Usually family sequels are fun and run close to their originals, this film lacked everything it's original had. A poor script, motionless characters and Ben Lamb whose performance lacked any appeal despite he winning is over in the original. Rudy Ambers Father was played by a different person wasn't the right choice he played a goofy larrikin rather than the loving supportive father. Why the change??? Never the less I could go on and do a full users review but it would be a waste. I sincerely hope they do another original cast more energy and a better more entertaining engaging script. 'It's a no from me tonight'

I hate the new dad they recasted. He's too stereotypical, "New York New York" kind of attitude and doesnt carry the calm, grounded acting father from the first one. He simply ANNOYS me and really makes me not want to watch it. Or skip all the parts he's in. I dont need his comedic attitude. I love the cheesy, loving, collected father which is what I related to with the first one. Not this all out-there kind of guy. Whatever I'm 15 mins into and already hate the dude.

I have a perpetual look of disgust in any scene he is in. He is absolutely cringeworthy. So much so that I'm not sure what else is going on in the movie as I'm only 10 minutes in but I'm ready to call it a wrap. To switch an actor for a cartoonish nut is unforgivable. Oh! We've hit the wedding planner scene🙄. That's two cartoonish nuts.

2 stars for Rose McIver, that's it as she was the only good thing about this dumpster fire.

OK The first one was not that great, but well.. It was a typical been done 20 times better already unoriginal type fair, but it was still OK I guess. This garbage takes a dump all over it.

They took Amber's father from the first movie who was a good kind smart strong guy and replaced him with an unfunny disgraceful bozo JarJar Binks type fool and don't even get be started on the designer clown. They were so bad and so over the top it was painfully unbearable to suffer through.

Not sure what the director was thinking but he should find a new line of work.

A spectacular fairytale castle and gorgeous Christmas sets, like all the recent Netflix Christmas movies, but the acting and script are more painful than a raging case of Christmas hemmoroids. If you can appreciate this movie for the mindless fun that it is, you'll enjoy it. I'd give it a 7.5 but I couldn't stand the gay Indian wedding planner or the old biddy security butler. They almost ruined the film.

Who are these delusional people giving this movie anything above a 4?!?!?!? I really liked the first one but this is just so horrible it's painful. These poor actors were given the worst script on the planet to work with. You'd be better off just taking a cheese grater to your face

Just like part one of this hopefully never ending series, the sequel was a dumpster fire of bad acting, awful writing and cheesy storylines - and I enjoyed every second of it. I don't watch these Hallmark-esque movies because I expect much depth, I'm looking for kitschy entertainment and that's exactly what it provides. Rose McIvers wide-eyed performance saves every scene she's in, which helps, since Indian Jason Derulo is one of the most unlikable stereotypically gay characters to ever be on a screen. If you want to spend 90 minutes with your brain in the "off" position and laugh at the absurdity, this is the movie for you.

Not a top movie of mine but I did enjoy this. It is like watching a Hallmark movie without the corny bits, lol

I am watching this movie and am approaching the middle it. One of the worst written movies ever. The ridiculous Indian designer totally destroys any possibility of this movie being worth the waste of my time. The idiotic brides's father is nearly as bad. A diner 'cook' and a 'chef' are 2 different things!! Beyond all this, Indians and Americans alike should be highly insulted by these 2 characters. The only reason I'm watching is because of the beautiful Romania architecture and winter scenery.

This is an excellent example of how not to make a movie. The roles are stereotypical and the love and affection between the characters are not believable at any level.

The production paid no attention to details in costume (some look so cheap, her wedding gowns as an example).

The conversations about how to govern the country are... horrendous. Do not watch this movie.

A year after Amber helped Richard secure the crown, the two are set to tie the knot in a royal Christmas wedding - but their plans are jeopardized when Amber finds herself second-guessing whether or not she's cut out to be queen, and Richard is faced with a political crisis that threatens to tarnish not only the holiday season, but the future of the kingdom. A little to campy for me but once again my like for actress from the CW networks i-Zombie Rose McIver saves the film . Worth watching .

This movie is so bad, it's like they were trying to make it terrible. So bad in fact, that the rest of my family and I are planning on having a hot cocoa night and watching it just so we can make fun of it. The plot was so ridiculous--it's a disaster because she can't write a blog? Oh heavens? Whatever will she do?! I'm an independent woman, I insist on writing a blog! Combined with the fact that they recycle the plot line from the first one--another evil family member tries to take down the royal family--surprise surprise--and the kitschy lines they made the actors recite, presumably as a form of punishment--the whole thing ends up being a huge insult to anyone's intelligence. I could go on, but you're wasting precious time--go make yourself a cup of hot cocoa--and keep the rum ready--you're going to need it to get through this one!

