A Christmas Prince a Netflix Original Christmas themed romantic comedy starring Rose McIver, Ben Lamb and Alice Krige. When Amber, a magazine journalist, played by Rose McIver, is sent on her first ever assignment, to the fictional foreign country of Aldovia, she has no clue what she’s in store for. In an attempt to get a first-hand take on what’s going on with the illusive Prince Richard, she ends up going undercover as a tutor and discovers there is more than what meets the eye with the alleged playboy prince.
This was your typical feel-good Netflix Christmas film. It was heartwarming and light hearted. Although quite predictable, and not entirely realistic, I still liked the themes around what family really means, taking a chance at love and following your dreams.
Rose McIver did well in the role of Amber. Even though her character doesn’t always have the best intentions, in the beginning, she did still come off as likeable. I also thought that her character’s unique and quirky fashion sense stood her apart from everyone else and was an important part of her character development. I was also really impressed with her American accent; I would have never guessed she was from New Zealand. Regarding the rest of casting; there was not enough diversity in the group and her friends needed a lot more character development.
Overall, this was a decent straight to video story, with beautifully festive landscapes and sets that really helps to get you in the Christmas spirit.
