Awesome Movie

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I have seen other Netflix productions of high quality, this is not one of them. What happened here I do not know, after watching the movie I am left with the impression that this was made in a hurry.The base story line is actually ok and had potential, this is a light feel good romantic Christmas story, so the basic story is exactly what we who love this type of movies are looking for. Unfortunately, the film is ruined by bad acting, over caricatured characters, bad writing and poor dialog, also bad/cheap quality in the production. For example, seeing pictures of the newspapers web sites, they don't even look like real web pages, and that should not be a hard thing to make.I think children probably will like this, with the over simplification and over characterizing that often helps children understanding the story, for us adults it is painful to watch. The look of the castle in Christmas lights is stunning and beautiful. The casting of actors Ben Lamb as the Prince and Alice Krige as the Queen is a good match, but they can only do so much with the lines they have been given.Summary: If only Netflix had spent some more time in developing the dialog and story and looked for better actors this could have been great.

Let's forget about the corny plot. Of course, a movie titled "A Christmas Prince" can't be that intriguing as in terms of the storyline. Therefore, one could conclude that the charm of the leads could help propel the film or at least make it consumable to the Netflix audience-of course it's not the case here! The main problem seems to be the prince. Ben Lamb has absolutely no charm on screen. Makes you wonder how he got this lofty role as the prince and Rose McIver is no Reese Witherspoon. The pairing of McIver and Lamb had no chemistry. The prince is too much of a wimp and the journalist is rather dull. Overall, a very disappointing movie.

Netflix clearly didn't intend to make this film a masterpiece or Oscar-worthy . A Christmas Prince is a film made for us to enjoy and relax for the holiday, It's a light-hearted comedy romance that you would feel warm and happy when you watch it. It is typical but it was meant to be like that so just open up,relax your brain and let your feeling flows. The film made me tear up a bit and I think you would too. After all the hard time,just sit down and watch movies like this one and you will definitely feel lighter and calm. The acting coming from the cast is decent except I don't find the acting of the Prince convincing, otherwise it's all good. Just enjoy it as it's meant to be,don't try to get into the details too deep or try to find plot holes,it's made to make you feel happy in the upcoming holiday.

This movie is like a pretty Christmas package that you unwrap only to find another layer of packaging and so forth to the center with no actual present ever, but in a good way, because if you actually get to the content of a Christmas present you would find out if anybody actually knows and cares enough to give you a meaningful gift and you never wanted that, you just wanted the cozy feeling of seeing a tree with gifts under it and then the lovely idea that we're all about to be nice to each other for once. This movie is that feeling. You should watch it. I did.
