Reviews
Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
gehewe This movie is from 2011 and had a special "fairy-tale" quality like I remember from "The Princess Bride". Jules as the main character really made this movie. She had an unusual beauty. What a surprise to see an 84 year old Roger Moore (the movie would have been a 10 if they got him to dance with Jules). I didn't realize he was in the movie and kept thinking "is that him". They did add a 007 reference which was appropriate. The earlier dance scene was really fun starting with a waltz and ending with an electric guitar. A great moment when the young prince and his nephew were shooting arrows. Roger Moore's character was not that good. His scenes tended to be dull but it was him and his presence added to the magic of the story. It is worth the watch.
Irishchatter This movie was very enjoyable to watch because we get to see the beautiful Katie McGrath and of course, the great James Bond legend Sir Roger Moore! I honestly didn't realise that Katie was playing a American character because she pretty much sounded like herself. Maybe if she was an English or Irish character on this, then it would make more sense for her to use either. I say, she probably did try to do the American accent but probably failed. Anyways I liked the fact, it was Christmassy and very straightforward. You just have to love the little girl on this, she is such a darling and a great little actress! You honestly just wanna give her a wee cuddle, she's so cute!You wouldn't think Roger Moore would be a grumpy old man, I think it was a mistake for his character to act like a snob, he normally suits acting as a cheery, funny and pleasant gentleman. I suppose they didn't want him to be James Bond even if he will be remembered as James Bond. It was surprising to see him on something like this anyway. He's good always so I won't ever complain!I really liked the movie, it was fun and so cute! I definitely would recommend this to anyone to give it a go at watching it!
faresjcfahd Despite a few down points, "a Princess for Christmas" is by far one of the best kids' seasonal movies as it provides a modern twist to the traditional fairy tale. Hereby are the positive and negative points of this movie:Pros:1. The cast and acting are exactly what is required for a kids' movie.2. The plot is not the all-dressed-up princess story we are used to, though it stays true to the main elements of a fairy tale.3. The emotional moments and scenes in the movie which are indeed moving.Cons:1. Despite her amazing acting, Katie McGrath fails in changing her accent to imitate the American accent. She would have been flawless in this movie if it weren't for this point.2. The ending is somewhat expected from rather early stages of the plot.All in all, this movie is just right to watch with your kids as it provides an interesting plot, enough emotion, and fit performances by the actors.8/10
Jules Pav I loved this movie. It's a lovely story/film. One of my favourite Christmas movies this year, I can't count how many times I've watched it, and I still can't find fault. I'm not bored with it either, which is unusual for me with movies these days. Take it for what it is, a traditional Christmas fairytale and don't look for/expect anything else, and you'll get everything you want from it. Personally I think too many critics don't know what 'artistic license' is and feel the need to spoil everyone else's enjoyment of a movie making a deal of it.Get over it, and keep it to yourself!
