Avis à la une
A princess eludes her handlers to have some time for herself and meets a man who helps her in more ways than she originally imagines.
Worth a view!
As long as you understand what you're going to see going into one of these made-for-TV movies, and overlook some of the obvious discrepancies, Once Upon a Holiday is a nice Christmas movie, featuring Briana Evigan as Katie a princess who finds herself on royal duty in New York City in the lead-up to December twenty-five, and Paul Campbell (who is always excellent) as Jack, your NYC Average Joe, who - rather precipitously - runs into Katie on a couple of occasions and shows her around the city, at first now knowing who she really is...and you probably have a pretty good idea of how the movie will end.
Absolutely a movie with plot holes and inconsistences, but it is saved by the performances of Campbell and Evigan, who have a warm and easy chemistry. Once Upon a Holiday is an above average Hallmark royal film.
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesGreg Evigan (George) is the father of Briana Evigan (Katie) in real life.
- GaffesThe movie starts with a stock NYC December footage. Then you see Theresa and young Katie inside Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel. They soon go out, and you can see a lot of beautiful green bushes, plants and deciduous trees with a bit of faux snow on the sidewalk. The movie jumps 20 years, and again the same scene at Sheraton Hotel and yet again outside of hotel just 5 days before Christmas, again a lot of green bushes, plants and deciduous trees. Furthermore, movie used a lot of December NYC stock footage, and almost every time after it there was a scene in city or in the front of Jack and Emma's house with a lot of green bushes, plants and deciduous trees. Of course, green trees in the mid of December in NYC is impossible, so movie was probably shot in September. And there is more - the final scene takes place in Romania on Christmas Day, and yet again in the town center there were a lot of green bushes, plants and deciduous trees just sprayed with faux snow.

Katie: No, no, no. I wouldn't want to intrude.
Jack Langdon: Oh, no. It's potluck. There's always way too much food, and it's warm.
Katie: Oh, really?
Jack Langdon: Yeah, but I mean, if you have somewhere to be...
Katie: Well, I could come in for a minute.
Jack Langdon: Oh, really?
Katie: Yeah.
Jack Langdon: Oh, OK.
