First of all, I'm not sure what these other reviewers were expecting. It is, by its very nature, a made-for-tv cheesy holiday movie. Christmas decorations, a dash of royalty with a hint of a weird foreign accent from some made up country, a regular girl suddenly becoming a princess, and a ball! Yes, it's formulaic. Were you expecting a cinematic masterpiece? If so, that's your own mistake. It's meant to be cheesy, formulaic, with sub par acting, and barely known actors. This is how they churn out so many in a year. And to the reviewer who said it was a Hallmark movie--- it wasn't. You're wrong. It was for UP TV. Maybe do some research.

It was a Hallmark movie, so it's formulaic. But... There were a few things that really threw me.... Cookies? When did they have time to bake cookies? The night of the party seems to go on for two days... Didn't the king have an appointment with the CEO or some thing? The time line after the party is confusing.. it's night, it's early morning, it's day, it's night.... But no one has changed clothes.... It was cute but the timeline and cookies.. weird

I believe it would have been much better with a different leading lady, Tara Reid looked horrible, on top of the acting, what a terrible shame, it could have been a really cute and sweet movie.

This was the worse movie I have seen in a long time. The acting was horrible, especially by the two main characters, Tara Reid and the King, and her daughter was absolutely awful! The whole premise of the movie is stupid, and the King totally forgives his ambassador/nanny lady who lied to and manipulated him and his love interest. It was like no big deal in the end, we only lost 17 years and I never knew I had a daughter, but it's all good. It was stupid.

Very poorly written script in combination with the bad lighting and camera work gives the movie more of a porn movie vibe than a Christmas vibe. The movie consists purely of clichÃ (C)s and has little to no original content. The bad camera work and terrible acting gives it a very unnatural and fake vibe. It's very obvious that it is a movie and it doesn't suck you into the story. Would not recommend anyone to watch this movie.
