Movie #1127 ........................A Princess for Christmas

Movie #1127 "A Princess for Christmas"  -- I was watching this the other night, and couldn't believe how badly acted it was, but I got caught up with the formulaic story when they visited the big castle and she was falling in love with a prince (who was pretty stiff acting wise, too, but at least he was supposed to be, I think).  But then, alas, I fell asleep in the last 15 minutes, so I used sling box to tape it so I could watch the ending, and I'm glad I did, because what would have been a solid 2 scoring movie became a slight 3 due to the successful ending.  And yes, endings can move scores for me!  Anyway, the  lead girl in this one looks like Keira Knightly, but that ends the comparison --- She has a winning smile, but I thought she was a weak actor.  The oldest boy was awful --- and Roger Moore was, too --- so that's half the cast, really.  I wouldn't recommend this movie to you unless one of your dreams is to spend christmas in a beautifully decorated castle --- but if you think realistically how cold it must be in there, that might burst that bubble for you!

A Princess for Christmas

2011  Rated NR90 mins    I would give this 3 stars out of 5.

In this made-for-TV charmer, young Jules Daly -- at the invitation of an estranged relative -- travels with her orphaned niece and nephew to a castle in Europe for Christmas, where Jules unwittingly falls for a dashing prince.
