Das Weihnachtskarussell

Really disappointed in Rachel Boston too opinionated too blunt her characters are usually great.I have always been a fan this one is a bust.Ralph Hughes as dad bad hair and so much smaller than his daughter. Neal Bledsoe pretty good but should have been better with the beautiful Carousel scenery .really disappointing Hallmark losing its edge other channels do so much better.

I haven't always been a fan of Rachel Boston. She has tried to portray an over the top quirky and adorable 20 year old character for far too long. She needed to realize that she's older and needed to act more her age. Then came her movie the previous year about the competitive family inn's. I loved that movie. It was my favorite of last Christmas. She was finally more believeable, mature and appealing. I looked forward to seeing her in a movie for the first time ever. This movie was a little disappointing. The male actor was great, I'd love to see him cast in more movies in the future. Rachel Boston just didn't make sense. I didn't feel it. It wasn't believable and she didn't seem like a good fit with the future King. She kind of barreled over royal behaviors and traditions and it just wasn't endearing to me. I still liked the movie well enough though.

5/10 - I usually love royal Christmas movies, but this one just felt bland and uninspired

OoooFfff.. Painfully BAD. I'll be the first to admit I love a well done "royal" Christmas movie, and always look forward to them each year. They're hit or miss, and this one is realllllllllyyyyyyy a MISS. Rachel Boston is at the top of my "I wish they'd retire" list, and Neal Bledsoe is pretty hard to watch as well. It seems like Hallmark was trying to emulate the "nostalgia" of A Godwink Christmas (with the carousel), and the sentiments of Christmas with a Prince (equally as bad... -maybe even worse). Like another said, this year has been a lame year for Hallmark. I'll take Quality of Quantity, too!! There's basically nothing to spoil, since the story is predictable within the first 5 minutes. The best royal movies, in my opinion will remain: A Princess for Christmas, Crown for Christmas, and A Royal Christmas. Watch at your own risk. *And Hallmark, should you read this...... PLEASE just STOP using the same tired actors and actresses. And for the love of ALL that is holy, -PLEASE get new writers, actors, costumes and locations!!!!

A Christmas carousel highlights the importance of restoration of a valuable part of our history: carousels. Carousels are a real and true dying art. The back drop is a more typical hallmark love story...regular girl falls in love with a prince, he has obligations....yada yada yada, misunderstanding-misunderstanding, wish on a carousel wishing horse, the singing of The Coventry Carol....and wham! True Love/Happily Ever After!

One tiny complaint...male lead is handsome with a great voice, but some of his acting, particularly with his niece is a little over the top and hard to believe for a prince...even one with art training, unless he was trained at Barnum and Bailey.
