Alicia I love this movie so much

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

gehewe 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.

LuLuBelleKy 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!

Christmas-Reviewer Well this film is another Hallmark Movie that steel an idea from theatrical releases. This one happens to steel from "Maid in Manhattan" and "Sound of Music". In this film a young woman is a maid in hotel when she and her sister get fired from. Before you know she is "Spotted" by a Royal House Manager and she is finds herself a governess to a bratty Princess. The film is with Wonder Years Star Danica McKellar. Now I was not a fan of the "Wonder Years" but Danica McKellar is growing on me. I saw her in another Christmas Theme film last year called "Love at the Christmas Table" and that is a better film but this one is still worth watching. This is family safe. It has a Fairy Tale Vibe to it and the film makes you root for true love. On Hallmark Channel. Watch and enjoy!

machenewsgroup Whilst it is a stereotypical Christmas film it is an archetypal example of what a Christmas film should be. Anyone sitting down with their notepads out analyzing a film like this is just a Scrooge. It doesn't need to be over-thought, it is a Hallmark production which follows a strict guideline as to what a feel-good Hallmark production has to be (family).To criticize Danica McKellar in the lead-role seems an odd thing to do. You know what to expect from a family film. Any other actor would have had to act the part in exactly the same way. There isn't room in the role or in the movie as a whole to be experimenting with method-acting or "what's my motivation?" and getting deep and dark with the character - again - it's a Hallmark film. As well as an actor, Danica is a mathematician (or the other-way- around?) and would suggest her accepting this role was purely for fun and to have Christmas months in advance! She chooses roles that won't clash with her scholastic career too adversely and must balance these two very different careers. The interaction between herself and the young lead comes from a genuine place. Being so bound to a past role when a child is the bane of all actors - the character she is eternally manacled to is an anagram of "epic inner woo". Danica is epic as an example of how to avoid finding too much of your inner woo and going of the rails when vulnerable and young. She survived early-fame, looks even more attractive now and can wryly smile to herself that she has the credentials to play a part like this without any fear of any dented Porsches coming back to haunt her. For this reason alone, the film is just that much more charming and is what gives it the propulsion it would have lacked had just about anyone else played her part. It has a start, a middle and a fairytale ending...but we already knew that!
