In this episode of Dumpsterpiece Theatre, we dive into 2004's "The Prince and Me" - the tale of an uptight pre-med student and a Danish prince who meet cute at a college bar called The Rat.
Between scenes of questionably safe chemistry experiments, romantic meat-slicing tutorials, and the most awkward Shakespeare tutoring ever, Julia Stiles and Luke Mably show us that love can blossom even when one party is hiding their royal lineage.
We explore how this film checks all the classic romance boxes - from moonlit barn kisses to dramatic rainy confessions - while debating just how realistic it is for a prince to choose Wisconsin based on a late-night infomercial.
Plus, discover the wild journey of THREE direct-to-video sequels involving missing elephants, evil prime ministers, and a complete cast overhaul. A perfectly cheesy early 2000s romance that proves sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince... or in this case, teach him how to do laundry.
