ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
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. ...read the complete Prince & Me movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Xiibaro Productions (David Perry)

In bringing The Prince & Me to the screen, director Martha Coolidge and sharing distributors Paramount and Lion's Gate have sold themselves, and audiences, short.

Austin Chronicle (Kimberley Jones)
The trouble with retooling fairy tales to jibe with our more enlightened times is that too often the fun gets stripped along with the offensive parts. No glass slipper in this sourpuss spin on Cinderella, but rather sturdy work boots for Wisconsin farm ...read the complete Prince & Me movie review at Austin Chronicle (Kimberley Jones)
