Load of rubbish!!

Great Film overall

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The "royals" accents in this film are among the least believable you'll ever hear. The leads do their best to be likeable but it's not enough. The music cues are over the top, even for Hallmark.

I really do take rom coms like Hallmark at face value. Some plots are more creative than others. While many are cookie cutter predictable, the actors have great chemistry and are believable in what they're doing. I think the mistaken identity thing is a great storyline over all in any genre. Sadly, I am having to stop watching this movie part way through because the English accents from these royals- or accents from whatever small fake country he's supposed to be from, are so incredibly deplorable my ears want to bleed. I like Jesse Schraam, I've seen him in other stuff. He most definitely should not have been cast with this accent. And like I said I take these movies at face value, but I've also seen brad pitt destroy a perfectly good movie because of a horrific accent. too bad really, honestly had potential for a funny rom com story. I have to draw line somewhere. the other minor fake thing is a film set in New York and why they filmed in Vancouver I do not know. How many Hallmarks have I seen set AND filmed in NYC? Sorry Im from Vancouver and I love seeing local landmarks, but you cant run a camera around downtown Vancouver showing Howe and Dunsmuir and other places, then have everyone talking about how they are in NYC. filming loc. says only Van so I can assume rest of movie will also not show any NYC landmarks to make it believable.

I'm a big fan of the Hallmark movies and enjoyed this one as well, but I agree with some other reviewers here that the accents in this needed work (Sam Page and Hayley Sales). It is of course a challenge when actors/actresses are required to use an accent not native to them, but if that's going to be done, it should be done well. That said, Sam Page and Jessy Schram were very attractive and appealing together, the story and acting were generally engaging, and there were some charming and humorous moments. Overall, A Royal New Year's Eve was enjoyable.

I was loving this thanks to Jessy Schram and Sam Page. It was not unexpected that Abigail would try to interfere, but she was so blatant, obscenely blatant, that absolutely every one around Caitlyn could see it. The prince was oblivious. He should have recognized what was going on and stopped it. And Caitlyn is a total wimp. She just took it all. Given how important the opportunity was, she could easily have quit the magazine. But then we wouldn't have had a story. A woman with this little backbone would be crushed being in a royal family. Jessy Schram often plays the totally energetic and optimistic woman. It seems she overplayed the obedient servant a little too much.The story was full of humor and funny coincidences. Many of the lines early in the movie appear to be prophetic without the speaker realizing it.Cheryl Ladd is perfect as the woman you want to throw in one of Prince Jeffrey's dungeons. Possibly too perfect.These movies are known for sappiness. This movie has it in spades. I think it is too much. I believe the ending could have been more subtle and therefore more moving.Despite my complaints, I enjoyed this movie thanks mostly to Jessy Schram.