So, I have finally given in and am now watching Christmas films in November. Shell's influence has won through. Netflix are releasing the Third Film in the series - The Royal Baby this year. So, in fact knowing that, you can probably tell that through all the problems, hijinks, miscommunication, rehabilitation of Simon and wedding in peril, it is all going to work out in the end and Christmas will be celebrated. And you know what - fantastic, that is what you want from a Christmas film. It is not going to win any Oscars, the first half hour annoyed me, but in the end, it is a nice, warm-hearted Christmas film with a feel-good factor throughout. Settle down and get Christmassy!

Waste your life on this... I will never get back this Friday evening, learn on my mistakes!

This is movie achieves what promises which is some edulcorantes warm fun Christmas entertainment. I liked the first one and I'm going to watch the third one right away.

And NETFLIX, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, GIVE EMILY HER OWN MOVIE!! She steals the show in every movie.

Will admit to not being much of a fan of the first 'A Christmas Prince', which was one of those semi-watchable on-the-fence sort of films with nothing particularly special. Decided to see 'A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding' on Netflix as somebody who loves Christmas and many festive films, just in case anybody is wondering why the film was seen in the first place.

'A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding' didn't work for me, as a follow up and as a film on its own, and definitely the inferior one of the two. It was not from personal opinion a terrible film with a few good points, but it was at best a mediocre one, with the worst flaws being insultingly bad, that has all the flaws of the first 'A Christmas Prince' while amplifying them and having more on the way. Actually did want to at least sort of enjoy the film, not watching it trying hard to dislike it, have never done that with any film that comes my way with the genuine intent to always be fair.

Starting with 'A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding's' good things, the picturesque scenery is lovely as is the outside and inside of the castle which makes one want to stay there. The photography is neither drab or garish, though finesse is not a strong suit. The music is a pleasant listen and is infectious.

Rose McIver gives an appealing lead performance and Alice Krige is the picture of elegance and dignity. The best acting comes from Honor Kneafsey, a bright spot in the first film too, who brings a lot of charm and heart absent elsewhere.

However, the rest of the acting ranges from bland to awful. Ben Lamb is much less comfortable or engaged here, here stiff and going-through-the-motions, while his chemistry with McIver isn't there this time round and completely fails to gel or sparkle. None of the rest of the characters are interesting here, Simon is completely pointless while the villain is both underwritten and cartoonish. Coming off worst are a re-casted Rudy, who is very irritating, and especially the insufferable and quite insulting character of the wedding designer/planner which near-single handedly ruined the film.

The script achieves the not-easy feat of having twice the amount of grating cheese and mawkish schmaltz that the first film was peppered with. The story is muddled from trying to cram in too many story elements, all completely stale and some unnecessary, very thin and padded in some stretches, is littered with predictability and contrivance and the frequent lapses in continuity and credibility-straining gets on the nerves fast.

In summary, mediocre at best but not a waste. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Sure it had a soap opera plot, but I knew exactly what I was asking for when I started watching this movie. Of course it's now an amazing, meaningful Oscar-winning movie, but I don't understand how people even expect that. I mean did you read the title?

As a cute, typical, royal romance and Christmas movie, I think it delivers. Yeah it's cheesy, but of course it is! I watched the first one and it's the same thing! I think it's a charming, cheesy, Christmas romance. That's what I wanted to watch when I started the movie, and that's what I got!

NOT DISAPPOINTED. And Rose McIver is adorable!

This sequel isn't quite as warm and fuzzy as the original but it has a fun little mystery. I was pleased that the romance and the wedding were not at the forefront here. The supporting characters that we were introduced to in the first movie get a chance to shine with more screen time and character development. These movies are must for those that love a typical feel-good Hallmark Christmas movie.

If you have brain cells to spare, I highly recommend this movie. It will do wonderful job for you..

I think that the best part of the movie was when a journalist princess did the investigation and when she wrote "fishy" on piece of paper. I mean, she would probably forget that something is fishy so I think that was really good and intelligent thing to do!

Btw. who would want to be princess in this age? Even more in some Aldovia (who is making up this names?? Did you notice that all kingdoms are ending up with "ovia"? Maybe that is a definition of magical place; like kingdom of Poopovia)

Furthermore, who ever came up with original personality of princess "fishy" father should get a "Poopovia" reward for best character or at least a nominee. Great stuff.
