I generally enjoy Hallmark Entertainment movies. The Snow Queen, The Secret Garden, and Snow White were well-made fairy-tale movies. Although Prince Charming does try to make a modern love story from the Frog Prince story, it fails in its execution. It needed more story. The movie did not explain why they survived as frogs for so long without aging or dying. And having watched LOTR, the names of the kingdoms sounded totally middle-earth, I got lost in its generic names.
The worst part of the movie is the ending. The ending made no sense! Major plot hole that I fell through. The ending was too sickly sweet for me.
I would have given this movie a 1, but because the actor that portrayed the Prince was very nice to look at, I gave it a 2. Christina Applegate did a mediocre job as the lead lady in the story. Usually I love Bernadette Peters and her adept quality at portraying evil women, but it felt like the film makers didn't want to make her too evil character. *sigh* I just wish the story was a little more fleshed out before they made it a movie, even a made for TV movie.
