i love that henry's like "we have to keep it very casual" and then proceeds to kiss alex very uncasually seconds later lol way to keep it casual henry 😂

watching red white & royal blue reactions has become my new guilty pleasure

I’m so happy that LGBTQ+ dramas like Pose and wholesome romances like RW&RB and Heartstopper have been able to receive widespread acclaim. I hope that their huge success leads to studios creating more LGTBQ+ positive content that can indirectly fight back against the anti-LGBTQ+ politics that have been plaguing society lately.

I LOVE that you get this movie, some ppl just don't get it and criticize every things like URGHH, can't we have a cheesy but heartwarming gay romcom?

nicholas (the guy who plays henry) has an insane filmography lol if u actually look at some of his older films he has had his good share of playing queer roles

I feel like taylor and nick did an amazing job at conveying both of their characters, they have amazing chemistry and THEY'RE SO CUUUUTE!!! I loved this movie sm!

this movie is corny and unrealistic in some aspects but damn is it cute and endearing. I feel like we need more queer movies and series that are not about heartbreak, struggles and even death. this one was such an easy watch for me and I can see it being a lot of people’s escapism type movie, like you put this on when you wanna forget about all the shit going on in the world. a silly little gay romcom 😂 also I really enjoyed Nick and Taylor’s chemistry with each other. I cannot imagine anyone else playing these roles now.

You know what? Your line about the “younger generation” not caring about the royal family is true and I feel like something a real healthy queer relationship would make more people interested because it would make them (royal family) seem much more human.

The intimacy coordinator did a fantastic job

as someone who has read the book and been a fan of it for years...this movie was so so incredible matthew lopez the director and taylor zakhar perez the actor of alex have been a diehard fan of the book and i think it all came together so beautifully nick and taylor's performances were off the charts i love them sm

I really was ready to roll my eyes at this movie before watching but darn it I ate it up and loved the characters chemistry

This movie should've been a mini series cause they rushed a lot of stuff that made this story more compelling and human. For example the emails go on for months, Alex has a whole crisis about his job prospects, Henry's familial issues, and the back and forth between them and their responsibilities. The boys in the book are much more self aware and complex compared to the movie. Still a good movie but if you read the book the movie seems so empty

As someone who has read the book multiple times the movie is incredibly close to source material but at the same time the book has so much more depth in terms of Alex’s sexuality and their whole relationship that a mini series would’ve done them MORE justice. Same actors, same director just… multiple episodes 😭🥰

something that became clear to me while watching this movie is that while I do enjoy sex scenes for the most part, sometimes it just feels so intimate that it feels really strange to be watching. like, the first time they "make love", to quote henry, I loved the whole scene so much but kept looking away because it felt like I was trespassing on this very emotional and intimate moment between them lmao. maybe it was just really good filmmaking for that scene I don't know

Alex and Henry feel like real people at this point, to me. The book, the movie, all the edits and my own thoughts about them have brought them to life in the most endearing way. I don't think I'll ever recover from the effect rwrb has had on me. Love it so so so much. ❤❤❤❤❤

3:20 What actually happened was Henry tried to walk away, Alex reached out to stop him, so Henry SHOVED him away, which knocked him into the cake.

When I saw Nicolas Galitzine in this movie, I was so excited. I remembered him from Handsome Devil, I loved that movie and I love RWRB as much too! ❤ I loved this reaction , and you look flawless as always! 💗💗

I think the reason we weren't sold on Love, Simon but were sold on this is because of the performances of the actors. Like damn. In that bed love scene I had to pause and Google who directed this because that is some hella strong intimacy without feeling cheap or raunchy. And I was shocked to see a male director.

Sophia: This movie is very corny so the mom will win Movie: The mom won Sophia: *Shocked pikachu face*

I just love that Stephen Fry plays the king. Literally gay icon Stephen Fry!!!

Marco finally got over Elle, and found a new identity as the President's son. Meanwhile, Luke left Cassie and the military behind to become a Prince. It's great to see these actors in much better rom coms.

I don't know where did they find these two lead actors, but they did a fantastic job! The chemistry, intimacy is perfect! On that scene , they really were making love! It wasn't just a s*e*x. It was the first time that I saw this gay s*e*x scene so beautiful. Most of them are very quick and rushy. And from behind! It really showed that it was the first time for Alex ,and the first time for Henry with the one he is in love with. I have red the book last year. I mean... great adaptation from the book. And, I think that the museum was a sign that he could feel that he could easily and without fear walk among people and be himself. Dance with someone you like without anyone watching or judging you. And also, don't forget that Henry always wanted to be a writer. So I was not surprised by the emails he sent to Alex! He really knows what to write and how to write!

