Horrible depiction of a wonderful book
12 August 2023
This was a ride...

Red, White & Royal Blue has disappointed me in so many ways, especially after reading the book.

Acting: The actors were really the worst of the worst. Unbelievable in every way and way too cheesy. It is like they were stage actors dropped into a movie.

The movie took all significant emotional moments from the novel and concised them down so much that they seemed insignificant in this movie. Either they were done way too cheesily or they were just scrapped all the way.

Important characters were simply missing! Where was June? Where was Leo? But most importantly, where was Rafael Luna? He was such an important character in the novel and they just plain removed him from this movie. He was Alex' rolemodel and they shared so many important moments together.

All in all, this was simply a horrible depiction of a wonderful book.
