Crown for Christmas (2015)

My wife and I watched this movie this past weekend as Hallmark's countdown to Christmas was counting down to ending for the year. It's always a little sad to see the Christmas movie marathon end after two months, but life goes on. Anyways, my wife and I were both surprised that Hallmark portrayed the only black guy in the entire fictional country that king was from as the bad guy. Usually, black people in Hallmark movies are cast as being supportive and sassy friends to the lead female role who is either discovering the true meaning of Christmas or helping a love interest discover the true meaning of Christmas. But not this guy. He was evil to the core. He was always looking around evilly. And this guy was constantly conniving with that awful lady who wanted to put the king's daughter in boarding school so that she could have the king to herself. She was truly a Christmas villain. You can tell that she's murdered multiple people in her past. My wife and I both wondered what happened to Danica McKeller's family that she left in "Brooklyn" to be the governess for the King of Hillshire Farms. We both drew the conclusion that Danica's brother and sister were tossed out for not paying rent, and that they were now dealing drugs and panhandling in order to pay for food and/or their burgeoning crack addictions. Well, Danica can probably help them get through rehab now that she is going to be a queen. Danica did a splendid job of making the king fall in love with her in one week. Also, did the king ride a horse to her hotel to pick her up at the end? Does he not need security detail? Is Hillshire Farms that safe? And what kind of currency do they use in that country?Fortunately, these unanswered questions did not take away any stars from my review of this movie. Crown for Christmas made me believe in Santa Clause again, and it reminded my wife that Christmas is about the birth of Christ. Ho ho ho and Joyeux Noel to all!

When I first saw this movie on Hallmark , I loved it , I have seen Danica McKellar in other movies. She is absolutely beautiful, and Rupert Ruyere-Jones is just so handsome. The Princess Theodora she was adorable, the most touching part was when the Princess was getting ready for the Christmas Eve Gala she looked so beautiful. When she was escorted by her father the King, and he had his first dance with his daughter was very touching. Will their ever be a part 2 to the "Crown for Christmas". Just loved the movie.

Some of the other reviews are talking about how similar it is to other movies but let me tell you. I cried my eyes out, so beware! It was an amazing movie! Definitely my new favorite so to say at the least I highly recommend this movie! It is a great movie to watch with family or even just your significant other. This is the first Christmas hallmark that I've watched that I have actually fell in love with and cried so much with. I believe the creators chose the perfect people for all the roles as well. I do hope there is a second movie to this that can explore not only the main characters lives but as for the help as well. I would love to explain that, but I don't want to spoil this movie for anyone (:

Great movie ruined A story of a struggling woman trying to provide for her family, she "accidentally" lands a dream job which will eventually lead to a dream marriage. This would've been the best movie among the 2015 Hallmark Christmas movies, the plot was good the director did an amazing job and the settings were beautiful, the acting was great too, i was thrilled to see Rupert Penry-Jones, everyone did a great job except Danica McKellar, she obviously overacted her role and that ruined the whole movie for me. Other than that it was a good movie and i liked it, it wasn't perfect but it wasn't bad either, the kind that you watch it once but never again.