21:38 She actually DID make a slideshow about Alex dating Henry. Her main concern was if he was using government funds to go visit him (no), and taking him off her campaign.

This book and movie gave me the same endless serotonin that heartstopper did but is more engaging cuz it’s more age appropriate for me 😊 I think this is the first queer story I’ve encountered that that feels like it was made for me ❤

This movie is so good but it came out at the exact moment my love life went to trash and I’ve never felt more alone 😭 SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!

The tweet on the beginning omg 😂 I remember it getting super talked about because people had your same reaction They translated it and got like WHAT For me it's in my native language so from the first time I saw it I was already laughing, it's our little Brazilian way to say stuff like that 🤙

The first movie I ever saw Nick in was High Strung, which is a ballet dance type movie, so seeing him go from that to all these movies lately is crazy. Also loving the videos lately! 💜

I love how much you loved this movie! It really is the cheesy feel good romcom the gays have been waiting for. Also the alcohol was a fun touch lol!

'I'm going to turn my viewing into a drinking game where every time they're intimate, I drink.' Me, having had multiple viewings already (thinking): that bottle is going to be empty by the end of the movie....

I felt the same while watching the sex scene! 😂 I felt like I should step out and give them their privacy ❤

lmao you drinking everytime they kiss is so funny 🤣 you will turn to Annalise Keating by the end of the movie

28:13 this guy doesnt even exist in the book. It was his mom's Republican opponent that did it in a bid to hurt her chances for reelection.

i totally understand and agree that in this day and age basic ass rom coms? they're fun but nothing special. but i also think that as a queer person we have to look at queer cinema in the same way and maybe now we're a lil ways past corny rom coms but queer people aren't! bc our only queer films have been largely tragic and depressing! we deserve cheesy, fun, enjoyable movies too! just bc straight people got theirs in the 80s/90s/early 2000s doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed them now, y'know? so i LOVED what you said about it at the end

A romance movie involving royalties??IM HERE FOR IT and AHHHH omg Sophia you look so good!!!!

I think the key to the museum is kept there for a few people to use, not just Henry, and could be the same with his car key😊 Thanks a lot for your reaction 😊

When she said "gaze, not gays" during the sex scene it reminded me of Cate Blanchett and the misunderstanding about Disney villain gaze and Disney villain gays. Honestly made me laugh

The Brazilian tweet at the beginning 😂 I love our side of twitter

That tweet in Brazilian portuguese, I loved. This represents Brazil more than soccer and samba.

Everyone recognizes Henry’s actor from Cinderella and Purple Hearts, but no one brings up High Strung. I think it is one of his best roles actually and the movie is very underrated.

This movie is just comforting it’s cringe and what ever but that’s the best part about it cause romance movies with straight couples it’s cringe so this just feel good to watch tho the book is better

7:45 It was 2 turkeys, and Alex INSISTED on putting them in his room, and he was calling Henry because it turned out he's scared of them.

I cannot get over this movie, it had me screaming, crying and dying at the same time.💀 Loved your reaction, like, same sis.

Love this movie alot ,they are so cute together and have alot of chemistry ❤in real life Nick and Taylor have the same sense of humor ,bickering and they finish sentences at the same time😅

I had never heard the "sweaty balls" song, and I certainly haven't been living under a rock. Just have always been more of a classical kind of fella - listening to symphonies and operas, etc. But now I definitely know it.

(14:54) A small point: the qualifier "princely" or "noble" should be used to describe Nicholas Galitzine's ancestry rather than "royal".

i was just so pleasantly surprised by this movie. I did have a lot of doubts and i was skeptical, but it ended up being so wholesome instead of trash-y and toxic, i rewatched it twice AND read the book afterwards! It's so nice to have positive LGBTQ+ movies for growing queer teens

5:48 It was the Rio Olympics, and what Henry REALLY said was, "Can you get rid of him?" Henry's explanation is mostly true to the book, with a few details left out: His father was a James Bond actor, and they were specifically visiting the cancer ward, in his honor.

nicholas who plays henry is so good at switching totally up comparing to which movie he is playing in. im so impressed cause just this year he is in red white and royal blue and a movie called bottoms which is like polar opposite!!!

