At the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Paige, a pre-med student and a farm girl from Manitowoc, meets Eddie, a fellow student from Denmark, whom she first dislikes but later accepts, likes, and loves. Paige takes Eddie to her home for the Thanksgiving weekend. Paparazzi find and photograph the couple, and Paige learns that Eddie is truly Crown Prince Edvard. Failing health causes King Haraald to abdicate in favor of Edvard, so Eddie returns to Copenhagen, then Paige follows her heart to Copenhagen, where Edvard warmly welcomes her, takes her to the castle, and introduces her to the royal family. Queen Rosalind first expresses opposition to Paige but later relents; King Haraald soon warms to her; Edvard proposes, Paige accepts, and he gives her a ring. However, Paige recalls her previous dream of going to Doctors Without Borders, so she breaks off and returns to school. Still, though, Edvard shows up at Paige's graduation and suggests an alternate plan.

| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthFitful 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. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelSue PiermanIt's pleasant enough, but lacks the spark to make it memorable. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyStiles is lovely, forthright and believable, so much so that when the scene shifts back to storybook Denmark (actually shot in Prague), she grounds this fluff in recognizable reality. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...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). |
| Boulder WeeklyThomas DelapaTo wed or not to wed, that is the royal question. You won't need to know Shakespeare to guess the answer, only Hollywood. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh LarsenCinderella for households where Mom and Dad both work. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric Lurio...and the obvious takes it's inevitable course. Yadda yadda yadda. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeI guess the 'real' part is that the heroine here isn't a simp as she was in, say, Cinderella, and the handsome prince is no longer that handsome and no longer behaves in a princely manner. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comScott Von DoviakDirector Martha Coolidge and her team of writers begin jumping through hoops trying to come up with a satisfying fairy-tale ending. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesThe wonderful chemistry between Stiles and Mably is a joy to behold. |
