Jack Vasen This is a fairly predictable prince and commoner movie. The protagonists are a handsome couple that are basically developing quite a romance..The bad point is this. This movie comes very close to crossing a line and comes close enough to deserve being called on it. "Todd's not a bad guy, he's just hurt." Alice says this after Todd's overly aggressive behavior which results in a fight. Todd is guilty because he thinks he owns Alice. And he degrades her. He tells her she doesn't deserve anything better. I'm not sure that Todd would back off if made a firm statement of no. (Actually, he kind of doesn't.) She actually does say no several times, but then appears to waffle. Any man with any decency at all, any, would back off and stay away. But in addition to that Alice doesn't put her foot down. Every time Todd asks her to make a final choice, Alice doesn't. And Romance movies need to stop condoning this behavior. I've seen various degrees of this behavior in several romance TV movies. This movie is actually on the mild side. In some of them, the man is even more wrong, often grabbing the woman and kissing her without permission even as she struggles to break the kiss. This is unacceptable behavior and movies such as this need to make that clear. I have yet to see a romance movie that does.***SPOILERS*** I also didn't like the inevitable confrontation over the "lie". She says "what kind of fool do I look like", but the truth is that by jumping to conclusions and not trying to work it out, she is a fool and looks like a fool. Further, Duncan is just not that kind of person. Everything she accuses him of is just not true and he's not that stupid to think it is. But that's how these movies have to progress.I didn't rate this movie because I don't want my prejudice to affect the ratings.

Mila_Marie_00 This story line was sooo predictable and so poorly written I could barely watch. I love movies about prince's and princesses but wow - this was almost unwatchable. There was not one surprising plot twist or interesting character in the thing. Not even the (spoiler alert - kinda) crippled sister could spice it up enough. What a bore. I gave it 5 just cuz the prince is handsome and the palace is pretty to look at but that's about it. How disappointing. I expect this poorly acted, predictable, cheesy crap from Hallmark or Lifetime but to be honest I had a higher expectation of a Netflix Original.

lisafordeay A Prince For Christmas is a made for TV film starring Viva Bianca and Kirk Barker and tells the tale of a young handsome prince of Beaumount (Barker)who is forced to marry someone he doesn't love. Sick of not choosing who he wants to marry he travels to America where his car ends up dead out of a small town in the states. He bumps into a young woman named Emma(Bianca)and he calls himself David instead of Prince Duncan. So as "David" is waiting for a train ride he of course ends up spending some time with Emma and eventually the two fall in love. Of course their romance gets ruined by Emma's ex boyfriend Todd who is up to no good. So will Emma discover that "David" isn't who he says he is?Overall this was a decent Christmas movie. Is it the best film ever no but its still not that bad. As I was watching this film it reminds me so much of The Prince and Me. Both films have a prince from another country who are sick and tired of being treated royalty. They travel to America where they fall for American girls who want more in life,the prince and the commoner fall in love,they find out about the guy's identity. The list goes on.See it if you loved The Prince & Me and Coming To America.

barbk-46000 This was one of the better movies of this type that I've seen..and not because it was filmed in my hometown. The local scenery was, of course, much appreciated. But the acting and storyline were simply very good. The relationships were very believable, from the King and Queen to the sisters. (Altho Kelly Lebroc was stiff...). I suppose it's foolish to believe that 2 people from very different backgrounds could fall in love in a matter of days, but the actors playing Emma and Duncan did a wonderful job , and made me want to cheer at the end when they finally kissed! It's refreshing to watch a movie about a young couple falling in love who don't fall into bed at their earliest opportunity. It makes the audience believe that these two actually LIKE each other, respect each other, and by movie's end, truly love one another. As for the complaint in a prior review that the movie was basically too white...well, I can report that, based on the number of cast members, one African- American was about right if you know the racial makeup of this small rural town. ( I recently watched The Wiz Live, and...it was awfully dark. ) Come on..we need to get past that kind of criticism. I'd certainly enjoy seeing Viva and Kirk in future films. They made an adorable couple.
