Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It sounds like something Hallmark's done before: a young royal away from home during Christmas meets normal person and falls in love---but this one actually felt...right. Paul Campbell's light humor brings us a mildly-magical holiday movie we really can't resist. Simple jokes reflect back upon a golden heart, revealing all he wants is make sure she's where she needs to be. After all, she's the only happy Holiday he knows ;) It's an easy story, no breakups, no unnecessary drama, no tears, as it all wraps up neatly in a perfectly cozy Christmas way. And with Briana Evigan gracefully doing her part as a princess with a passion for photography. It'd be shame, though, if she never got her camera back. With all those blurred photos of random NY buildings..
Quite enjoyable.A princess eludes her handlers to have some time for herself and meets a man who helps her in more ways than she originally imagines.Worth a view!
This movie has a feel good story of a runaway princess Katie Holiday (Briana Evigan) who just wants to have some time for herself to experience a Christmas as she remembered before her mother past. As she eludes her security team and ventures into the city she finds herself kind of down on her luck when good Samaritan Jack (Paul Campbell) offers her kindness and invites her to spend a few days with his family. While visiting with her new friends she keeps her true identity secret because she appreciates that they except her for her and not because she is famous. Jack wants to help Katie and throughout the movie their love grows in the process. This is a must watch and I will enjoy it for years to come. For fans of Santa you will be pleased because their are lots of them.Victor J
What a nice surprise! I sat down with my Cat and some Cabernet and let roll. Sure, there have been countless Christmas movies in 2015 and I didn't expect to like this as much but I did. Early on it pulled me in and there is no shortage of (spoiler) a Princess and Commoner hooking up. Yet this took a mature and believable route. Nothing overhanded. Nothing unbelievable (as TV goes). The big reveal was actually subtle and loving! In short I really did enjoy this film! In the middle I actually said to myself out loud- "This is a good movie"! Which doesn't happen very often and I take note when it does. That and I wrote a whole better review before Firefox dumped it before I could post it! D'Ohhh!
