SOPHIA GRACE & ROSIE A ROYAL ADVENTURE

The movie Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure reminds me of a Cinderella fairy tale. There are two bratty sisters and a very innocent one named Abigail. It is similar to the Cinderella story because Abigail has two girls looking out for her as if they are her fairy godmothers. This movie is definitely an exciting royal adventure.

The story begins when Sophia Grace and Rosie are sent on a special assignment to meet the princesses of Switzelvania to see which one will be crowned Queen. However, they loose their guardian and become mistaken as the King's great grand nieces. They end up having to teach the King's daughter, Princess Abigail, the ways of being a real princess. In the process, they get thrown into a dungeon because the bratty princesses (Abigail's sisters) don't want her to become Queen. However, at least they have their secret weapon. To find out what that is, you will have to watch the movie. In the end, everyone gets what they deserve!

My favorite part is when the security guard tells the guardian, Phyllis Bunt (Amy Louise Wilson) that she can get out of jail if she reveals her true identity. She gives a made up name of Dynasty Composition knowing no one believes her real identity anyway. However, the security guard lies and won't let her out. Phyllis then jumps the security guard, ties her up and duck tapes her mouth. I didn't see that coming! It was hysterical.

All the characters are great, especially Princess Cordilla (Emma Pierson) one of the princesses who makes fun of Abigail. She has a funny voice and isn't very smart and plays the part well. The main idea of this movie is that if you believe in yourself, you can make anything happen.

I recommend this movie for kids ages 5 through 12. Specifically, girls will enjoy this movie, as every girl wants to imagine herself as a princess at some point. Therefore, I rate this movie a four out of five "dazzling" stars! Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure is available now on DVD.

Eleven-year-old Sophia Grace Brownlee and eight-year-old Rosie McClelland are irresistible as singers, dancers, Red Carpet correspondents, and charming guests on The Ellen DeGeneres Show -- and now as talented actresses in this lively and entertaining family film.

Playing themselves in the movie, the adorable British cousins are sent to Switzelvania as Ellen's correspondents to cover the coronation of a new queen. They find two princesses aggressively vying for the job, and are determined to do whatever it takes to help the kind and true -- but shy - third princess gain confidence and, ultimately, the throne.

Hijinks and adventures ensue, punctuated by well-choreographed song and dance production numbers, cameo appearances by a magic duck, and the encouraging message that being yourself - and believing in yourself - will win the day.

Silly enough for giggles from young audiences, yet with enough cleverness for the older set (including parents), the film successfully borrows from classics as far afield as Cinderella, Aladdin and King Lear! Energetic and fine performances from the supporting cast, high production values, and fast-paced editing add to the plotlines.

Sophia Grace and Rosie's Royal Adventure appeals largely to girls ages 5 through 12, and to their fans who have followed their ascent to stardom from their original viral videos, to Ellen's show, and now to their own feature film. I watched the movie with an audience of girls, boys, and adults, and while some jokes might have gone over the heads of the younger kids, there was plenty of action and fun to keep everyone captivated.
