A Christmas Carousel

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

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.

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

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.

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.
