The Reluctant Royal

This is by far the best movie of the year for HallMark (HM) ANDREW walker again does it again. He did an incredible job and his partner have excellent screen chemistry. The supporting cast were wonderful and I wish there was more time to develope them. I wouldn't mind see this as a series. HM is getting back to thier roots with this movie.

I like the location and the scenes of the country side was a nice touch. The villains as usual were to predictable for my only cretinism. Andrew Walker have developed into a very actor and gives HM almost a guarantee of a good movie. All in all a def 10 and look forward to more movies with this one of scripts and acting.

I pretty much steer clear of Hallmark these days. Most of it is highly obnoxious. But for reasons unknown I gave this one a shot. And it wasn't bad. It wasn't great but it managed to be cute enough reminiscent of some of the cute but not so great old Hallmark fare.

Andrew Walker did well of a bit awkward at first playing a 38 year old man who kinda acted like a 22 year old kid. But he got better enough as it went along. The actress who played Prudence had to grow on me but when she did in liked her well enough.

The story was simplistic and predictable but that's not always a problem. The villains were cartoonish and unnecessary. A conflict not needed since the others could've been filled out.

I won't call it a must see but I wouldn't warn anyone off either. Take it or leave it. Hallmark has much worse to offer these days.

I am sure that I have seen every single one of the "ROYAL" Hallmark Movies. Hallmark is REALLY good at this genre. The Reluctant Royal is absolutely at the top of the list.

Although I probably could watch Andrew Walker read the Phone Book (kids, ask your Parents what that is) he has been a favourite of mine for years.

Andrew was terrific as the Reluctant Royal.

This was really more Romantic Comedy than your typical Hallmark Movie. They should put this one on Prime or another Streaming Service so that others get to see it and not just the usual Hallmark Bunch.

Andrew is hilarious and his comedic timing is great. At first I wasn't sure about the chemistry between "Prudence & Johnny" but it only took a few minutes to see that Emilie de Ravin would fit right in.

VERY Cute Movie!

With all the terrible news in the real world, it's time to just give yourself a bit of time to enjoy a happy, make believe story. This movie does that. First off, Andrew Walker is Andrew Walker. He almost always gives an extraordinary performance in these movies and he does it again here. The supporting cast...especially the elder Duke ...all give wonderful performances. The only minus with this movie is there is so much to cover, you wish the movie was longer. You wish you could spend more time with each of the characters and learn more about them. There just was too much to cover. But that aside...you root for them...you learn about them...you enjoy their company. So, sit back...let your imagination go...enjoy Andrew Walker...enjoy the story...enjoy the townspeople...enjoy the staff...enjoy the journey. You will find it time well spent.

I have to say this is one of the best Hallmark movies I've seen in a long time. I had to double check that it actually was a Hallmark movie. Loveable characters, some well placed humour- it's really enjoyable. Andrew Walker is excellent in this and yes, he really does his own singing. It's not a musical but there are a couple of short songs in it Love the story line.

In so many of these movies the supposedly romantic closed mouth kiss in the big finale is so unnatural I sometimes wonder if the actors can tolerate each. Not the case in this one. What a pleasant change to the phony end in many others.

Great show and the acting makes all the difference. Andrew Walker makes all the difference in the world to the quality of this movie.
