Enjoy Katie F.'s review of Christmas with a Crown
16Enjoy Katie F.'s review of Christmas with a Crown. Christmas With A Crown is full of Christmas spirit. The cast and sets are amazing and it really put me in the Christmas mood.
The story follows Cassie, a woman living in New York, who decides to spend Christmas in her hometown, Winderville, and an undercover prince, Nick, who wants to find out about the ‘winter festival,’ a tradition, created by Cassie’s late mother, celebrated on Christmas Day. When it looks like the town’s library is on the verge of closing, Nick and Cassie might just have to join forces to bring it back. How will Nick’s mother react? Will they save the library? Watch Christmas With A Crown to find out.
The cast and sets are great. The actors are all amazing and play their characters to a high and realistic standard. Lisa Durupt stars as Cassie and, although she has been in many films and TV shows, this is one of her first starring roles, and she performs amazingly well. Marcus Rosner (Once Upon A Time and Arrow) joins her as the undercover prince, Nick. He plays his part to a very high standard considering he had to play his role in both an English and American dialect, switching regularly between both. The sets are my favourite, especially the ice skating rink where Nick and Cassie share their thoughts about their homes, families and Christmas traditions. My favourite part of the film is when Arthur, the prince’s right-hand man, finds out Nick is pretending to be a ‘commoner’ in Winderville. His reaction is priceless. The Christmas music in the background made me want to get up and dance. It really makes me wish it was Christmas today.
The message of the film is that two is better than one and that you shouldn’t hide away the truth from the people that care about you.
I give Christmas With A Crown 4 out of 5 stars. It is enjoyable but quite predictable. I recommend it for ages 6 to12, plus adults. This film is available on Digital and DVD December 1, 2020. Look for it.
