Avis à la une
Amazing direction! Fantastic performances! Just the romantic respite needed in days of so much negativity. The cinematography is stunning and overall it's just lovely. I saw some negative posts about the film and simply don't understand all the seriousness. This is Hallmark people. We go watch these for romantic escape, love, and a happy ending. Sarah's character is not obsessed royalty or tabloids. I get it. Neither am I! I would have made, largely, many of her faux pas'. In addition, it's a rom-com people! And it perfectly echos what happened in reality regarding a "change in tradition" - thank god! I loved it! Kudos to all involved!
This was a mediocre "royal" romance for me, which is too bad because it had a lot going for it. I enjoyed the cast with one exception the royal sister Fiona, I thought she was over played. My other big complaint was how the prince was written, it wasn't the actor as I have seen him in other things...including Reign, it was more the script which didn't give him many lines and had him appearing to be supportive but only in the privacy of just the two of them...silent when it really mattered. "Danny"/Daniël really needed a fire light under him. Do you love this girl or not?!?!?!
That annoyed me so much I couldn't enjoy the film.
New Jersey school teacher has a relationship with Danny the writer, only to discover when he proposes that he is a prince and heir to the thrown...but wait if he marries a commoner he can't be king unless his parents change the rules.

Not up to your standard. Made lead actress appear foolish. In this day and age women should not be portrayed this way.
I like the main characters, for the most part. But the female lead (the pretty teacher) has got to be the stupidest "smart" person on the planet. Common sense says you don't admit to picking royal flowers while you're sitting at the dinner table with King, Queen, and other royal guests. Or talk about the gardener, or the cook. Anyone with half a brain should know that. So yeah, the writers make her out to be an idiot; in fact, she seems to have a knack for saying the exact wrong thing. I guess it's supposed to come off as her being "down-to-earth" or charming, or something, but .... sorry, it doesn't work out that way. Quite the opposite: it's an epic fail.
Jersey girl Sara DeMarco is a sweet, outgoing grade school teacher. She's been going out with Daniel for a year although she doesn't know anything about his family. He brings good news of his book getting published and then he proposes to her. The biggest surprise is that he's actually a prince and the heir to the throne of the small country of St Ives. His parents are not happy to have the commoner. Not only is she too casual with the help. Daniel would have to abandon his claim to the throne to marry her. When reminded of this, the sister Princess Fiona becomes much more supportive since she is next in the line of succession.
Sure this is Hallmark but I can't excuse weak work just for that. This is weak. On the positive side, Fiona Gubelmann is bubbly cute although bordering on annoying. She fits the role well and for the first half, this works well enough following the formula. It's a fun, often repeated Prince Charming fantasy. They don't have the cash to stage the needed extravagance. It's a poorer version of Downton Abbey. The problem starts with the manufactured stakes. There is no rooting interest for him to be King. He doesn't want it and she doesn't really want it for him. Other than tradition, there is nothing holding them to the throne. It should be his decision and it's actually annoying to have her decide for him. It's played as a great sacrifice but in reality, it's nothingness. It's telling that there is no villain in the movie because there are no stakes. The throne has to be something better to be an actual stake.

- GaffesFor her duplicity in getting Sarah to call off her engagement to Danny, Princess Fiona could have been charged with interfering with the proper succession of a monarch and could, therefore, have been committing treason.
