Das Weihnachtskarussell

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.

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!!!!

I can't get past the horrible toupee the dad is wearing. Distracts from the movie.

I could tell it wasn't going to get better, but we watched it from beginning to end. It didn't get better.

No chemistry, no story, acting was terrible, and usually in a movie like this, the location saves the movie...not this one.

I hate reviewing movies negatively.

This was poorly done. The acting was actually good but Bledsoe's fake accent was AWFUL, good thing it wasn't in 95% of the scenes......Oh wait. The sets were cheap and it showed, and the some of the wardrobe is ridiculous, and I'm not just talking about Bledsoe wearing children's size clothing. The dialogue was confused as if it was written by 2 different people, one of them terrible at it. When these little annoyances are nearly every single scene, it just becomes too much
