A Royal Night Out goes the zany romantic-comedy route in its fictional depiction of two British princesses partying with commoners at the end of World War II.

In the end, it's difficult to reconcile the young Elizabeth depicted here with the monarch whose reign spans the longest in British history. The two just don't match up.

A Royal Night Out is a film of enormous charm, texture and good will, thanks largely to the three leads.

A sweet and charming dramedy with a shade of Roman Holiday. Sarah Gadon is terrific as young Elizabeth, able to capture the future queen’s calm countenance and earthy spirit.
