Let me start off by saying I am a gay man. I welcome and invite gay romantic comedies IF they are done well. This one comes off as a cheesy, made for TV movie from the music, to the acting (Uma Thurman is dreadful in this), to the melodrama. The direction lacks a filmmaker's eye and it is often apparent that a theater director was at the helm. Things are played very broadly. The two lead actors are quite good with what they were given, but even they can't save this watered down version of the book. The lines they are given to deliver are often embarrassing. One about our lead wanting the Prince to eat barbecue so he could lick it off his lips was particularly corny. This film truly feels like a Lifetime or Hallmark movie.
