WATCH: Interviews with “Red, White & Royal Blue” stars Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine
So glad I had nothing on my calendar last night because I was able to come home, relax and watch the latest episode of And Just Like That which I am absolutely loving this season. Then watched the new Amazon Prime Video movie Red, White & Royal Blue and it was just great! It has the feel of a Hallmark movie but it’s a gay love story and the two men happened to be the son of the president of the United States and the grandson of the King of England!
It’s romantic, it’s sexy at times and the actors Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine are believable in their roles – and so cute. I appreciate the arc of both characters as they navigate their surprising feelings for each other, coming out to family, and the intense public scrutiny they have to cope with.
I think I’ll watch the movie again this weekend because it made me happy. Despite the current disgusting backlash against LGBTQ+ rights, I can feel grateful for all of the queer-themed content now in the mainstream that is easily accessible.
Check out Red, White and Royal Blue and let me know what you think!

I loved Red, White and Royal Blue as well.
I usually don’t gravitate towards these types of movies but I needed something to watch. I am glad I did. I love the arc and the chemistry between the two. I wanted to kick the ass of the reporter who you and I know what he did. I am glad that Joy R. and Rachel M. were in the film. What would make it even better if Rachel handed off to Steve K.-and the big board-to give the election update? That would be a trifecta. I loved Alex’s Secret Service Agent. The speech that Alex gave after the incident from the White House Press Room was well written. Did you catch the line that Henry said about him being in an all-male boarding school before they “made love?” I just wish I had this type of acceptance growing up in the 60s and 70s.
PS-“I am absolutely loving this season. Then watched the new Amazon Prime Video movie Red, White & Royal Blue and it was just great! It has thew feel of a Hallmark movie but…” Do you see your typing error? It should read “It has the feel of a Hallmark movie…”

I freaking LOVED it! Both leads were hot very close if I had to pick one Taylor has the edge with those eyes!

I was so excited to see this and my BF and I gave up after less than 30 minutes. It was dreadful. Terrible performances. On-the-nose plotting that had no imaginative spark. The supposed “chemistry” between the leads was non-existent in my opinion. For a directorial debut, Matthew López’s effort was downright embarrassing. He should stick to writing.
