Jingle Bell Princess - Eine Prinzessin zu Weihnachten

The acting minus the fact that Eastern Europe doesn't speak Western European English accent. She stayed on point as did the other characters. It was a fun light hearted well acted movie. I thought Merritt was really good as was Trevor.

I would watch again and that's the bar on a Christmas movie. I would give it about a 7.5 but either 8 or 7.

It's clear GAC at this point is getting Hallmark rejects. This story was beyond dumb - a Princess stranded in a small Maine town when her private plan takes off without her. If something like this really happened, everyone on the plane would have been fired the second the plane touched down without the Princess. Merritt Patterson tried her hardest, but Trevor Donovan seemed to check out halfway through. Hopefully they'll get better material to work with in the future.

It would appear that this was initially conceived to be Part 1 of The Jingle Bell Princess Franchise. It has merit. OOPs - Merritt Patterson, a charming lass, who has converted to being British, since she and some colleagues have jumped ship from Hallmark to GAC Family.

When will they use actors with real English/Irish/Scottish etc accents rather than force an actor to create this awful imitation of a posh English accent. It may be acceptable to US audiences but it is really off putting and a bit condescending. Not a bad wee film though.

Let's concede that the plot is simple and the story totally farfetched. Also, let's accept that Royalties, from whichever, faraway land in the world, must speak with a British accent. Then, let's not wonder that intimidating, powerful people could hide a heart of a lamb. Why not? This is how fairy tales go. The magic rests, precisely, in their innocence and simplicity. Merritt Patterson is just perfect for the role of a beautiful, gentle princess. Trevor Donovan is right into character as man with rough edges and a heart of gold. The entire little Maine town and its people create a comfy, warm background. So, it,s Christmas time! It's allowed to be young-at heart and enjoy the tale. The show will not surprise you, nor shock your senses. Yet, it may leave you feeling good inside. Thank you, GAC, for keeping it simple and kind!
