A Christmas Prince 1 (2017),2 (2018) and 3 (2019)

I love watching Christmas movies but the problem with Christmas films is how easy it is to predict what will happen. Now I love predicting things as much as the next girl, but being right all the time gets a bit dull over time. With that being said here is my review of ‘ A Christmas Prince’, ‘a Christmas Prince: the royal wedding’, and a ‘Christmas prince: royal baby’. On this fine Christmas day, you have all the time in the world when you want to escape from your family to put on Netflix and escape to a country that doesn’t exist.

A Christmas prince

I have been putting off watching this movie since it came out. Until now… I think Amber is a nice character and I also feel that she has had a lot of luck in her quest to find out the truth. Besides that thinking about it now. It might be so predictable because they use a lot of ideas from other films. Now films always follow some sort of concept. Nothing is original nowadays. But I did like this film. I was rooting for them while also knowing everything would be alright in the end. The ending would have been great I suppose but I saw it coming so that was a bit disappointing. I also didn’t understand why Amber felt she couldn’t truly reach Richard as it was apparent from their third contact that she liked him. Overall, I liked the film, it was an easy film that makes you smile. It’s easy to follow and gets you into the Christmas spirit without trying too hard.

The royal wedding

I think our good friend Amber broke protocol throughout the whole engagement which I find a bit strange. I must say I didn’t like this one as much as the last one. I liked Simon in this one, it was a bit confusing but also very redeeming. I can appreciate that in a film. I didn’t love either dress. I also find it weird that the King cannot check his finances and that he trusts people around him so much apart from his wife. I also felt the love story was a bit rushed, the whole I love you the most in the entire world a bit fast. You would think their advisory board would have smart people on the board but I guess not. It might be a problem that I expect something a bit more true to real life but then again that would be pretty boring. Overall I did like it, it was enjoyable. I especially liked the ending.

The Royal baby
I love good endings, I especially love not knowing the end. Having said that, I truly felt they made up the conflict just to have a conflict. They also made the people seem weird. The relationship between Melissa and Simon for example. She didn’t trust him and then she did. While nothing truly changed. Having said that, it was enjoyable. I wonder why Amber doesn’t check in with her friends more often as she was surprised by things I wasn’t surprised about. This film was like clue but more dull. It was enjoyable enough and a nice ending to this trilogy,

I liked the first one and would truly recommend watching it on Netflix. You can skip the other two or watch it when you have nothing better to do. I hope that Netflix comes out with a different story next year.

A very merry Christmas from me to you.
Lots of love,
Melissa
