The problem with this movie is how they pushed it so hard. So we were really curious about it, we wanted to see it so bad. We love La Vi en rose. I love La Vie en rose. So of course I expected something like that. The problem with the overall story is that the relationship between Grace and the Prince isn't all that interesting. They actually spend little time with one another, due to the Prince's absorption with the crisis. There's a confusing sub-plot involving the Prince's sister, who appears to have betrayed Monaco, by passing state secrets to the French (having only seen the film once, I'm not exactly sure of what she was guilty of). The film's scenarists solution is to have Grace decide to conform to the Prince's wishes, by giving up her rebellious streak, and embracing her traditional role as dutiful wife and consort. Hence, considerable time is spent tracking Grace's movements in Paris, while on a big shopping spree.
