A Christmas Prince | Blogmas Day 12

Hey Guys x

It's Blogmas day 12!

This is a trilogy of films on Netflix that I had heard of before, but had no real desire to watch until I started doing Blogmas. The following two films will be reviewed over the next two days.

Aspiring journalist Amber (Rose McIver) is sent to Aldovia to get an exclusive story about the prince who is about to become king. But when she meets Prince Richard (Ben Lamb) and the rest of the royal family, she discovers that there's more for her in Aldovia than just a story.

I didn't expect to like this film, but I ended up falling in love with it, and by extension the whole trilogy!

It had the most cliche beginning, but even though you know exactly where it's going, and pretty much what's going to happen throughout, it's still entertaining enough to keep you engaged.

It felt a bit like watching reality TV, you know that what you're watching has no real substance to it, but you can't stop watching and falling in love with these characters anyway.

However, it's much more than just a Christmas love story. There are scandals and secrets, twists... the story in itself is so intriguing that it doesn't even feel like watching a Christmas movie.

There are a whole cast of great characters that all have distinct personalities, and all of the characters are important to the film.

The thing with this movie is, it knows exactly what it is and leans into that. It's not trying to be a masterpiece, and you can't fault it for that.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this film. And after you watch it, you won't be able to stop yourself from watching the sequels!
