A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby

I forget but I think the first one was better in a more romantic sort of way This one was ok Quite boring Think even kids would be bored Bad acting Wardobe was so blah nothing royal about it

FIRST OF ALL - this is NOT a Hallmark movie. It is a production solely for Netflix. Please don't confuse productions.

All three Christmas Prince movies are good clean fun. Not based on any reality. BTW - there's no such country either. Just watch for what they're worth. Placing any sense of reality on these movies is ridiculous. Everything is over the top. Take them for what they are ...

The movie is a perfect 5. Just very average. Nice if you just want to put your brain to 0. The real reason I wanted to write this review is just because their "newborn" baby is obviously just 6 months old. It's ridiculous and therefore hilarious.

A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby U/G (2019) Netflix

Here it is! For Christmas Crapola lovers, this is the big one. Forget The Rise of Skywalker this Christmas; the conclusion of the 'A Christmas Prince Trilogy' TM is the one we've all been waiting for.

For the uninitiated, the previous two films told the story of how the Prince/King of fictional Aldovia meets and marries a girl from New York. Obviously, Richard has now knocked up Amber and this one's about the birth of their baby, though the narrative is actually more based around the signing of an ancient treaty with a country that is supposed to be in Europe but seems to be a fictional version of China. There's also a 'curse on the baby' subplot that adds a little creepiness towards the end as it all goes a bit Agatha Christie.

The 'Christmas Prince's great strength is, like The Knight Before Christmas, it spends a decent budget on a great Christmas backdrop. It never misses the opportunity to throw in a Christmas Carol and the decorations are fabulously over the top.

Christmas Cheese Rating: 10/10 A Christmas tree in every room in the palace, minimum.

Snow Rating: 9/10 It starts off with unmistakable 'fire extinguisher in summer' work, which is very disappointing for this franchise. However, normal service is quickly resumed and they still do proper filming on location in Romania. Stellar work.

Actually Any Good Rating: 9/10 As Christmas Crapola goes, the A Christmas Prince Trilogy is the franchise to beat.

This series is great. I wish they used 10 more $ from the budget on making the hairdos a little nicer, but overall, fun to watch. That is one healthy 6-mo-old newborn...
