Royal New Year's Eve

I was loving this thanks to Jessy Schram and Sam Page. It was not unexpected that Abigail would try to interfere, but she was so blatant, obscenely blatant, that absolutely every one around Caitlyn could see it. The prince was oblivious. He should have recognized what was going on and stopped it. And Caitlyn is a total wimp. She just took it all. Given how important the opportunity was, she could easily have quit the magazine. But then we wouldn't have had a story. A woman with this little backbone would be crushed being in a royal family. Jessy Schram often plays the totally energetic and optimistic woman. It seems she overplayed the obedient servant a little too much.

The story was full of humor and funny coincidences. Many of the lines early in the movie appear to be prophetic without the speaker realizing it.

Cheryl Ladd is perfect as the woman you want to throw in one of Prince Jeffrey's dungeons. Possibly too perfect.

These movies are known for sappiness. This movie has it in spades. I think it is too much. I believe the ending could have been more subtle and therefore more moving.

Despite my complaints, I enjoyed this movie thanks mostly to Jessy Schram.

I thought this was one of the better prince and the pauper hallmark films particularly the banter between Jessy and the prince before she knew who he was, I don't understand the criticism of the accents he actually said he wasn't British so why on earth would he have a British accent,I bet all the people of this small European country are furious when Americans assume they are British,Cheryl Ladds face certainly distracted me more than the accents

Sam Page's accent was horrible! It ruined the movie for me! Overall, I enjoyed the story but is could have been so much better! Normally I love Sam Page but this is one movie that he was horrible in.

I really do take rom coms like Hallmark at face value. Some plots are more creative than others. While many are cookie cutter predictable, the actors have great chemistry and are believable in what they're doing. I think the mistaken identity thing is a great storyline over all in any genre. Sadly, I am having to stop watching this movie part way through because the English accents from these royals- or accents from whatever small fake country he's supposed to be from, are so incredibly deplorable my ears want to bleed. I like Jesse Schraam, I've seen him in other stuff. He most definitely should not have been cast with this accent. And like I said I take these movies at face value, but I've also seen brad pitt destroy a perfectly good movie because of a horrific accent. too bad really, honestly had potential for a funny rom com story. I have to draw line somewhere. the other minor fake thing is a film set in New York and why they filmed in Vancouver I do not know. How many Hallmarks have I seen set AND filmed in NYC? Sorry Im from Vancouver and I love seeing local landmarks, but you cant run a camera around downtown Vancouver showing Howe and Dunsmuir and other places, then have everyone talking about how they are in NYC. filming loc. says only Van so I can assume rest of movie will also not show any NYC landmarks to make it believable.

Nice story and chemistry with the leads, but the accents needed some work.

Cheryl Ladd's character was an absolute witch.

Enjoyable overall - worth a view!
