Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

TxMike I found this movie on Netflix streaming movies. My wife was not interested in seeing it. The premise is based in fact, on VE day in May 1945 the two young Princesses, Elizabeth (19) and Margaret (15), who had been home- schooled and never out of sight during WW2, asked to be allowed to go out into the crowds in London, to mingle, to see how all the commoners were reacting to the victory over Nazi Germany. Their mum was against it but Elizabeth (future Queen, and still Queen today) was persistent and their dad, King George, gave permission.In this fictional expansion of that rather quiet event two soldiers are sent along to make sure the sisters would be safe. However the girls soon gave them the slip and had many experiences overnight, some in particularly shady parts of London.We know today that Elizabeth was then, and remained, "feisty". Her character here is depicted that way. As history records she married two years later, and less than 7 years after VE Day she became Queen of England when her dad, King George, died.It is a small movie but interesting to see how things might have been for the royal family back then. Sarah Gadon, a Canadian, is very good as Elizabeth. Bel Powley is her younger sister Margaret. Emily Watson is good as their mother, the Queen. And I didn't actually recognize that Rupert Everett played King George.Overall an interesting and entertaining 90 minutes.

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.

kosmasp Not exactly of course, but then again this might not accurate on how things went down either. Depicting historical figures and a historical event (end of WWII, British crown and so forth) might not be something people are too interested to watch. But then if you like a feel good movie overall and a fish out of water story (loyalty mixing it up with common folk), then you might be right here.Having said that, there is still some tough issues that want to be answered, but even when this gets darker, it never loses focus on the lightness that makes it work. So this isn't too critical or too dramatic, but it is entertaining, while being predictable in giving us the clichés we expect. Having said, costumes and settings are generally good and the acting is decent too

Tony Heck "This might be the only chance she gets." It is V.E. Day and the entire country of England is celebrating the victory over Hitler. Princesses Elizabeth (Gadon) and Margaret (Powley) want to celebrate like the rest of the country rather than stay home in the palace. When permission is given they are excited. When they give their chaperons the slip the two experience something that most royalty can't. True anonymity, and all the troubles that come with it. Before I begin I know I am not the target audience for this so take my review with a grain of salt. That said, the movie wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but it was still fairly generic and really felt like a PBS movie. I'm not sure how historically accurate this was but I have a hard time thinking it's even 50% right. That fact aside I was actually able to watch this without my mind wandering too much. The movie wasn't terrible but it wasn't something that made me rethink the genre either. This is watchable but really just flat and generic. If you like movies that are essentially period pieces or a fan of Downton Abbey then you will enjoy this much more than I did. Overall, not as bad as I was expecting but nothing all that amazing and really just too generic and flat for me to even have a real opinion about. I give this a C+.
