"Some scenes are downright insulting to viewers over the age of ten."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

2/5
"A Royal Letdown."  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

3/4
"...generally remains a cut above the majority of its contemporary romcom brethren - with the dreaded fake break-up handled particularly well (the second fake break-up is kind of pushing it, though)."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"The ending, plain and simple, cheapens all that has come before."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

3/4
"This surprisingly intelligent dramedy is largely hung-up on facades and is critical of misogynistic fairy tales promised to young girls."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

D+
"It is really two movies in one, and both are sub-par."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

C-
"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark--and it's this movie, a flyweight romantic comedy."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"Two vibrant performances by Luke Mably and Julia Stiles don't compensate for the wobbly screenplay and predictable finale."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2.5/4
"It's easy enough to recommend The Prince & Me as a romantic comedy. The movie wants to be more than that, but the muddled way in which it divulges its themes occasionally makes it suffer from a split personality."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

5/10
"the script and Martha Coolidge direction are so play-it-safe formulaic that the film lacks fairy-tale luster. It’s as predictable as an Elvis movie—without the music."  DVDTown.com  James Plath

3/4
"Fitful corny one-liners and an ambiguous climax can be overlooked due to fresh scripting and the vast appeal of Julia Stiles and newcomer Luke Mably."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

60/100
"Julia Stiles is sweet in this charming, but unfulfilling, rom-com."  FilmFocus  Joe Utichi

3.5/5
"It's exactly the kind of movie you want it to be. Rent it with your best girlfriends on a blustery spring afternoon."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

2.5/4
"Julia Stiles is adorable, and she's very easy to empathize with"  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

B-
"By the time we have to sit through a scene of Paige trying on all the Crown jewels, they have long since run out of ideas."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2/5
"A mocinha não precisava ser Ph.D em Dramaturgia, é claro, mas tampouco deveria ser retratada como alguém com Q.I. inferior ao de Forrest Gump."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

"It is impossible to believe that such a bland film could have been made by Martha Coolidge, whose previous credits have included 'Valley Girl' and 'Real Genius'."  Critic Doctor  Peter Sobczynski

3/5
"Pure fairy tale, but it's also charming enough to win us over in the end."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

2/5
"The Prince & Me is made for starry-eyed 14-year-old girls, undemanding Moms and kindhearted Grannies. Each demographic deserves just a little bit better by this point."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

2/4
"There's not one moment that's even vaguely fresh or original in the screenplay, which blithely dispenses with anything resembling logic or plausibility, not to mention wit and heart."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight

2/4
"It's not torture, it's actually sort of fun for long stretches--a shame that The Prince & Me squanders all that good will in its desire to be ordinary."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
