Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM HONESTJules Daly (Katie McGrath) becomes the legal guardian of her 7-year- old niece Maddie (Leilah de Meza) and teenage nephew Milo (Travis Turner). After Jules gets laid off at work, the butler of Duke Edward, the children's wealthy grandfather, appears with an invitation for Milo and Maddie to spend the Christmas holidays with his employer. Jules initially refuses, but decides to go for the children's sake.The story "borrows" from many other movies where an "American Finds themselves related to royalty". The story also has a dash of "Little Lord Fauntleroy". The cast is very good but the plot line is nothing new or a creative take of an often told tale. The film is well made. It holds your attention but, you will forget the whole film after a good nights sleep!

gehewe This movie is from 2011 and had a special "fairy-tale" quality like I remember from "The Princess Bride". Jules as the main character really made this movie. She had an unusual beauty. What a surprise to see an 84 year old Roger Moore (the movie would have been a 10 if they got him to dance with Jules). I didn't realize he was in the movie and kept thinking "is that him". They did add a 007 reference which was appropriate. The earlier dance scene was really fun starting with a waltz and ending with an electric guitar. A great moment when the young prince and his nephew were shooting arrows. Roger Moore's character was not that good. His scenes tended to be dull but it was him and his presence added to the magic of the story. It is worth the watch.

adoptshelterpetstoday I liked this movie the first time I saw it...and increasingly when I saw the repeats. It just has a nice, enchanting story that flowed. It stayed focused on a Christmas theme and atmosphere...with Christmas settings...while melding nicely with the primary plot......."Edward" and "Ashton" were elegant and charming, respectively...a delightful change of persona from "over-bearing, macho" actors......I liked "Jules" part with her humbleness, sincerity and sense of responsibility...while having a fun side. But I think a slightly more beautiful actress should have played the part. Her teeth were really detracting as they dominated her face when she spoke or smiled...and why did her hair look oily?? But she was still likable, and played the part very well.....Of course the wardrobe person had very, very poor taste with that gown....The supporting caste was good...The only one that was annoying occasionally was "Miles" with his over-played rotten teenage attitude.....The script and the directing was good also. The entire movie was put together and presented very well...very, very enjoyable...time and time again.

faresjcfahd Despite a few down points, "a Princess for Christmas" is by far one of the best kids' seasonal movies as it provides a modern twist to the traditional fairy tale. Hereby are the positive and negative points of this movie:Pros:1. The cast and acting are exactly what is required for a kids' movie.2. The plot is not the all-dressed-up princess story we are used to, though it stays true to the main elements of a fairy tale.3. The emotional moments and scenes in the movie which are indeed moving.Cons:1. Despite her amazing acting, Katie McGrath fails in changing her accent to imitate the American accent. She would have been flawless in this movie if it weren't for this point.2. The ending is somewhat expected from rather early stages of the plot.All in all, this movie is just right to watch with your kids as it provides an interesting plot, enough emotion, and fit performances by the actors.8/10
