Featured reviews
A romantic, modern day fairy tale that is perfect for all the family, but especially for young girls and their Mothers, Grandmothers and their Granddaughters, Aunts & nieces, etc.
Boys, be warned, this may all be a tad emotionally mushy for your taste, but who knows, you may learn some wonderful manners during the process of watching it. Every little girl (and we are all little girls at heart), dreams of being treated like a princess, whether they like to admit it or not.
The beautiful Katie McGrath plays the lead female role and I felt at times, she gave a rather wooden performance that actually enhanced her displays of awkwardness in an unfamiliar situation and so rather than distance the viewer, it actually made her character more endearing to them.
It was wonderful to see Sir Roger Moore acting again, in his typical, suave male role.
A wonderful Christmas Fairy Story.

A wonderful Christmas Fairy Story.
I watch this movie every Christmas and it never disappoints! It's fun and light-hearted. The Christmas decorations are beautiful and the castle is gorgeous! It has great leads and a nice story.
Overall, it's a great Christmas movie to watch for the holidays.
It was predictable but nevertheless a fairly good movie. The worse part of the movie was the actor playing Milo. He couldn't have been worse in his over acting and bad casting for the part. Much in the genre of 'A Crown for Christmas '.
Wonderful movie.
How about seeing Sir Roger Moore in one of his last roles and Outlander star Sam Heughan (perhaps the new Bond after Craig) in one movie.
I like all kinda movies, as long as they're well executed. And this one is just a fun movie to see.
Check it out when you get the chance.

Only thing that spoils it is the man playing Milo...he is far too old for the part. There are numerous young actors that could have played this part better.
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Jules is fixing Milo's tie for the ball, she comments "Oh 007, eat your heart out." Roger Moore (Duke Edward) played James Bond in seven movies.
- GoofsAlthough Jules (Irish), Maddie (English) and Milo (Canadian) are portraying Americans, there are several times you hear their native accents slip, typically when they're upset. Most notably when Maddie says "he can stay with us!".
- Quotes
Jules Daly: I thought butlers were extinct.
Paisley Winterbottom: Oh, no. We've made a comeback. P. Diddy has three.
