A Royal Christmas on Ice

فيلم جيد!

I watched this movie because I love ice skating and Billy Baldwin. He rocks in it. This movie is about love. A prince who loves hockey decides to buy a hockey team. But first he has to ask his business partner played by Billy Baldwin how to do it. He ends up going to a small town and smashing the cake of Abby. One time, Olympic hopeful finger skater. She doesn't like him at first because the cake is smushed but he buys a new one and is too charming and ripped for her to resist. Their love story is happy one but filled with some sad moments. It's a great Christmas Romance and the skating is awesome. Would recommend this if you love ice skating and hilarious parts. The dad makes a scene where he makes a hamburger, candy cane casserole. I couldn't believe it. I don't want to say much more but take my word for it you will love it.

Seriously... I had high hopes for this movie, but the acting is horrendous, especially the ex-boyfriend. Abby, while very pretty, scowls and frowns throughout much of the movie. Not a trait you would really want in a love interest. Marshall, his aid, Roger the brother, and the Queen are all horribly miscast. When I say junior high level acting, it's exactly what I mean. The only play that I ever participated in it was in Junior high school, and I was so bad that even my family begged me not to do another play. I was horrible, and so is this movie! Just the way I see it, and I normally enjoy all holiday movies.

Does "family entertainment" mean it was written by a 10 year old. Perhaps it was written for a younger audience because it lacks the sophistication I would expect for a movie aimed at the usual Christmas romance crowd. The script is bad. The dialogue is filled with inanities and lacks any sparkle. The acting is mediocre, although Anna Marie Dobbins' Abigail does have some screen appeal. The story is simplistic. I was glad to see that Prince John was not an imminent heir to the throne so a romance with Abigail was not as impossible as is often the case in Royal movies. I understand time compression in movies, but it does make me cringe a little when characters "fall in love" so quickly. There is some figure skating but the camera work is clumsy with frequent changing angles and closeups that are too close up. This is not one to watch again.

Lots of smoo smoo drama. Its a movie for the ladies looking for a clean feel good romance, guys will tough it out The only game in town with this kind of genre is still 'the ice princess', and thats old school Disney, nothing in coming with the modern crap they are spewing out I did not really understand the two leads, neither one could ice skate very well, the extras could not ice skate as well, and she is supposedly a one time Olympic hopeful training Olympic hopefuls, NOPE. How did that female lead get the part? Was GAF too dam lazy to audition some actual figure skaters? Maybe some behind the scenes favors occurred? As one of a few straight males who enjoys women's figure skating, this was disappointing.

A Royal Christmas on Ice is a 2022 made for TV movie starring AnnamarieDobbins,Jonathan Stoddard and William Baldwin. The story is about a handsome British prince named John(Stoddard) who escapes his Palace life for America and falls for a former Olympic skater named Abigail Simpson(Dobbins). But will Abigail skate again and learn the real truth about John?. Overall it was a thoroughly predictable film from start to finish. Every single Christmas without fail we have a Harry and Meghan styled film where you've got a British Prince(Harry) who falls for an American (Meghan) and they fall in love and live happily ever after. One of the gripes I had with this film was hearing Jonathan Stoddard switching his accent from British to American to British again.

This was probably the worst Christmas movie I've ever seen. I would find myself being embarrassed for the cast. Abigail was a pretty girl but strange. Very negative and snarly. Obviously, her glass was halfway empty. The scene when she is skating and just holding her arm out with a slow turn and John clapping for her was pretty bad. John was nice looking but when he would smile his smile at her with the look in his eyes, it was freaky. In real life I would think he was a stalker and was making evil plans. Her ex boyfriend was just thrown in a couple of times, for what reason I have no idea. In fact, the entire movie was like that, not really ever running smoothly. Throwing in a hamburger- peppermint casserole didn't help at all. If this is an example of new Christmas movies, it's not anything to look forward to. God bless it, I think sometimes it could be the right move to not accept the part if offered.

I was hopeful and expecting a little repetitive storyline, I mean how many ways can you spin prince running away...) But agree with others in that I felt there was not a single redeeming quality portrayed in the main character, you can only take love at first sight so far. I would have turned it off after the first 30 minutes but kept expecting a plot twist or something. What was the pushy ex all about? Why was this prince so into someone that would not even give him the time of day? Why couldn't the hockey team play and have her teach during off times. So much animosity over nothing! Waste of time and money to film this. I am sure this home town was hoping for some great portrayal of their town but I did not even come away with a great feeling for wanted to live there. I came away thinking this was a rush job and most of the content must have been cut out or at least I hope so for the writers sake.

This movie was the worst Christmas movie that I've seen in awhile. Abigail, the lead female, was immature and downright unlikeable. I saw her smile twice I think. She's mad at the world, miserable with her life and blaming everyone else for her own mistakes and choices. It isn't believable that any man with self worth would pursue her. The baker character is cute, and the friend that tried to call her out for being rude but wasn't near harsh enough. By the end, I was hoping it turned into a murder mystery. The town was cute. Baldwin was a nice surprise. The story had potential. It just couldn't overcome that character.
