Yes to Crown for Christmas
After I watched the movie I discovered the actress played Winnie in the Wonder Years 1988-1993 she is now about 40. She plays a 31 year old in this film which was fine. I enjoyed it and it was fairly well done but I probably would not watch it again because it got a bit too predictable at the end. The lead actress was great and yes there was a purposeful imitation to the Sound of Music. Her character was to be adored by all. When asked to give a toast "here's to those who have seen us at our best and at our worst but cannot tell the difference" Enjoyed seeing the King being taken with her "speaking her mind" manner. Loved the King's daughter. Much was very well done in the movie. The horse scene with the King was excellent.
Best royal Hallmark film yet!
A Crown for Christmas is by far the very best movie Hallmark has made in years! Before this, A Princess for Christmas held that spot. I love movies that have a wonderful love story, and then have royalty added in. Where A Princess for Christmas lacked (small details like bad costumes, and cheap tiaras) A Crown for Christmas makes up! The castle they filmed in was beautiful, the casting was excellent! (The Princes little girl was PERFECTION!!) The main characters really had on-screen chemistry, the same way Crown for Christmas and Princess for Christmas did! While predictable, the story was still VERY engaging and entertaining! I wish Hallmark would make more of The Royal themed Christmas movies -especially over in Eastern Europe inside real castles. I LOVE when they cast the movies with unknowns. These (somewhat) unknowns, really have A LOT of talent!! I can't say any one character in this movie (or the other) was annoying, sappy, or irritating to watch. The costumes were beautiful, and didn't look like bridal shop rejects, except, when princess Theodora has an orange bow in her hair with a red dress (still bothers me every single time I watch it. (Oh, And they hemmed the dresses on the main characters!!!) I own a bridal boutique and would Happily Donate New Tiaras to Hallmark for filming these movies. And dresses, for that matter! (That really look regal!). The locations didn't look like the same old tired, usual Pacific west coast or Salt Lake City locations used in SOOOOOoooo many of the other movies they do. This movie left me with the "warm and fuzzies." ~ I want to see their Royal Wedding now! Oh, and Hallmark, if you're reading this... PLEASE STOP IT WITH THE ONE-KISS WONDER IN E V E R Y SINGLE MOVIE. *Even in Family movies, showing affection with kisses is a normal, sweet way to express how people feel. The utterly STUPID interrupted kiss before the one final kiss is enough to make me want to change the station when I see it coming. Stop Dumbing things down. Please. Really.... Please. You insult intelligence. It's not like we don't "get" the whole family friendly format, but seriously? Cast members dialog is dumbed-down in sooooo many movies (not this one) you'd think you were watching Men-Child and Women-Child behavior. Enough with the only drinks allowed in the movies: Egg Nog, Hot Cocoa, and Hot Cider. People drink wine and sodas. A hot toddy can be extremely festive! I give THIS movie a Solid TEN!
One Of The Better Ones!
Christmas movies can be really stupid and schmaltzy and most of them I can't stand. I ended up looking for something to watch this afternoon and came across this movie and decided to give it a try. This was very well done. Yes, you have some typical things going on that many feel good happy-ending type movies have in common, but this is one of the ones to not miss. Great cast all-around with great casting nods especially to the actor who played the king and the actor who portrayed his executive assistant. Even though you see many similar things in the story line that can be found in other similar films, this one was a bit more complex and well rounded and just overall, well done. I enjoyed this very much and will probably watch again. Loved it!!!
A great Hallmark movie!
I've been watching a TON of Hallmark movies this holiday season, since Hallmark and AT&T U-verse recently came to terms over content rights. I think the acting in this movie is the best I have seen. There have been a few Hallmark Christmas movies on TV this season that have been just painful to watch - no chemistry between actors and bad acting. This was a refreshing change. Worth the time! Sure, the story line is familiar...young, beautiful girl bumps into handsome man who happens to be a king and unavailable..sort of. She is hired to be a governess for his high-spirited daughter at their European home and the attraction between the two starts. Of course, there is a Christmas Eve Ball and he asks the governess to attend. She looks absolutely gorgeous in a borrowed gown and the king can't take his eyes off of her. A "happily ever after" ending comes with the king professing his love for her. Every girl's dream is to have a prince or king sweep her off her feet...Disney has sold us on this story line over the years, haven't they?
It is a quite good Christmas movie!
I really liked watching Danica McKellar's character from being a maid to becoming a princess. I liked her quirkiness and the fact, she stole the king's daughters heart by spending time with her as a governess. Ellie Botterill as the little princess, was absolutely adorable and so pretty like, I could definitely see her big in the future somewhat. She really is a great little star! Alexandra Evans was a good actress too with playing the "future queen" hopeful. She would be even pretty as the queen too but as you know with fairy tales, they go for the pretty ones to be left out and shouldn't be married to the "ultimate king". This is a good Christmas movie, its even a good excuse to kill time by watching it.
