Sophia Grace and Rosie’s Royal Adventure
is a film made exclusively for the enjoyment of this young duo’s previously
existing fan-base, which I am assuming must be extremely young. I had never
heard of them; though I am sure I had seen them do a red carpet interview at
some point, I must have blissfully blocked it from my memory. If only I could
do the same with this straight-to-video disaster of cuteness. It will make you
long for the days of the Olsen twins, at the very least. Really, the only time
this act has truly worked is when it was done by Shirley Temple, and every
young imitator ends up looking like a bad contestant on “Toddlers &
Tiaras.”
These two little
performers first arrived as mini celebrities in 2011 when they performed on “The
Ellen DeGeneres Show,” and have stuck around since then like gum on the soles
of viewer’s shoes. The overly cute contrived performances make their way to
Switzelvania to meet a princess being chosen for coronation as the queen. They
get a magic duck along the way, giving the girls wishes amidst the hyperactive
dance sequences and shrilly spoken dialogue. Anyone over the age of 12 watching
this film seems unlikely and slightly creepy.
The storyline has more twists and
turns, including a conspiracy amongst the princesses to keep the
super-hero-dressing sister from any chance at being queen. The young reporters
are sent by Ellen to do something unclear, but instead end up giving lessons
and a makeover to the princess in order to help her win the crown. It is a
strange film with odd logic and sugar-induced hyperactivity in place of
dialogue or direction.
The combo pack includes a Blu-ray,
DVD and digital HD copy of the film. There is also an activity booklet included
with the package, and a handful of special features. The best of the special
features include a collection of their moments from “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,
and a blooper reel. The worst of the extras includes a featurette about the
color pink and why the young girls like it so much. There are also sing-a-long
versions of the films original songs.
