July Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss4 of 29
The Princess | Premieres on Hulu on Friday, July 1
Plot: When a princess (Joey King) refuses to wed the sociopath to whom she is betrothed, she is kidnapped and locked in a remote tower of her father's castle. With her scorned suitor intent on taking her father's throne, the princess must protect her family and save the kingdom.
Our Take: Rapunzel meets The Raid. Sleeping Beauty meets John Wick. These are the genre mash-ups that inspired director Le-Van Kiet to make this action/dark comedy movie that is determined to smash the damsel in distress trope to bits. I love the career that Joey King is carving out, and wasn't Dominic Cooper born to play the bad guy more often? — Arno
