A Royal Christmas (2014 TV Movie)
2/10
Very predictable and full of clichés
5 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This was on Netflix and because I like royalty movies and Jane Seymor, I thought to give this a try.

As the previous reviews have said, this is VERY predictable. Too typical princess/prince movie and the writing was so lazy. This has probably all the clichés you could imagine. Prince studies in America, falls in love with a girl, who is SO down to Earth that immediately everyone else likes her, except the Queen. But you don't have to wonder if the Queen will like her at the end...

And of course there is an ex-girlfriend, who is royal and who the Queen loves and wants her son to marry, the prefect match made in heaven. Yep, "never" seen that before. And what bothered me was that the girlfriend looked like 10 years older than the prince.

The acting is almost okay, not the most convincing, but not as terrible as in some other movies I've seen. Stephen Hagan lacked charm and Lacey Chabert was cute, but didn't really manage to deliver the character's feelings. Jane was the best, but not at her best. In my opinion Princess diaries' Julie Andrews was better Queen.

I think kids would love this movie, but as an adult, who has seen her share of movies, this was nothing but waste of time. The movie lost its entertainment value, because of all the clichés.
