“Red, White & Royal Blue” is a charming LGBTQ romantic comedy – if you can get past a career-worst performance from Uma Thurman.
The story follows Alex Claremont-Diaz , a bisexual law school student who is the “first son” of the United States, since his mom, Ellen Claremont , is the President.
Following that disaster, Alex is forced to pretend that he and Henry are best buds to mitigate the resulting media crisis during his mom’s re-election bid. Alex and his mom, President Claremont .Soon enough, sparks fly between Alex and Henry. But because they’re both public figures — and Henry feels pressured to stay in the closet — they must keep their relationship secret.
Secret service agent Amy is also an amusing and scene-stealing highlight in a movie that’s largely uninterested in its side characters. Alex and Henry communicate by phone calls and text messages for much of the story, and “Red, White & Royal Blue” handles that in inventive and visually appealing ways.Their winsome performances save “Red, White & Royal Blue” from its faults, like its shallow politics, which usually makes sense for a rom-com but not one with such a firm political setting. And then, there’s Uma Thurman.
