I am disappointed to say that this is only for the kiddies. Anyone older than a tween will probably be bored unless they're into movies for the tween crowd. I'm a teenager, and I don't want some sickeningly sweet, boring children's movie, even though this is made with a younger audience in mind, I just wish that it was more appealing for teenagers.The girls are sent off to Switchervania, what a confusing title, that almost sounds like Switcherland! Where they find many strange things, even a magic goose! They sneak pass the guards where they meet princesses and even have their own bedroom. The plot meanders before towards the end when they try to crown a beautiful woman instead of a witch.The plot is the same we've seen a thousand times before, and the characters are just the beautiful woman, evil woman, two cute kids with bratty faces being precocious. Even there was no clear story.Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure was a cash cow on the girls from the Ellen Degeneres show. Too girly for boys and too childish for teens. Sophia Grace and Rosie are pretty cool, I know that they are just kids but I am not fond of their singing, dancing acting. They scream through out half of the film like 5-year-olds. I wish these people were in better films than this. This movie is full of bad acting, obvious dialogue, over-explanatory backstory, and not enough conflict. "Easy-peasy"I guess the kids had fun doing this movie but the superhero girl looks like she was cringing doing this stupid movie. This movie needs more originality. Even when you think that the movie was going to put something good in there, it just keeps going downhill.And then there's the happy ending. Oh my gosh, Ellen Degeneres, please don't torture me with another movie like this again!Grade: D+

I have watched you girls since you first appeared on the Ellen show! I have watched you grow up and just now finished watching your movie. I thought you girls did a wonderful job and I thoroughly enjoyed your movie! It looks like you had a ton of fun! I look forward to seeing what you will do next. By the way, your moms and dads have done a fantastic job raising you to be the great little ladies you are and I hope they are very proud of you both! I always tell my friends, Rosie, how you said you were like a sack of potatoes ..and Rosie... You have become quite a great dancer with a ton of great moves. Sophia grace.. I love your contagious enthusiasm. Don't stop being you!

My daughter is 7 and is responsible for the 10 rating on this movie.Obviously it's not an Oscar winning movie, but it is on a par with the movies that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen used to do when they were young.It's a cute story about the Ellen Show sending the 2 girls to an invented country to report on the coronation of a new queen being chosen from 3 princesses, one of whom is socially inept in almost every way. This is where the girls excel by helping the hapless princess to discover her true inner princess.There are lots of cute songs, lots of genuinely cute moments as these adorable kids take over the whole movie.If you have kids under 10, especially girls, they will likely have a lot of fun.As a parent, I found it cute and not as annoying as some of the cheaper straight to video kids movies out there.In all, I'd say definitely rent it, your kids will be giggling and you'll be dancing along with all the catchy songs.And remember, it's aimed at under 10 year old girls really, so don't expect rocket science and if you really don't care for these 2 girls then avoid this one like the plague because they are in virtually every scene. (In my opinion they steal every scene with their totally lovable personalities!) As an adult I'd give this a solid 6/10, but as I said before, my 7 year old is the one I based my rating on and she said 10/10.I can see a lot more movies for these girls, perhaps with a slightly better storyline!

I am a watcher of the Ellen show and love these two adorable girls. I smile for days after I've seen them. Mind you I am a 67year old grandmother of four. On May 20th I went immediately to the store to buy the video. Number one, I wanted to support them , and number two I saw the trailer and thought I wanted to see more. They were terrific and the story was silly but very fun. A very upbeat and happy movie. The cast was very professional, the scenes, lighting, costumes were on par with the best of them. The girls threw in many of their "cheesy" expressions, which I found endearing. I hope my grandkids, who don't know Rosie and Sophia Grace, will enjoy it. Personally, I will have no trouble watching it a second and maybe a third time. If you love them on Ellen, by all means, spend the money, it was worth every penny. It is a great opportunity to be a little kid with them for awhile.
