Royal New Year's Eve

I loved the princess/ prince theme. And "The Pink Dress!" And the locations were stunning beautiful, but some things were just plain horrible. For one the accents were too phoney. Then Cheryl Ladds face! Bad face lifts what happened with that? Poor woman. And as much as I loved the main actress she was just way too skinny. She needs to eat before she wastes away. It pained me to see her boney shoulders.

Sam Page plays a 30-something prince whose unbelievable accent is derived from a 75-year-old Sir John Gielgud (see Arthur, 1984). No chemistry between him and Jessy Schram, who has no breadth. As Kaitlyn, she is happy and peppy in all situations. It's Cinderella, sort of. The "royalty" thing is wearing thin. Cheryl Ladd (yes, Charlie's fourth angel) was simply mean as Rebecca, the fashion boss lady. Move on to another Hallmark movie.

I really enjoyed this movie. The usual girl meets prince and they fall in love movie. No sex, no violence, no inappropriate scenes. Just a wholesome family movie.

I'm a big fan of the Hallmark movies and enjoyed this one as well, but I agree with some other reviewers here that the accents in this needed work (Sam Page and Hayley Sales). It is of course a challenge when actors/actresses are required to use an accent not native to them, but if that's going to be done, it should be done well. That said, Sam Page and Jessy Schram were very attractive and appealing together, the story and acting were generally engaging, and there were some charming and humorous moments. Overall, A Royal New Year's Eve was enjoyable.

Overall a fair to good movie. Jesse Schram turned in a flawless performance,as did Crystal Balint. Haley Sales was out of (her) character playing a snob, and using a fake accent. Now we come to Sam Page. He has always been one of my favorite leading men, but this time he missed the mark. He used a very fake accent. Prince Jeffry was educated abroad so why could he not have been educated in America for an American or Canadian accent? If you are looking for a movie with great acting and bad writing this is the one for you.
