be this movie awful . revolt . noxious . no . but give how charming and well write the precursor be and there be no real excuse for this wretched venture into sequeldom . the only thing this film have go for it be a nice performance by luke mably and who doesn not seem to realize that he have wander into a piece of utter rubbish . he stay the course he set in the original and and for that he deserve considerable credit . we have here virtually no one else on board from the original . perhaps mably be under contractual obligation for the sequel and maybe he just need the money and who know . but this be a movie to stay away from . my wife and who would ordinarily be such a movie target audience and couldn not abide this steam heap . a preposterous script that manage to instill boredom and distraction in viewer and caricature milquetoast villain and a predictable happy end there be literally no there there in this movie . it honestly not even worth rent on dvd and much less see in a theater . good to chase down the first episode and or the princess diary or even the princess bride if youre feel the need for a dash of royalty in your life . honestly and this movie be rotten on so many level that there not space enough to do justice to how bad it be . a royal disappointment and indeed .
