Movie Reviews:
👑 The Royal We is safe, and pretty cute. (though, that BFF is really annoying.). -Maria
👑 Forgot to include: There's a really neat surprise at the end of the movie! -Maria
👑 The Royal We Review: This was the best royal film I have seen in a long time, probably topping to #1. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it that much, but I did!! And I thought before, they were engaged in the beginning, but we do see them fall for each other before a wedding. There was a burst of chemistry with these two that really pulled you in and they were like friends, leaning towards something special and always kind to each other. How can you not fall in love with that prince! He’s so nice!! It was family friendly and for Parent Trap fans… this movie had Martin the Butler in it!! If I could describe it in one word…Charming!!
Just a couple scenes I would change. I was uncomfortable with Bea in her pajamas in the prince’s bedroom, also in his PJs, alone together. Nothing happened, they kept it innocent, no seductive feeling. But as a Christian, I would have liked it better if she didn’t enter and he came out dressed.
The same with the star gazing scene, she was fully dressed and he had his PJs and robe. I would have been totally fine with is. They were having a special moment and it was so sweet, but unfortunately we see the time turn into morning and they fell asleep snugly together. This was a big no no for me and I couldn’t help but think, if this was set back in time her reputation would be ruined and he would have to to the honorable thing and marry her. I wish our world hasn’t changed from that, but unfortunately we had.
Those were 2 very short scenes and the rest is so fantastic, I have to give it a great review. It is worth watching and they give you hints about the next 2 royal movies coming out. I believe they are all connected just like the Wedding Veil movies.
And I agree with Maria, the best friend really over played her role and was really cheesy. But she was nice. ~Abigail
👑 The Royal We – Charming film! The romance felt a bit rushed towards the end, but it was still enjoyable. At times, the royal dialogue was somewhat difficult to follow. I really liked the quirky friend; she brought so much fun to the story. All in all, it's a delightful and family-friendly movie. Net
👑 The Royal We - this one surprised me. It was sweet, cute, clean. At first I caught myself saying how unrealistic certain parts were, but honestly that's the nature of Royal-themed movies, and should be expected. With that in mind, I thought it was a fun one-time watch. ~LR
👑 Still trying to get caught upon everything. But, we did watch both "The Royal We" and "The Reluctant Royal". We liked both movies. They were both enjoyable. But, we thought "The Reluctant Royal" was the best of the two. Andrew and Emilie had off the charts chemistry. :-) Plus, the movie was both funny and heartfelt. It was nice to see the nasty Allister and his snobby mom get their comeuppance. They were not nice people. And, the scenery was spectacular. ~Joan
THE RELUCTANT ROYAL
Premiere Date: Saturday, March 8, 2025
Starring: Andrew Walker and Emilie de Ravin
Storyline: Philly mechanic Johnny is surprised to learn that his long-lost father is a duke. But the duke isn’t quite what he expected, nor are his growing feelings for the duke’s advisor Prudence.
Movie Reviews:
👑 Ah, The Reluctant Royal is so wonderful! -Maria
👑 The Reluctant Royal – This film had a little of everything... it's entertaining, enjoyable, and a bit corny, which is exactly why I adored it. I really liked Andrew Walker's character, Johnny, the down-to-earth mechanic who is skilled with his hands and has a heart of gold. Although I didn't feel a strong romantic connection between Johnny and Prudence, their romance was still very sweet.
What I most appreciated in the story was the touching moment when the father and son bonded while restoring an old car. It was a beautiful scene that genuinely brought tears to my eyes.
(Side note: It’s quite interesting that Johnny decided to create a juice company as a side project, given that Andrew Walker and his wife own one in real life.) ~Net
👑 Review: The Reluctant Royal As I have stated before I'm not a huge fan of royal movies, but this one is great! Story is a little different from most of these movies with some healing from the past and new family relations started. Of course there's the usual romance as well and lots of comedy in this one that Andrew pulls off excellently! I can't think of any other other actor who could have played this part so well! It's a keeper and one I will watch over again! And family friendly! ~Joyce in Carolina
👑 The Reluctant Royal was excellent! It was clean and didn't seem like it was the same old storyline that a lot of royal themed movies have. –Grace
👑 Still trying to get caught upon everything. But, we did watch both "The Royal We" and "The Reluctant Royal". We liked both movies. They were both enjoyable.

