Fairy Tale

If you take this movie as purely a fairy tale with some humor thrown in, then the story itself is decent. In that vein, I thought that this "royal" movie was a bit further from any reality and closer to fantasy than most. Even the relationship between Emily and Prince Henry seemed unreal to me and that's where a movie like this should be a little more believable.

The final scene would have been much better without an overly long cheesy speech. There was one really excellent line by Edwina.

The sets seemed a little cheap and given the presumed location there should have been more good scenery.

Wanted to like it, but....

Danica and Bledsoe had more chemistry in an earlier movie....and a better script. Bledsoe is watchable in this one but Danica is hard to watch. Her scenes feel rushed or incomplete.

I expect she will do better in her next effort.

Cannot recommend this one.

Not bad but not particularly memorable

Wanted to see what the fuss was about with Danica's first GAC movie. It was okay. The script was a little bland, but there were a few funny moments. I like Neal Bledsoe as a royal. Overall this movie is worth a watch, but probably not worth watching twice.

Watchable slush

A typical fairy tale TV movie that does exactly what watchers of these movies want. I didn't know of Neal Bledsoe, but his accent was pretty good. There are a lot of principalities, duchy's and Crown states in Europe, perhaps trying something not sounding so British would be a novel idea.

False Eyelashes

Why can't the makeup department ever get Danica's eyelashes on correctly? It's distracting and certainly not flattering. Hallmark never got them right either.

Goofs
Towards the end of the movie when Emily is saying goodbye to Ms. Tilson and Fritz and the camera pans to Emily you can see a dog going across the screen and it looks like it is coming right up to Emily. Then of course there is no dog in the rest of the scene.
