Red, White & Royal Blue

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4 I don’t usually do royalty romance or royalty anything really but had made an exception for the book due to its themes and did enjoy it a lot! So was looking forward to the movie. Well I pretty much loved it! For the aficionados, I read it years ago and can’t compare it too closely to all the details but this is decidedly better than a hallmark movie. It’s not saccharine, the leads were super appealing and they kept me invested in their romance and its outcome, plus I loved the political edge, as in actual election politics but also socially. I mean I got emotional at the end..more for the beautiful monologues and how much really has changed in my lifetime. Sure this is a lovely fantasy world but one within reach. It had me feeling so optimistic..at least for awhile before I turned back into my cynical self lol. I could quibble (yeah there was some mild cheese and other stuff but nothing cringey) but if it can spread a little light and love in the world as well as entertain I count it as well done 🤩"

"LOVE LOVE LOVED IT! A perfect sexy extremely cheesy rom-com for the LGBTQ community that does tremendous justice to Casey McQuiston’s novel. Taylor Zakhar Perez oozes boyish charm in his every scene as Alex and Nick Galitzine brings such heartfelt sincerity and vulnerability to Prince Henry. And the CHEMISTRY! Taylor and Nick heard the no chemistry allegations and said “bet.” I was hard-core blushing at all their scenes together. All this being said: this is not a 5 star film and for one reason only. It felt rushed, which wasn’t really their fault. They had to squeeze so much information and relationship development and plot into about 2 hours and most of it was amazing but because it went by so fast, the story felt much more surface level than it is in the book. In my opinion, if they were given more time like say as a mini series, the pay off would have been better. Be that as it may, they knocked it out of the ballpark with what they were given and it gives me the same heart clenching, stomach full of butterflies feeling that the book did which is all you can ask of an adaptation! Definitely a new comfort watch!!!!"

"It’s always nice to have a gay movie where no one gets hurt. Those are rare finds. This one makes you laugh/cry. It is a bit slow though. "

"Cute but meh "

"I haven’t read the book, so I have nothing to compare the movie to. All I know is I feel like Taylor (the guy who plays the president’s son) was kind of lacking in the chemistry department. "

"I've seen this 3 times already lol a must watch funny, heartwarming, and entertaining "

"Such a good movie "

"It’s like enjoying a ton of ice-cream knowing you won’t gain any .. £££ 😎"
