Overall, the movie failed to capture the charm and wit of the book. Rachel Handler,Jackson McHenry reported

Uma Thurman’s accent in the movie adaptation of Red, White, & Royal Blue is described as an attempt at a Southern accent that falls short. The article criticizes the forced and surreal scene where Uma lectures her son about Truvada, HPV, and sexual experiences, calling it a bad parody of liberal ideals. The performances in the movie, particularly that of Taylor Zakhar Perez, are compared to a Disney Channel original gay porn, with over-the-top acting and gratuitous sex scenes. The movie is said to vacillate between a bland network-sitcom feel and explicit sex scenes, creating a tonal dissonance. The chemistry between the two main characters, played by Perez and Nicholas Galitzine, is criticized as feeling off due to the stark contrast in their performances. The article also points out various flaws in the movie, such as cheap visuals, poor costume choices, and underdeveloped crowd scenes. Overall, the movie is described as a disappointing adaptation that fails to capture the charm and wit of the original book..
