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.
