Please forgive any mistakes, as my mother tongue is German but I MUST tell you how "wonder-full" this movie is. Sir Roger Moore is a favorite actor of mine and the story sounded perfect. (To my shame I must confess I didn't know Kathy McGrath, but now I do ;D).
I only can say this Christmas movie IS a real Christmas movie, a story so heartwarming and lovely, it is full of elegant style and charm - and real Christmas spirit. It is some kind of Cinderella-story and it proves that a story must not always be something absolutely new - if you are able to tell it in a different and charming way - it will always be fresh again. Decoration and colours, music and location, actors and story - all is fitting together perfect. The film location was found in Romania, at beautiful and mysterious Peles Castle in Sinaia.
How a true loving and believing heart can change lives of others - this is the deeper meaning of the story. And it is acted with style and heart, with humor and charm. For me it became my most special and beloved Christmas movie - after seeing it I could have embraced the whole world.
I give an absolute recommendation to buy this film. Please get yourself and your whole family a cup of hot tea or chocolate put your legs onto the couch and dip into a magic world of Christmas fairytales - I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did...

Had to look after my 5 and 6 year old cousins over the weekend so decided the best way to keep them happy is by getting a load of DVD's. This one was by far and away the biggest success of the weekend and in my mind the bargain of a lifetime, not only did it keep them entertained for a single watch but they forced me to replay it for them four times in two days....

Usually I do not see the new seasonal movies that air on Hallmark channel (or any "cable" network) until the following year when - and if they release to DVD. This year, this film was released in the U.K. and Canada, and was one I really wanted to see, it was my one "guilty pleasure" buy. Turns out I was really pleased at the results...
"A Princess for Christmas" (the American/Hallmark Channel title but A.K.A., "A Christmas Princess" or "Christmas at Castlebury Hall") revolves around a woman (Katie McGrath) who takes her niece and nephew to visit their British grandfather who just happens to be a duke. During their stay, Jules learns to let go of the past and forgive the man who rejected his son for marrying a commoner and there is, of course, a fairy-tale ending.
O.K., it's confession time: I absolutely adored this movie. For practical reasons, I can't say it was because this is a sweeping epic based off a true story or because it has a beautiful spiritual bent, but because there is a fairy-tale quality that I couldn't help but love. To be honest, the movie starts out a bit rocky but... I thought the ending was adorable and I liked how the characters interacted - including the servants with Jules and the kids. In that way, this movie actually reminded me (albeit very loosely) of "Downton Abbey." This is definitely one of my most loved Christmas films from 2011 - I am so glad I was able to see it; A Princess for Christmas is just another charming `hallmark' of why this channel is oh-so-popular.

Adorably sweet and Christmassy. Katie McGrath was lovely in it and the butler character conveys the needed humour. Nice family fare with lots of snowy shots.

What a wonderful christmas movie. I would highly recommend it. Our children were ill over the weekend so we decided top buy some dvd's & this was one of them! What a magical tale. Great performances by Sir Roger Moore, Katie Mcgrath & Sam Heughan. The little girl who played Maddie (Leilah de Meza) was absolutely fantastic too as well as the boy who played Milo. I am sure he was in Marley & Me 2. I am sure we will see lots more of these two in the future. An absolutely delightful film !!!!!!

Morgana from Merlin in a nicer role! This is an okay film, bit cheesy but is a happy little Christmas film to get you in the festive spirit!

Christmas Froth
A light hearted fairy tale - very cosy and comforting, although the American accents grate a little and Roger Moore seems to sleepwalk his way through the whole film.
