A Winter Princess (2019) Reviews

• Good casting leads to good movies.

  Ms. Hall reminds me of Rachel McAdams. Me. McNally is a young Gary Cole. Both bring good acting to challenging roles. European royalty should not have English accents. The story is cute and nice to see a princess in the lead and not a prince. Also nice to see REAL SNOW. I think you'll see more of Ms. Hall. True Hallmark material. The African American actress was excellent. All in all worth watching and the ultimate compliment, goats hurry back from the kitchen as to not miss anything - or - putting the DVR on pause as to not miss a second. You'll like it if you're a Hallmark fan. Might I suggest a few more surprises in Hallmark movies. Perhaps HE is revealed as something HE i Portrays himself to be, but only in a good way. BTW her ball dress was hideous.

• A fun watch

  I think it is unfortunate there are less than 10 small royal countires in Europe. This is because Hallmark really needs a lot of them to keep making this kind of movie. Obviously, to a degree you have to watch this movie like a science fiction movie. If this was a real thing, this is how people would be. However, in this movie the acting was better, the plots more defined, and the unreal characters more real than most of its royalty based movies. Also, the less used device of the princess probably helped as well. All in all, an enjoyable experience and movie.

• Some things about this were really different

  The acting was believable for the royals. A viewer gets a sense that the 'royals' have had special training and have grown up in a different world, but NOT over the top different. The main actress does a very good job with her role, with 2 different faces. Many movies with a princess, the actress does not in any way shape or form give off anything that implies a lifetime of specialty training and decorum. Those kind of movies are real cop out. This movie does a good job comparing the two worlds, without vilifying either one. There is no proverbial evil antagonist (almost always Caucasian male sometimes female) for a change. I have heard from people in the movie industry that it is hard for script writers to develop an engaging movie w/o one. It was a real treat and relief to just have decent people who mean well even if their views were different as the primary movie characters. A very nice and engaging low budget movie

• Enjoyable

  I grow tired of the girl meets real prince stories. But there is something about the few stories where the woman is the princess and remains incognito. I enjoyed this move even though ... Even though Natalie Hall, who is new for me, had good moments and not so great ones acting. Even though the story was predictable. Even though it was a little too much on the sugary sappy side. Even though the three male royals were even less impressive than Hall acting. The King seemed especially bad. Still Hall and Chris McNally connected. The story was fun. Once again a Hallmark movie speaks the praises of friends or family pulling together for one another. The usual climax had a slightly different spin to it. Explaining it would be a spoiler, so I hope you recognize what I mean when you see it.

• Nice cast elevates this Royal themed Hallmark movie

  phd_travel2019-02-01

  Natalie Hall is pretty in a classy way so she's right for the role of a princess. Chris McNally plays her ski resort love interest. Princess incognito isn't the usual formula for Hallmark - it's usually the prince but it worked in Roman Holiday so there needs to be more. For music they use nice waltzes. Slightly better than the usual Royal Hallmark movies.
