Jingle Bell Princess

It was such a good movie with true values of kindness hospitality, friendship and love. I like the tradition with a ribbon. It is such a good idea to follow it during the Christmas time. GAC movies are so warm and cosy, with a beautiful Christmas atmosphere!

I as well couldn't get past the far fetched way that the princess just hopped off her plane because she heard a bell ringing, ends up at the Christmas market, then just presents herself at the airport "looking for her plane". The accent was distracting as well. Only kept watching because Trevor Donovan is one of my favorite former hallmark actors.

I like Merritt Patterson and Trevor Donovan both have done many movies that I like. Now, the main problem I have with this movie is the God awful fake accent on Ms. Patterson. I guess if I hadn't seen her in so many other films I wouldn't really notice. Other then the accent I found the movie only 2 stars. It's odd to me that there want any awkwardness with the princess wearing his deceased wife's clothes. For me, I'd been a little weirded out. This movie could have been much better. I hope in the future they'll amp it up more!

I too am surprised at the good reviews of this movie. This Princess in a strange land plot did not have a happy ending! The trust has been broken! Everyone knows that there is an unwritten contract between Christmas Movie makers and viewers that Christmas Movies have to have a happy ending. This would never happen on Hallmark, Ion, Up, Bet, or Hallmark Movies and Mysteries! To spell it out, The princess came back, not to renounce her crown or find another way to Marry the commoner and be a mother to his little girl, but to invite him to a party in her country. That. Is. It. They will not have a future together! Unless there is a sequel.

We get it, and have seen a few of these fairy tales. However, this was a very enjoyable version of a common RomCom theme. The Princess was great in keeping her secret, and the single parent family that took her in, along with the entire town, gave viewers many warm and fuzzy moments. Sit back with some popcorn and a glass of wine and enjoy!

Let's concede that the plot is simple and the story totally farfetched. Also, let's accept that Royalties, from whichever, faraway land in the world, must speak with a British accent. Then, let's not wonder that intimidating, powerful people could hide a heart of a lamb. Why not? This is how fairy tales go. The magic rests, precisely, in their innocence and simplicity. Merritt Patterson is just perfect for the role of a beautiful, gentle princess. Trevor Donovan is right into character as man with rough edges and a heart of gold. The entire little Maine town and its people create a comfy, warm background. So, it,s Christmas time! It's allowed to be young-at heart and enjoy the tale. The show will not surprise you, nor shock your senses. Yet, it may leave you feeling good inside. Thank you, GAC, for keeping it simple and kind!

I agree completely with gfrasmd . It is a fairy tale after all so suspend a demand for reality. I kind of wish that Merritt Patterson didn't have to speak with a British accent because it interfered with the image of the woman I've come to know in earlier Christmas movies, but I eventually got used to it. Patterson and Trevor Donovan had good chemistry. And with Sophie as well. I enjoyed the relationships even though the story was very average with no real highs or lows, tension or surprises. It was a very wholesome, upbeat, family safe story. The King, Amelia's father, didn't turn out to be as overbearing as Amelia's complaints made him sound. The ending would be disappointing, but I really do think there has to be a sequel, probably next Christmas.

Sweet story that addresses the emotional hardship of the death of a parent and a wife two years prior amid Christmas season and the missed flight mishaps that happen during winter. Actors and actresses' are top notch, capturing the viewers engagement into the story. A refreshing break from the current culture with a focus on the TRUE MEANING of Christmas and generational traditions that have deep meaning.
