Movie #1234 "A Crown for Christmas" --- here we go again. Part of getting in the xmas spirit for me is watching some christmas movies I have not seen, and what better (and easier) way to see them than on the Hallmark channel. So here's the first one ---- it happened to be on tonight , and I was typing a big project (packet for "Hamilton") and voila! I decided to watch it because I know the ending is going to be happy and romantic and after a very bad week, I needed to watch something fun. That being said, this was just okay. The guy they got to play the male love interest -- the king---was a stiff, and Danica McKellar (Winnie in "Wonder Years") is a little too breezy and cavalier, and the script is a bit too pat ---- and it depends on us believing that the little girl gets attached to the governess because they bake cookies and decorate trees (not too original!) But it's a beautiful castle and the costumes are beautiful, and like I said, he gets the girl (no surprise there!) and he learns to be a better king because of falling in love (another no surpriser!) I would rate this 3 stars out of 5.
