Synopsis
The Unlikely Prince (Il principe abusivo, 2013) is an Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. The princess of a tiny European principality is starved for headlines: while she cuts ribbons at veterinary clinics, her father rules from behind a laptop full of internet smut, and reporters yawn. So she manufactures a scandal of her own.
On the butler's advice, she picks the laziest slacker in the realm — a small-time goofball named Antonio — and stages a whirlwind romance for the cameras. Strolls, candlelit dinners, tipped-off paparazzi. The press eats it up and a royal wedding is announced. Trouble is, Antonio turns out to be far sharper than the loser he was hired to play.
Director Alessandro Siani casts himself as Antonio and hands the father role to Christian De Sica, a fixture of Italian screen comedy. It's a breezy, no-strings farce for an evening when you just want to laugh. Stream The Unlikely Prince (2013) online on iFILM.
