Continuing my journey through horrible sequels to mediocre movies...

[mslulu]

Let me just say this: even if you enjoyed The Prince and Me, despite its rather ridiculous premise, and its inability to demonstrate basic weather concepts involving Denmark, Wisconsin, and the months of November through January, even if you found the mere presence of the Goddess who is Julia Stiles enough to make this soppy, romantic, fairytale seem believable, do not, under any circumstance, mistake The Prince and Me 2: The Royal Wedding for anything other than a bad ABC Family Channel movie that could have possibly been produced, and maybe even written by, an Olsen Twin.

I don't even know how to start with how atrocious this movie was. Let's just say, it's making Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights look good. I feel bad for the guy playing the Prince. He's the only original actor to return for the sequel, and judging by the pained expression on his face throughout it, he regretted every minute of it. Or perhaps it was his co-star who was causing those grimaces. I think they must have found her amongst the girls who were beat out by Tori Spelling for the role of Tori Spelling in VH1's new series, "so noTORIous." The script itself read like Princess Diaries 2, after it had been put through a shredder and taped back together by a drunken monkey. Oh no! The Evil Prince of Norway and his nasty yet beautiful daughter are out to sabotage the Royal Wedding and make sure the King marries the Princess and not the Farm Girl who he loves. Yeah. That's about it.

It's only saving grace: Colin Firth has a rather attractive younger brother.

Wow. I think I might actually be ill after this one.

Next on my list of cinematic catastrophes: Dungeons and Dragons 2: Wrath of the Dragon God. Did anyone know they made a sequel? Does anyone know why? And what is it foretelling that the mostly-unknown actress, Clemency Burton-Hill, has major roles in both this one and The Prince and Me 2?

Question: why do you hate your brain?

Good fookin ghad alreedy. Every time I head about the things you like to watch I just want to go off my feed. That's not just cheesy, that's rancid.

When we passed by that in Blockbuster, you showed some interest. I didn't know you were SERIOUS!!

You know what they say about curiousity and cats.

The D&D2 movie is better than the first, by which I mean there's no Wayans brother in it. It's still a cheese-fest, but it makes a tiny bit more sense than the first one. If you're not a D&D fan, though, it's pretty pointless.

I watched 'The Prince and Me', since Julia Styles is generally an ok actor. The movie was crap. Do teenage girls have a limit on the crapness of movies they watch, or do they blindly watch any chick flick that comes their way?
