What wasn't awful about this movie?? First, I think it was awful that the plot and characters made a poor, classless attempt at trying to imitate "A Princess for Christmas"...which was a very good movie.......From the opening snowy scene in the U.S...to a female star with dark hair and same length, and big TEETH...to a disgruntled royal parent...to eventually not feeling worthy of being with a Prince...on and on and on.....in its own pathetic way, it seemed like its purpose was to make a farce out of a "Princess for Christmas."........."Emily" was just too darn giddy and annoying throughout. And the scene with her and the Prince behaving like fools, trying to get a reaction out of the guards, was ridiculous! (not funny)...The dinner table scene with the guests, Emily was just too unbelievably dumb and ill-mannered by anyone's standards.......Jane Seymour is a good actress, but she typically ended too many of her lines with an inaudible whisper.....I think the reason for the Queen's dismay of the relationship was ultimately inadequate compared to her observation of "Emily's" immature, naïve, embarrassing behavior throughout......I mean really, why would an educated person with status, the Prince, find himself attracted to such a person.......At least in a "Princess for Christmas," "Jules" was mature, responsible, and sincere...and that was a quality, enjoyable movie entirely, that had appropriate light-hearted scenes.