I swear your the only reactor I've found whos reacted to this you lakia, ash and rebecca are definitely my faves

All I know is I went straight to fanfiction and bought the book as well so i could read it... but I ALSO want a sequal to this movie of both alex and henry living their truths together!

Sophia! regarding your comment "look at Henry wearing casual wear" at the 26:18 minute mark.... Prince Henry is wearing Alex's baby blue hoodie when he takes Alex to the museum. It's the hoodie Alex was wearing when he told Nora that Henry had kissed him...the 10:28 minute mark.

it feels illegal to be this early ngl but I LOVED THIS MOVIE IT WAS SO GOOD

When it comes out on VOD you should watch Bottoms as the actor who plays Henry is in there. Just saw it last weekend and its such fun

i love how Alex said that he’s gonna do some very bad things to Henry, but ends up laying on the couch the whole time while it was actually Henry who was doing bad things TO HIM… 👀

I watched the movie, read the book and watched the movie again, I can say that I love both equally 🥰 The book is so detailed on Alex's pov, his realization of his bisexuality, and his love for Henry (which was way longer than he thought 🫣). The book has all of the emails they send to each other and they were so cute! The movie obviously couldnt put everything in but it did its best with the time constraints. Def recommend reading the book tho, its a binge read! 🤗

fun fact the hoodie henry was wearing at the musuem was the hoodie alex was wearing when he told his friend about the new years kiss

I love the dedication with the colours in the outfit😂

This reaction completely earned a like and subscribe. And yes my LGBTQ+ family need these kinds of wholesome content, because for sooooo long our representation in movies has been so godd*amn tragic. You’re awesome!

I love this movie!!! I have watched it 4 times in 1 day and I cannot stop. The book and the movie are great. The chemistry between Nick and Taylor is off the charts!!! I laughed, I cried. Everytime I watch it I see more details and nuances that I missed. The love making scene was perfection!!! Never seen anything like that before. ❤ I have now seen it 19 times, I am not kidding! It just gets better and better!!! ❤❤❤ my new comfort movie

As soon as I saw your video popping up on my feed, I clicked right away. I know I'll be in for some good old romcom appreciation!

As someone who read the book first the movie is def very cute and wholesome but it was severely giving straight-to-TV DCOM with the occasional debauchery that felt tonally out of place. Should’ve been a series a la Young Royals or Heartstopper. So many moments were worth investing more time and attention towards

Great job! This was a really fun video! Your personality is very refreshing! I love this movie! I hope there is a sequel!

love your reaction!! 😭 the editing never fails 🤌🏻

Loved your drinking game reaction!! Really loved this movie and hope there is a sequel.

i’m still sad that june was cut out of this movie (not because we have the same name lol but because i really loved her as a character in the book), i definitely feel like a 1 season tv show would’ve made for a better adaptation, but even so i thought the movie was really fun :D

Yea… here I’m Brazil we have a weird humor … but I promise we are very nice people 😂😂😂 Btw, spoiler alert, in the book Henry leaves the royal family

Top Ten reaction ✨✨✨ You looked like you were having so much fun ❤️ I read the book when it came out and I still really liked this movie. It gives you that Hallmark cheese, plus the clever dialogue, but was still spicy. It kinda reminded me we don't always have to be "cool" -- sometimes we can just enjoy something corny and romantic and as insane as Texas turning blue, lol

I watched this like 4 times 😭 it's so cute. Their chemistry is just unmatched 😍

The queer rom-com I needed…period ☺️

Omg I loved your reactions!! Me too haven’t read the book, and I loved it! The acting, WRITING, timing, editing, directing, producers…love all of it! I think it’s a brilliant, precious, delightful rom-com. This movie is not just sweet for the gays, it’s a beautiful message for everyone to see. - Zian Chavez

I really enjoyed your reaction! You had me chuckling. What a sweet and charming movie.. and yes corny... but in a very good way.

