A Christmas Carousel

A Christmas carousel highlights the importance of restoration of a valuable part of our history: carousels. Carousels are a real and true dying art. The back drop is a more typical hallmark love story...regular girl falls in love with a prince, he has obligations....yada yada yada, misunderstanding-misunderstanding, wish on a carousel wishing horse, the singing of The Coventry Carol....and wham! True Love/Happily Ever After!

One tiny complaint...male lead is handsome with a great voice, but some of his acting, particularly with his niece is a little over the top and hard to believe for a prince...even one with art training, unless he was trained at Barnum and Bailey.

I can't get past the horrible toupee the dad is wearing. Distracts from the movie.

This was poorly done. The acting was actually good but Bledsoe's fake accent was AWFUL, good thing it wasn't in 95% of the scenes......Oh wait. The sets were cheap and it showed, and the some of the wardrobe is ridiculous, and I'm not just talking about Bledsoe wearing children's size clothing. The dialogue was confused as if it was written by 2 different people, one of them terrible at it. When these little annoyances are nearly every single scene, it just becomes too much

I haven't always been a fan of Rachel Boston. She has tried to portray an over the top quirky and adorable 20 year old character for far too long. She needed to realize that she's older and needed to act more her age. Then came her movie the previous year about the competitive family inn's. I loved that movie. It was my favorite of last Christmas. She was finally more believeable, mature and appealing. I looked forward to seeing her in a movie for the first time ever. This movie was a little disappointing. The male actor was great, I'd love to see him cast in more movies in the future. Rachel Boston just didn't make sense. I didn't feel it. It wasn't believable and she didn't seem like a good fit with the future King. She kind of barreled over royal behaviors and traditions and it just wasn't endearing to me. I still liked the movie well enough though.

5/10 - I usually love royal Christmas movies, but this one just felt bland and uninspired
