Skip it. With a 21% on Rotten Tomatoes and middling scores across the board, this well-intentioned historical drama fails to find its footing—it's a snoozefest that squanders a fascinating true story. Unless you're specifically hunting for obscure period pieces, your time is better spent elsewhere.
Plot
Ka'iulani, a 19th-century Hawaiian princess, is raised in England but determined to maintain her people's independence from aggressive American businessmen. After being sent to England as a child by her Scottish father, Ka'iulani returns to Hawaii and becomes a political activist who fights to retain her throne, even though she must leave her English paramour.
