the leading man is my tpye

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

If you don't like love and romance, simply don't watch the Hallmark channel movies. It's sad that some of those out there are so unhappy with their own lives, they have to be haters.

Cute and likable Cindy Busby accounts for almost all of my stars with one star reserved for the male lead. Royal Hearts is an extremely hackneyed plot which presents no surprises, twists, or suspense. It strictly follows the template set forth in innumerable Royal themed romances. Fish out of water heroine and in this case, her Dad, shakes up the royal protocol, is briefly seduced by a royal handsome bad guy, but ends up with the "poor" commoner she had a meet cute with at the beginning after rubbing each other the wrong way throughout most of the movie. Oh. And the kingdom gains its independence thanks to the Americans. I started out looking forward to seeing James Brolin, but he quickly out-wore his welcome with his over the top impression of Sam Elliot. It was kinda funny that the first scene in the movie is Cindy teaching Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, which intentionally or unintentionally hearkens back to her breakthrough role as Elizabeth in Unleashing Mr. Darcy.

I have to say I enjoyed royal hearts. Is it stupid, yes. Has this been done before, yes. I know it is awful, but I could not help myself.I would say the best way to describe the movie as King Ralph, mixed with the Princess Diaries II, and the Beverly Hillbillies episodes where Jed was an Earl.One of my favorite part of the movie is the party scenes and how the extras looked and acted in the back ground. I also enjoyed the earnest of all the characters in light of the absolutely insipid plot and dialogue. However, I would recommend to those of us who like the Hallmark genre to watch this once, you will enjoy it.

Bad enough it follows the insipid Hallmark formula about castles and kings- rich boyfriend is a heel, poor boyfriend is a jewel, down home folk showing taking over the castle and saving the day. Then throw in a good ol' boy cowboy (who wears his battered hat at all times which a real cowboy knows is not correct) who single-handed saves the independence of a whole country and saves his daughters happiness as well. Throw in dogs and horses and ponies and you've seen it all already. I'd give it a one except for the scenery.
