‘Red, White & Royal Blue’: Boy meets prince in predictable rom-com

Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine, left) and the U.S. president’s son, Alex (Taylor Zakhar Perez), have their cake and wear it too in “Red, White & Royal Blue.” (Prime Video)

 Oh no. That wedding cake looks like trouble.

It’s one of the largest wedding cakes in the history of movies, and as it looms so huge in the near background at a reception, looking wobbly on its stand, as two characters bicker with one another, bobbing this way and that, that we know it’s only a matter of time before that enormous ivory wedding cake is going to come crashing down. We are not disappointed, nor are we amused. It’s a cheap physical gag rendered utterly impotent by its utter predictability and slapstick payoff.
