À Noël mon prince viendra 3

Thankfully I recorded this so I was able to fast forward through the slow parts, of which there were many. Totally predictable. Scenery and decorations were beautiful. Usually save to watch again, that won't be happening, will delete as soon as it's over. Absolute waste of time.

This is one of the more ridiculous holiday stories that I have seen with some pretty campy acting.

The royal couple come to America as royal ambassadors. The Princess insists on going even though she is seven months pregnant. She ends up having medical issues and needs to be on bed rest...but then they find out the heir to the thrown has to be born on native soil. How will they solve their problem?

Love Christmas with all my heart. Love the fun and nostalgia it brings, and cherish all the time spent with family and friends every year. Decided in 2019 to see some newly released (at that time) Christmas films to broaden my Christmas film horizons (namely those from Hallmark and Lifetime), this turned into a quest that is still ongoing. Feelings have been extremely mixed doing this and even when trying to take them for what they're meant to be some have been lacking (though there have been some surprisingly good ones too).

Didn't care very much for the first two 'Christmas with a Prince' films, a few good things in each but a lot of bad for pretty much the same reasons. Still saw the second sequel 'The Royal Baby' anyway for curiosity, to see whether it was better, same level or worse. 'The Royal Baby' fares worse than both, it has the same few redeeming qualities minus one redeeming merit that 'Becoming Royal' had. But also the same numerous flaws that outweigh the pros, with the worst being executed territory.

'Christmas with a Prince: The Royal Baby' has a few good things. The scenery is lovely to look at. The music captures the festive spirit with great affection, although some of the placement was questionable.

A few parts are cute.

However, there are a lot of bad things. Both leads are poor, with Kaitlyn Leeb being too over eager and Nick Hounslow looks uncomfortable and is very bland. The chemistry between the two is completely charmless and not even there. The supporting cast really overdo it with the mugging embarrassingly and their characters are like exaggerated caricatures (and annoying ones like that) rather than real people. Even Josh Dean, who was a redeeming quality in 'Becoming Royal' isn't good here, from trying too hard.

While liking the scenery and decor, the very slapdash photography gives the film an incredibly cheap look. The direction is some of the most disorganised and leaden for any film seen recently and of all the recently seen Christmas films, clearly having no idea what to do with the story and the direction of the actors. The story is thin as a wafer and also lacking in charm and full of ridiculousness and excessive predictability. It was actually pretty insulting how truly stupid and incompetent Dr Tasha is made to behave.

Likewise, the script still has no tension or emotional connection and is ruined by an overload of the cheesiest of cheese and equally excessive difficult to stomach sentimentality. The story jumps around and is so dreary and predictable not to mention jawdrop inducing daft.

Concluding, very weak. 3/10.

Nick Hounslow is unbelievable as a prince & more so as a husband. There's no chemistry. Could he be queer in real time because he shows as much in his mannerisms from his speech & stance. Although he's tall he doesn't exude masculinity. It seems his lines are even limited along with his stiltedness. I found him to be distracting to what could have been a movie with a strong romance in the plot. Kaitlyn Leeb on the other hand plays the role perfectly & carries the movie. She displays an honesty of what it would be like to marry into a royal atmosphere. Couldn't you have found a better leading man for her?

I just have loved these movies from the first one! They make me laugh, and cry, and are just charming! Who doesn't love a prince and princess fairy tale story! The couple look so believable together! Hopefully there will be another one, maybe after the baby is born! I never understand in reading other reviews, why people say bad things about movies! We already know that movies are only for entertainment, and that, sure, they can be predictable to the end, and yes, sometimes, the characters do or act in really not real life ways, so what, don't bad bash it! As long as Christmas movies are delivering family time, love, and happy endings, that's what it is all about, and why we watch them! I was taught that, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all! Quit watching them, go find a sex filled, cuzzing, killing, violent, "Hollywood" movie, and leave the Christmas movies to us, Thank you!!!
