Watch A Prince for Christmas For Free

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This is a fairly predictable prince and commoner movie. The protagonists are a handsome couple that are basically developing quite a romance..The bad point is this. This movie comes very close to crossing a line and comes close enough to deserve being called on it. "Todd's not a bad guy, he's just hurt." Alice says this after Todd's overly aggressive behavior which results in a fight. Todd is guilty because he thinks he owns Alice. And he degrades her. He tells her she doesn't deserve anything better. I'm not sure that Todd would back off if made a firm statement of no. (Actually, he kind of doesn't.) She actually does say no several times, but then appears to waffle. Any man with any decency at all, any, would back off and stay away. But in addition to that Alice doesn't put her foot down. Every time Todd asks her to make a final choice, Alice doesn't. And Romance movies need to stop condoning this behavior. I've seen various degrees of this behavior in several romance TV movies. This movie is actually on the mild side. In some of them, the man is even more wrong, often grabbing the woman and kissing her without permission even as she struggles to break the kiss. This is unacceptable behavior and movies such as this need to make that clear. I have yet to see a romance movie that does.***SPOILERS*** I also didn't like the inevitable confrontation over the "lie". She says "what kind of fool do I look like", but the truth is that by jumping to conclusions and not trying to work it out, she is a fool and looks like a fool. Further, Duncan is just not that kind of person. Everything she accuses him of is just not true and he's not that stupid to think it is. But that's how these movies have to progress.I didn't rate this movie because I don't want my prejudice to affect the ratings.

It was on the TV channel so I watched off and on. Well, I wonder why someone even bothered to make this type of films. I don't think it could be profitable for one reason. I would rather watch soap operas which might have more excitements instead. Sometimes, I even found some good lines in them.Here is something about entertainment industry. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. But only very few could ever get it. I used to watch those movies on Lifetime channel long time ago. I would only guess this one probably where it is from. Yes, you can dunk yourself into such a movie to avoid deeper issues in life then yours would just like well-fitted puzzles fall into places. Those actors in this kind of films most likely never have break-out in their career sadly. Nevertheless, there are quite few famous actors started their careers in soap opera. So one piece advise to those actors want to be, you should choose soap operas over this kind if there is ever any given chance.

It has one great line: "Two men in my life, and the honest one turns out to be the used car salesman."I spent the first half of the film trying to figure out why, if Duncan flew from Europe and was going to NYC, he happened to be driving through the middle of nowhere on the way to NYC. That was the big mystery in this otherwise it is a fairly predictable and pedestrian retelling of an oft-told tale.

It is very hard not to like this movie. Once in a while along comes such a sweet story of love. Here comes the story of a European prince (country unspecified) who meets an American girl living in a small upstate New York town. The prince has escaped an arranged marriage in his native land, comes to America, and meets this sweet charming lady. They fall in love. 'Nuff said. This is a very American movie, filmed in America with very American themes. The acting is excellent, the sentiment very touching. Most of this is filmed within a 15 mile radius in real places in Erie County, New York State. Mary Kate O'Connell, a Buffalo native, has an important role. Much of this is filmed in the town where I live, making it VERY attractive for me. There is nothing not to like in this film, no violence, no cursing, no wasted words. They meet, she dumps local guy, they fall in love, end of story! Happily ever after!
