in his life, the playboy prince finally experiences life and love. Seriously, this is one of those chick lit flicks that are thoroughly predictable and unoriginal. I'm definitely not denying that. However, there's also something a little bit magical with which every girl can relate. The movie hits on a common female fantasy - to fall in love with a prince and become a princess (soon-to-be queen). The prince is handsome, gallant and extremely well-mannered. What's not to love? It plays off the fantasay that wonderful things can happen to regular people, that you don't need to be extremely beautiful to pull royalty. In fact, you can have a brilliant mind and not even need to be a ditz and still land a great catch. This is definitely a fantasy (I only half kid LOL).
Watch It: And be swept away my the magic.
Skip It: Because your fantasies are probably better anyway.
