AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

SnoopyStyle It's VE 1945 in London. Princesses Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon) and Margaret (Bel Powley) are eager to be out with the people. The King (Rupert Everett) is worried about his speech and reluctantly allows the girls to go out until 1am. To the girls' dismay, the Queen (Emily Watson) assigns them military chaperons and organizes a stuffy party. Margaret sneaks out and Elizabeth is desperate to find her with the help of bitter anti-establishment airman Jack Hodges (Jack Reynor) who is out AWOL.This movie reminds me of 'Adventures in Babysitting' in both good and bad ways. It's a couple of clueless teens getting into trouble in the big city. It's light weight but mixed with some very dark situations. Margaret is cartoonishly idiotic. Elizabeth's cluelessness is a little more annoying and pompous. While Margaret is fake stupid, Elizabeth's posh attitude is too broad and feels unreal. The romance hits a few speed bumps but it gets to the right places. Sarah Gadon is charismatic but she's a little old to play the teenager future queen. This rom-com works well at times and less so at other times.

Desertman84 A Royal Night Out is a romantic comedy that tells a story of a young Princess Elizabeth,who is going to be soon Queen Elizabeth II, and young Princess Margaret as they venture out of Buckingham Palace to enjoy the VE Day Celebrations in 1945 when peace was declared after World War II.It stars Sarah Gadon and Bel Powley together with Jack Reynor,Rupert Everett,Emily Watson and Roger Allam.No question that it was a charming film especially with Sarah Gadon and Bel Powley doing well as Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret respectively.They have wonderful chemistry.It was fun to see them perform well to make it a watchable fare and for viewers to have interests in their so-called misadventures that involved royalties.Their experiences as teen-agers make them appeal to both teens and adults alike making it known that even people from Buckingham Palace can go wild despite being in a controlled environment.

Dean72756 No spoilers here... except that I loved this movie. I laughed all the way through it. What a joy!! Elizabeth was just perfect. I loved her arc in this film. Timid, not yet assertive. And as the night rolls along she learns from watching others until the end of the movie when we see our future queen learns how to take command, but with grace. And when she is lost in the crowd what I saw in her eyes was bewilderment and awe and a slight over-whelmed expression. A great performance. And her two official escorts were wonderful to watch. I wasn't too sure about Jack, though. I understand he needed to have some flaws, but I didn't feel by the end of the movie that he had a strong enough arc. But Margaret was perfect. I am so happy she was portrayed the way she was in the film. How fun!

webberjc This fictional account tallies with the characters of the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret (the only member of the royal family I have seen in person) in wonderful detail (Lilibet is the name Elizabeth gave herself as a very small child--listen to George VI say it, with his stuttering problem). What a night Victory in Europe must have been! It is an amalgam of Odyssey, Pink Panther, and a Chekhov play. The characters go through a unique combination of experiences on a unique night which leaves them with a new perspective on life and how they fit into it. Meg's great oblivious question near the end is worth repeating (she asks George VI and the Queen Mother "What's a knocking shop?") You know when the moment arrives for Lizzie to assert her command as the future queen. A marvelous picture worth seeing more than once!
