Review of Princess Kaiulani (2010) by Lee M — 12 Mar 2017

Princess Ka'iulani (Q'orianka Kilcher): What my father is saying is that I'm grateful to be a guest and would never.

Presume to talk about the politics of Hawaii, which reminds me of this hen.

President Cleveland (Peter Banks): Hen reminds you of Hawaii?

Princess Ka'iulani (Q'orianka Kilcher): "It does actually. Natural, unspoiled, perfect. For as long as anyone can remember, pepper has been the perfect seasoning for hen." She pours pepper. "Lately though, salt, a white mineral from.

The sea has been the fashion." She pours salt. "Careful to add just a bit, as the perfect balance can be easily upset." Then she pours cumin. "Should you introduce an American spice such as cumin, the salt is fortified, the hen destroyed." Princess Ka'iulani gets up to let President Cleveland have a taste. "Mr. President if you please.".

President Cleveland (Peter Banks): Has a taste, grunts, and spits it. "Terrible. Tell me, how do we restore natural.

Flavor?".

Princess Ka'iulani (Q'orianka Kilcher): Cumin has no place on the hen.

President Cleveland (Peter Banks): Well Princess, I only have four weeks left in office. But I promise to do what I can to halt the use of cumin. You need to get your spices in order quickly young lady. President-elect McKinley is from Ohio and as far as I know, not a very good cook.

Q'orianka Kilcher, who portrayed the lead role (Hawaiian princess Ka'iulani), did a pretty decent job but no offense to her performance; I just found the way she portrayed Ka'iulani in her youth a bit annoying. I know they were trying to portray the innocence of youth, hence Ka'iulani being all giggly, but it was just a little too stereotypical and came across a bit disingenuous. But overall, the film was really interesting and the rest of the supporting cast did a good job portraying each of their roles. The subject of the film was good, the plot was a bit too idealistic but overall very it was a very enlightening film.