👑 I neglected to mention it was also great to see a storyline, in "The Reluctant Royal", that was a departure from the same sometimes boring storyline we normally see. It is refreshing to see several other people here enjoyed this wonderful movie as much as we did. :-) I especially liked the ending! ~Joan
👑 This ("The Reluctant Royal”) was a great, sweet, and different royal movie. I loved The Royal We, too. Namegirl
👑 Watched Reluctant Royal and really liked it. One flaw I caught in the movie was Jonny asked where the Duke had been for the last 38 years, but he married Dottie in February of 1989. That obviously means he should be asking about the last 36 years. Just thought it was worth mentioning.~Anonymous
ROYAL-ISH
Premiere Date: Saturday, March 15, 2025
Starring: Nichole Sakura and William Moseley
Storyline: Lacey is an amusement park princess who befriends 8-year-old Rose, a real-life princess, and is recruited by her handsome father to travel to their kingdom and be the new governess.
Movie Reviews:
👑 Royalish – Charming, Adorable, and Delightful in every way! This movie is perfect for a girls' night in or a cozy family movie night. G-rated and super sweet! :) ~Net
👑 Royal-ish is safe and an adorable end to another wonderful trilogy! -Maria
👑 Royal-ish review…. Sweet and adorable is the way to describe this one. Family friendly and full of smiles. It was a little bit too cutesy for me, but I thought she played her part well for children. ~Abigail
👑 Royal-ish review.... I agree with Abigail - I know no surprise here :-) The movie was sweet and adorable but also too cutesy for me as well. The lead actress was enchanting and did a good job. But, it was definitely a one-time watch for me. ~Joan
👑 I watched Royal-ish last night (after the Illinois basketball game - yay, Illinois! Onto round 2!) because I was intrigued by the plot. I agree with Abigail and Joan - it was a cute movie - nothing spectacular - okay for a one-time watch. But I am not sure that Nichole Sakura was the ideal choice for the female lead. While she is very good when playing the park princess, she seems to lack the...what, finesse? class? aura?...of being a real-life match for the prince. During the movie I kept thinking that someone like Merritt Patterson or Aimee Teegarden would have been better suited for the role. ~Mark 25

Starring: Ashley Newbrough, Steve Lund and Mindy Cohn

Storyline: Mystery Island hosts contest winners vying to solve a fake murder for a grand prize, but the event goes awry when an employee is murdered, and secrets are uncovered.
Movie Reviews:
🔎 Mystery Island: Winner Takes All Review….
I thought it had a good plot, although I knew who the killer was gonna be in the very beginning, but I think the cast is VERY weak. The two main characters are kind to each other and friends and I always appreciate seeing that instead of them not sharing information, but being a team. It was also family friendly. ~Abigail
🔎 Okay I was finally able to watch Mystery Island. I will say the first one of this series was kind of confusing for me, and this one was the same. I think it is the whole “mystery within a mystery” concept of the film. I loved seeing Kristin Booth play a different character than her SSD one. I think this is the only thing I have seen her in besides SSD…. Anyway, I enjoyed it as a one time watch. ~Paula
🔎 Mystery Island: Winner Takes All - I love a good mystery, but I had a hard time getting into this one. I understood the characters and all, but I just didn't feel interested or connected to the main or supporting characters. I agree with Paula, it was great to see Kristin Booth of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," but she portrayed a fairly nasty character and her role was rather short. Overall, Mystery Island: Winner Takes All is a family-friendly sort of mystery, but a one time watch for me. ~Net
I hope you all discover a movie you will enjoy in March!
I know. I know. There are mixed feelings about royal-themed movies these days, but there have been some good ones throughout the years (even ones that aren't Christmas-related, such as Royal Matchmaker and Royal Hearts), so perhaps one of these will rank up there. I do think the one with Andrew Walker sounds interesting, so let's hope it's a fun one!
Happy movie watching, everyone!
