Sorry, this movie sucks

One of my all time favorites.

Best movie ever!

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

When I first saw this movie on Hallmark , I loved it , I have seen Danica McKellar in other movies. She is absolutely beautiful, and Rupert Ruyere-Jones is just so handsome. The Princess Theodora she was adorable, the most touching part was when the Princess was getting ready for the Christmas Eve Gala she looked so beautiful. When she was escorted by her father the King, and he had his first dance with his daughter was very touching. Will their ever be a part 2 to the "Crown for Christmas". Just loved the movie.

After I watched the movie I discovered the actress played Winnie in the Wonder Years 1988-1993 she is now about 40. She plays a 31 year old in this film which was fine. I enjoyed it and it was fairly well done but I probably would not watch it again because it got a bit too predictable at the end.The lead actress was great and yes there was a purposeful imitation to the Sound of Music. Her character was to be adored by all. When asked to give a toast "here's to those who have seen us at our best and at our worst but cannot tell the difference" Enjoyed seeing the King being taken with her "speaking her mind" manner. Loved the King's daughter. Much was very well done in the movie. The horse scene with the King was excellent.

A Crown for Christmas is by far the very best movie Hallmark has made in years! Before this, A Princess for Christmas held that spot. I love movies that have a wonderful love story, and then have royalty added in. Where A Princess for Christmas lacked (small details like bad costumes, and cheap tiaras) A Crown for Christmas makes up! The castle they filmed in was beautiful, the casting was excellent! (The Princes little girl was perfection!!) The main characters really had on-screen chemistry, the same way Crown for Christmas did! While predictable, the story was still very engaging and entertaining! I wish Hallmark would make more of The Royal themed Christmas movies. It's also nice when they cast the movies with unknowns. These (somewhat) unknowns, really have a lot of talent!! I can't say any one character in this movie (or the other) was annoying, sappy, or irritating to watch. The costumes were beautiful, and didn't look like bridal shop rejects. (And they hemmed the dresses on the main characters!)The locations didn't look like the usual Pacific west coast locations in so many of the other movies they do, too.This movie left me with the "warm and fuzzies." ~ I want to see their Royal Wedding now! I give this movie a ten!

This is one of the better Hallmark holiday season movies.The cast is quite good. Danica McKellar plays a hotel maid. It's good she isn't too glamorously beautiful so she can be believable. After being fired she is hired as a governess for some minor European royal family. She wins over the bratty princess she has to govern and the King's heart as well. The supporting cast is quite good especially the British cast. Rupert Penry Jones who as in a good TV movie "39 Steps" is quite convincing as minor royalty. Doesn't look too fake royalty like some other similar Hallmark movies. The actress who plays the countess he is matched to is quite pretty and good too at acting jealous.The Cinderella / Sound of Music combination story works quite well and the dance is quite romantic. The way things work out at the end romantically is quite logical without being too annoying.Less annoying than the usual Hallmark Christmas movie. One they can replay next year.
