“Cookie Queens,” a feelgood film in which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make their debut as executive producers, receives negative reviews and reportedly performs weakly at the box office. The movie follows Girl Scouts as they make cookies to raise funds for a charity.
According to the outlets, some critics describe the film using disparaging comparisons to a “reality-show ramble,” and at least one cinema-goer is quoted advising audiences not to spend money on it. The reports also frame the response as a setback for the couple’s Hollywood ambitions, noting that the film’s reception and commercial results are failing to meet expectations. The coverage focuses on the contrast between the film’s light, charitable premise and the unfavorable audience and critic reaction.
While both sources emphasize the same core points—Harry and Meghan’s executive-producer role, the Girl Scouts cookie fundraising plot, and the film’s poor reception—the language used highlights different aspects: one stresses critic characterizations, while the other highlights the overall “blow” from reviews and box-office results.
