A Prince for Christmas (2015)

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Dreadfully Boring

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

If you're a man it probably isn't your type of film. But, if you're a female you will love it.

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.

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.

As I have indicated in other IMDb reviews, it doesn't really matter what "country of origin" the production company chooses to stamp on its press releases, the Canuck film industry has over the years pretty much cornered the market on these specific type of X-mas treats, and you could not find a more typical variation if you tried.The settings are Canadian, as is the crew, and the extras are so Canadian it hurts. (Although -- a mercy -- somewhere in this millennium Canada learned that the first priority for its films was teaching its actors to lose the accent.) The story however is rock solid, the direction is more than competent, and the two leads, Viva Bianca and Kirk Barker are actually quite amazing. They work with the script very aggressively and sell it. Bianca in particular gives no indication she played the #1 heartless bi-yach in Spartacus and comes across as sweet, competent, someone you really would want to know.Recommended.
