The rom-com embraces its R-rating in intimate and forward-thinking ways.
The Big Picture A quick watch of the film’s trailer or a cursory glance at its poster would likely lead most to believe that Amazon Studios’ Red, White & Royal Blue would fit firmly into the collection of PG-13 romantic comedies. And yet, the film actually belongs to the smaller catalog of R-rated rom-coms. Directed by Matthew López, the film centers on the romance between Alex Claremont-Diaz , son of President Ellen Claremont , and Henry Hanover-Stuart Fox , a British prince.
When the film does engage with sex comedy, it is most often through the language of innuendo. Throughout their romance, Alex and Henry repeatedly go back and forth with cheeky insinuations. After an interrupted make-out session in the Red Room, the two share innuendos back and forth about Henry’s erection. These aren’t played as simple, sex-centric punchlines.
Additionally, even the soundtrack benefits from the lack of language restriction, as Lil John and the Eastside Boyz’ party anthem “Get Low," playing during an unexpectedly prominent and sweet role during the New Year’s Eve party that leads to Alex and Henry’s first kiss, gets to keep its more explicit lyrics.
