I hate when they change the actors in movie sequels. I guess sequels should sometimes be viewed as independant movies, and not be compared to the previous. But still...it doesn't work for me.
We watched Prince & Me 2 on DVD last weekend. Didn't even know there was a sequel, just noticed the DVD in the rental shop while we were there looking for something for the kids. We enjoyed the first movie. It was predictable of course, but a nice romantic story. So when we rented the sequel, we thought it would be similar.
Not that it was a bad movie, but the fact that they changed too many characters spoiled it for me. I guess I could have lived with Eddie's parents being different actors. And the butler guy...what's his name again, Soren I think.....well, he wasn't bad - still felt weird to have the new guy though. But why did Julia Stiles not star in this movie? She had a totally different personality than Kam Heskin. She fitted in the role of Paige Morgan so well. There was an innocence about her in the first movie that got lost in the sequel. What a pity.
Oh well...maybe the pay wasn't good enough for Julia? :-/
