A big improvement over the last ones
I haven't been crazy about the past "Prince and Me" movies, partly because the acting was weak and they had corny plotlines. I particularly was disappointed with Prince and Me 3: A Royal Honeymoon, so I wasn't sure what to expect with the fourth installment in the series.
Fortunately, Prince & Me 4: Elephant Adventure is far superior to its predecessors. I don't what changed - the director and main actors are all the same - but it's an almost entirely different film. In Prince & Me 4: Elephant Adventure, Edvard, Paige, and Soren go to the Kingdom of Sangyoon to attend a royal wedding. However, en route, they uncover a love affair, lose an elephant, and save a hill tribe. The plot was both action-packed and emotionally engaging - something to satisfy the boys and...
Good clean fun, with one reservation
This movie is good clean fun, with spotty acting. Definitely a children's or family film, but nothing profound here. The one thing that sort of bothered me in this movie is that it seems to be of the genre that promotes strong women--which is a good thing--but does so at the expense of its portrayal of men. Most of the men in this movie (with the exception of the "bad guy" and, occasionally, the prince) are portrayed as well-intentioned, but bumbling idiots who fortunately have women in their life who are able to rescue them with greater wisdom and/or martial arts ability. So I appreciate the fact that little girls can watch this and see women who can take care of problems--their own and others--competently, but I would have prefered some stronger males as well. This is what brought this movie down from a four star to a three star movie for me.
The Prince and Me Elephant Adventure
I love all four of the Prince and Me movies. Each showing our modern day Cinderella in the trials and tribulations that it takes to live happily ever after after the I DO'S. Its the one year anniversery for Paige Morgan and Prince Edward and they find themselves spending it in their own Jungle book type adventure. Something you mind think to find in Indiana Jones films. Paige is now balancing her time as Queen with that of her work as a doctor. That doesn't stop both them from a anniversery trip to Asia even though they each have their own reasons for the trip. For Edward its to convince the King to accept Denmark's aid while for the queen it to bring her doctor skills to the needed. As they get ready to attend a royal wedding; however, as like Aladdin falling for the princess in his own story the stable boy has fallen in love with the princess and it up to the royal couple to make the king open his eyes and heart to the sight of true love. The princess' wicked fiance who believe...
