There are quite a few Hallmark movies I enjoy because the actors have chemistry good chemistry, the scenery and set design are pretty, and the storyline varies away from the normal "city girl leave high stress job and goes back to hometown, gets talked into planning a festivity, and falls for the handsome widower who may or may not be her high school boyfriend." Don't get me wrong-these movies can be very enjoyable on a lonely, rainy Sunday. I often catch myself immersed in one or two thinking love truly does exist. But then there Re the Hallmark movies like this one, A Winter Princess, where 8 just shake my head at the absurdity. Not only is the set boring, but the actors are incredibly boring and lack any kind of chemistry. The script is typical and incredibly predictable. Princess from small european country pretends to be a commoner. Natalie Hall, while cute, just couldn't quite get herself into the part. She wasn't completely wrong For the part, but her facial expressions and mannerisms were very distracting. She just didn't have any chemistry with lead Chris McNally and together, they were so blah. I almost wanted her to run off with the prince of Denmark because they had better chemistry. Sometimes the background set can rescue a movie but not this time. It was like the film got a small budget and then when shooting started, got to spend only half. So basically, if you're a die hard Hallmark Fan, you might like this on as a background movie while you make cookies or scroll the internet on your iPad. You don't have to watch the whole thing to get the plot.

Patchy enough but performance of female lead carried it through and made it enjoyable. The male lead was unconvincing and felt like his romantic interest came to light when it was revealed Carlie was royalty.

It was a relaxing show to sit and watch during the present chaos. It had a cute couple as the lead.

These disguised prince or princess movies have been done more times than I can count. This one follows pretty much the same plot as the others. Girl leaves her castle to find herself and falls for non royal boy. She must decide whether to stay with boy and her new life or return home. Problems arise throughout the movie, like her getting publicly outed as a princess. Her family showing up unexpectedly. The ski resort where she works needing to be saved. But In the end, everyone gets their happily ever after. What I liked about this movie include the beautiful scenery at the snow resort. It really was breathtaking in a couple shots. I also liked that the non royal love interest found out the girl was a princess early on. Most of these movies that happens later and causes some friction. The acting was okay. It's what you'd expect from television actors. Some were better than others. I DID find it strange that the princess was the only member of her family not to have an accent. She blamed it on attending boarding school in America, but would years of that REALLY get rid of everything? Hmm.. I suppose it's better than having to listen to a horrible fake accent! Anyway, this movie is definitely worth watching, at least once. But it's not one of those where you're excited to watch it again.

A mix of royalty in childhood dreams type, Roman Holiday and a ski resort. Romance, a ball, family, gingerbread houses and great decisions, siblings and happy end. All - Hallmark mark, with the good gift to feel be little more than the classic recipe. So, sweet.

An enjoyable movie, the main casting was well fitted to each other. The views and back drop through out the movie was really nice. I really liked the fact that the snow was actual snow and not the fake foam snow that is so easy to detect.
