Movie #2038 ........................." A Royal Queen's Christmas" (Hallmark)

 Movie #2038 "A Royal Queens Christmas" (Hallmark)

This is kind of a funny, far-fetched one, but it won my heart --- not sure why.  It takes place in Queens, so  everyone talks with thick overdone Queens accents, but then this Prince (from nearby?) who looks like a Hugh Jackman/Jake Gyllenhal lookalike, sporting his own accent comes to Queens to get away from a kingdom he is suppose to take over (but he is unhappy about it) so of course he runs away to Queens to he to play boogie boogie on  the piano --- I know, sounds silly, but it works for him because he is so dreamy looking that you believe almost anything. Like this:    after knocking her over in a restaurant and causing bakery damage (you have to see it to understand),  he volunteers to play for her (girl from queens) kids' choir.  This is a totally unbelievable and overdone premise, but the two leads won  me over.  I'd give it a 4.  Silly, but fun!
