I haven’t seen it. And I have no desire to. I’m sure there are better and surer ways to kill a lovely real-life romance for the general public. Divorce. Over-exposure. Super-incompatibility. Okay, there are heaps of ways – but come on. A made-for-TV (or possibly straight-to-DVD) movie? Starring actors with only the barest superficial resemblance to the real people? With some pretty cheesy dialogue? If the trailer is any indication of the rest of the movie (and by many accounts, it is), then the film is pure mush.
It was coming, I suppose, but Will and Kate deserve way better than this.

I’m sure I can’t be the only one old enough to remember – and watch – the Charles and Diana movie. Or am I?
Yes, the Nora Roberts’ movies were Lifetime. John Grisham gets major Hollywood treatment and the most successful woman writer gets Lifetime.
I didn’t notice it being aired in Canada before the wedding; it sounds like something the W channel would run (W=Women’s channel, which can be pretty much relied upon for lots and lots of romantic movies from the 1980s – like that one about the American woman in Greece who finds romance with a hot middle-aged Mediterranean? Rita? Teresa? Something like that.)
Weren’t the Nora Roberts movies Lifetime movies?
I think they aired this in Germany, too (or maybe it was Austria or Switzerland, German speaking anyway), to coincide with the wedding. (As well as the equally uninteresting film about Felipe and Letizia of Spain and one about some other royal couple).
Having zapped past the first two one on my search for anything else to view, I can only report I decided to read instead ;-)
At least it was on free TV, so nobody had to waste money on it.

Jean, this aired on Lifetime here in the U.S. a week or so before the wedding. (No, I didn’t watch it.) Lifetime movies can pretty much be relied upon for cheap production values, no name (or faded) stars, and melodramatic plotlines.
