“A Prince in Paradise,” starring Mitchell Bourke and Rhiannon Fish, is an impressive new romantic comedy.

It premiered on Great American Family on Saturday, January 7, and it is a part of the network’s 2023 “Great American Winter” series, and their first movie of 2023.

The synopsis of “A Prince in Paradise” is as follows: Olivia (Rhiannon Fish), struggling with writer’s block after a break up, takes a tropical holiday in hope of some inspiration and meets Prince Alexander (Mitchell Burke), who needs some distance from his duty to marry royalty.

Adrian Powers did a solid job with this film’s direction, and the lead actors shine in their acting performances all compliments to a warm and heartfelt screenplay.

With Rhiannon Fish, the viewer can recall Jennifer Lawrence meets Natalie Portman (“No Strings Attached”) while the suave Mitchell Bourke possessed the charm and zest of Hugh Dancy (“The Jane Austen Book Club”) meets Patrick Dempsey (“Enchanted”).

Veteran actress Andrea Moor also delivers in the supporting role of Queen Patricia, Prince Alexander’s mother, and she has good chemistry with Dirk Hunter, who plays Ridley.

Also, the film’s cinematography is visually striking, and it helps teleport viewers to Australia’s tropical realms. It has a liberating vibe to it, which will help provide an escape for the audience. “A Prince in Paradise” is worth checking out, and it garners two thumbs up. Bravo.