This film is super warm-hearted and seeing you react to it? Even better.

this video was recommended to me and let me just say i instantly subscribed bc i absolutely love ur energy and ur editing is so funny/cute! 🩷

"Is that supposed to be the king?" That is Stephen Fry, actor, author, comedian and activist, British national treasure and gay icon. When he was born, being gay was literally a crime in the UK and would remain so another ten years . Fry came out quite a few years into his career, he has played Oscar Wilde in a highly recommendable1997 biopic, and yes, old school British upper class types really do pronounce "homosexual" like that.

sophia just LOVES the gays

I really enjoyed this movie! The chemistry was there and I love a good cheesy tropey enemies to lovers plot. Your reaction was so fun and I was similarly squealing and verbalizing when I watched the movie; it really evoked something for me. Making it a drinking game was an inspired choice!

I want more movies like this!!! Genuine fun messy cheesy as hell romcoms but queer!! I was skeptical because I also saw the actor in Purple Hearts but he did AMAZING I love him now. The other actor was in Kissing booth lol They both glowed up, great chemistry in this!.

That intro is looking better and better every time ❤🎉 Stay awesome

Look what the world has done to Harry. Remember, Megan is just a woman of color, imagine if she were a man!

You look ravishing with the red hair again. Also, it's nice to have another reaction for this film. The cast is 1 of the most random for a book-to-film adaptation that I've seen in recent months.

There actually is a member of the extended royal family who came out as gay a few years ago. The name escapes me atm, but it was a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II., who came out after being married to a woman for ages. She was cool with it, though, and they've remained on good terms. So good, in fact, that she "gave him away" at the altar when he married his husband. But a member of the immediate royal family, one in direct line for the throne? The press would make their life hell on earth! Look how they went at Harry and Meghan, and those two aren't even a gay couple, "only" interracial. And your hunch that Harry was an inspiration for Henry is 100% correct - Harry was baptized Henry, Harry is sort of a nickname that got stuck.

You flushing and gushing and giggling and just having the time of your life absolutely made my day!! Loved your reaction so much. Lots of love ❤❤

A few things that felt unrealistic: 1. That Alex would be a "classless American" when he would have gone to a prep school and some ivy league university and rub elbows with old money 2. Alex would have experienced racism far more than just "I look different from other people." 3. Henry would have undergone military training AND service (if we model them off of princess Diana's sons) and have a right schedule of appointments for charities, conventions, games, ribbon-cutting, etc--he's not just sitting around looking pretty. It's like they genderswapped the "poor little rich girl" and thought that was enough. Henry, if he went to Eaton as a kid, would probably have his first physical experience there, as those kind of encounters happen in homosocial institutions.

6:35 ghurllll not the cupcakke moan😭😭

The love-making is SO sensual!! From 16:42 where Henry urges him in to 16:52 when Alex is all in and Henry exhales! The intimacy coordinator def knows about bottoming.

I'm stuck with this movie. I can't move on. Your reaction was amazing ❤

Might not have been clear in the movie, but the entire land around there (including the lake) is theirs, and the secret service is around, defending it. So they are quite hard to get close to or spy on.

I love that what made Sofia wanna watch this movie was a tweet of a Brazilian. As a Brazilian, I gotta say, tweets like that are the bare minimum in Brazil. Everybody should learn Portuguese only to enjoy the chaos of Brazilian online interactions.

been waiting for this!!!

It's a cute movie, but personally I think the love story was kinda rushed and there's definitely room for more complex stories and moments in this movie, which I think it deserved. I also think the president's son should have had more awareness on being a public figure, considering.

This seems like such a fun movie to watch

I’m like so excited that there are light toxic lgbtq stories! Like yeah it’s cheesy but that’s what the gay adults like me needed when they were teenagers. You need the representation! This is GOOOOOD representation

26:57 in the book, it was Your Song by Elton John

I also never heard of the “get low” song 😅, i think its just for americans

As a brazilian, I can 100% guarantee, this tweet 0:46 is the most innocent and "cute" tweet that came out of this movie. And yes. . . . the national meaning of this emoji 🥺 its literilly "when u want some d!ck and dont kwon how to ask"

"olhar de pedindo pica" is the biggest new slang out here in Brazil because of that viral tweet and I'm dying that it caught up to you. 😂😂

I watched this movie a lot of times and the single feeling just gets bigger 😂

This has been the enjoyable movie reaction i have seen. I was giggling to your reaction. Thanks 😍😍😍❤

Hello Sophia, I enjoyed this video and the rest of them, I considered myself to doing a movie commentary videos as well. Do you have any advice on how to do them without getting a copyright claim? Hope you have a wonderful night/day. - Kit

This movie triggered romance in so many people ❤ Even straight people.
