But even when they come out of the closet, their experience turns out to be far less traumatic than expected. When Alex falls in love with British Prince Henry, a story of entanglement and international politics begins, cloaked in the secrecy with which the two boys decide to conduct their transatlantic relationship. Mother and son are the ones who have the conversation cited above. In addition, President Ellen Claremont (played by Uma Thurman) is married to a Mexican immigrant, with whom she has a son, Alex Claremont-Diaz. For starters, Ted Malawer and Lopez’s screenplay-based faithfully on Casey McQuiston’s book-imagines an America presided over by a woman who won the 2016 election (which, in the real world, Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump). But there is something refreshing about the naïve idealism that the film seems to promote.

On the Rotten Tomatoes website, Red, White and Royal Blue has 78% positive reviews, and viewers describe it as “entertaining,” “funny,” “adorable” and “refined” and applaud the chemistry of the leading couple, played by Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine (although there are some who believe that the movie resembles a soap opera and tends to be formulaic and cloying).Īs a straightforward romantic comedy, Red, White and Royal Blue may be just one more in the bunch, and it is not among the genre’s best. It has been received positively enough by critics and enthusiastically enough among audiences to be considered an apparent hit (what is a hit on streaming platforms, when we never really know how many people watch a movie or a series, nor whether the productions are profitable?). Adapted from a literary phenomenon among young audiences (especially the Tik Tok set), this film is directed by Matthew Lopez, a Tony Award-winning playwright. That could easily be a conversation between two politicians, but in fact the dialogue is between two of the main characters in Red, White and Royal Blue, the gay romantic comedy released a month ago on Amazon Prime Video. If you don’t understand that, then you have a lot to learn about politics.” My constituents need me to be realistic so they can be idealistic. ”I don’t need you to give me a lesson in idealism. Is that why you got into politics? To be realistic? Do you really think that’s what people need right now?” PS: And the 'Sarkar/ Sethji' was literally getting on my nerves after a while.-”You’re being idealistic when I need you to be realistic.” Anthony D'Souza - don't even think of any sequel to it ref: Air. In many movies one complains that length should have been trimmed to deliver the impact but it seems in 'Blue' the editor has done a magnanimous job to extent that it fails to sink into the audience. The execution is sleek and no two ways to that. ° Kabir Bedi role can be timed in seconds. She experiments her looks with the piercing and sadly doesn't look quite appealing. °Kats adopts funky-techno look in her special appearance. She leaves no stones unturned to flaunts her figure in an aesthetic way. For the first time I had to take note of her - seriously. The whole sequence of Rahul Dev and Kats is so badly written even a blind can see it coming. ° Zayed Khan makes an attempt to ultra-cool. Also pairing with Lara seemed cradle-snatching. He was big, bulky and appeared averaged for the character. BTW - the goatee didn't suit his looks in any manner. And adopts his son's name as the screen name. ° Akshay Kumar yet again jumps on the other side to do an extended version of his character in 'Ajnabee'. Yes - amongst all the gloss and glitter somebody just seem to have forgotten to choose/ validate a proper story/ plot to base it leading to the entire affair falling like a pack of cards. What else more can you ask for? Ahem - story please. The media is used effectively to generate curiosity and ensured audience is flocked to cinema halls. And finally to rope in the international audience Kylie Minogue is roped in.

The songs from A R Rahman who is riding high on the success of Slumdog Millionaire are great. The background music is as good as any Hollywood movie. The underwater sequences are shot with aplomb. Noteworthy is the cinematography which is top-notch. Anthony D'Souza had carefully handpicked all the ingredients to make a hit movie.
