Editorial Review:
On the day of his marriage to Princess Gwendolyn, Prince John finds himself in a compromising situation with a damsel in distress. As punishment, he and his squire, Rodney (Martin Short), are subjected to a "frogging," transforming them into frogs for all eternity, or until the prince can convince a maiden not only to kiss him but also marry him. After centuries on the pond, John and Rodney are accidentally transported to New York's Central Park and an amazing new world full of taxis, skyscrapers, graffiti and-of course-damsels. In no time at all, the prince gets his kiss and he and Rodney return to human form. But staying that way won't be easy. It's streetwise Kate (Christina Applegate) who has captured John's heart, but, unfortunately, she's not the woman he kissed. In order to break the curse forever, he must convince Margo (Bernadette Peters), a Broadway diva, to marry him.
Prince Charming Reviews:
Prince Charming - Excellent DVD 
2009-09-22 - Hello I'm an autistic adult.
This is my review on Prince Charming - DVD.
I rented this movie from my local library & found it to be absolutely delightful & charming. The movie is about a knight & a squire who get turned into frog's for the knight has dishonored the kingdom by making out with a different woman from whom he was to marry. Hence forth the knight and squire get turned into frog's & end up 500 years in the future & end up working in play's written by shakespeare.
I'm not going to tell anymore of the movie the rest you'll have to watch. What I can say is at the end of the movie it practically had me in tears because of such a beatiful ending. Rent or buy this movie you won't reget it. It's an interesting beatiful movie. A must watch for those who are into true love & the reinassance era.
By the way I absolutely loved Martin Short's & Christina Applegates performance in this movie as actors & actresses. Oh & if your looking for a movie that is funny this movie has that too.
Happy Movie Hunting!
Poor and boring film 
2009-01-02 - I saw many fearie tale becames movies, but tyhis one has no charme, no magic and makes you waste your time
Prince Charming is Charming
2008-08-27 - I have loved this movie since seeing it on TV. I have looked for it for the past several years and am so glad to see it here in DVD. It has a very heartwarming story line in a fractured fairytale format. It is enjoyable for all ages and of course Martin Short adds his unique style of humor to make this truly enjoyable. It would make a great family viewing buy.
*A Charming Romantic Comedy!*
2008-05-12 - I really enjoyed this movie.It is definitely worth watching for true romantics.I think Christina Applegate was wonderful in this.Just a delight to watch.
3.5 stars really 
2008-04-09 - It was a slightly better then average movie but since it's obviously made for TV, judging it on that basis would have earned it 4 stars. I know I shouldn't like this movie. It was corny, we're talking silos here, but it was still enjoyable. I know Prince Charming started off as a cad (that was the point) but it did show his reformation thru true love. Martin Short did his usual schtick and it was amusing in parts. The frog years were hilarious and made the movie. Due to his inappropriate behavior, Prince Charming and his Squire (Martin Short) were sentenced to a "frogging." They were turned into frogs until Prince Charming could get a lady to kiss him. He would then return to being a man but had to get the lady, his one true love, to marry him before the next full moon or they would be condemned to being frogs forever and ever. Prince Charming's return to manhood was the result of a kiss by Bernadette Peters, playing an aging starlit named Margo who refused to admit her age. Her love interest (Hamish/Billy Connelly) was a stereotypical cad so this should be easy. But he meets Christina Applegate and things get tricky. The whole heroine must believe the hero is from another time period has been done better (and by Applegate herself in The Visitors) but it works. Prince Charming must marry Bernadette Peters to remain a man but he falls in love with Christina Applegate. We see the Prince mature and become a real man as he comes to terms with the real meaning of love. It's a fairy tale so of course you know how it will ultimately end but getting there was fun.
The movie made me laugh (those frog years were pretty funny) and although the script was not great, it was watchable. It's a movie to watch on a rainy day or if you need a fairy tale to take you away for a moment.
