🎄 2021 Christmas Binge Watch Movie #16 🎄 

Why is this series a trilogy? And why do I watch all of them? It’s like watching a train wreck three blocks away with binoculars. I wish they were so bad in a cheesy enjoyable way, but no. All these characters, and the first movie only, are based on the novel St. Piran’s: Prince on the Children’s Ward by Sarah Morgan. 

So they fall in love at Christmas, then next Christmas they get married, and so for their third Christmas together they got a bun in the oven. At this point she’s been married for awhile and she’s still gotta learn how to eat like a lady? For a doctor she’s slow to the game. Of course she’s beloved for man handling that burger while wearing heels and a tiara. Amazing that only five people attend their royal tour. None of these fairytales are based on any reality, and they shouldn’t be, but man do they stretch the line here. I will say that acting is a smidge better than the previous films, but uh, let’s just say none of these guys are thespians of their craft. I mean soap legend Charles Shaughnessy knows what he’s doing and what he’s in. I mean he filmed this whole movie on zoom. Oh man, we should have a nanny Christmas movie reunion with Fran Drescher. Any who I digress. So if you're expecting a lots of hiccups and the movie ending with a newborn baby played by a six month old at Christmas you’d be wrong. I couldn’t believe it, there’s so much movie after baby is born. There is a plot point that I can’t believe these two idiots didn’t realize. Like how stupid are you? Of course it matters where your baby is born when it’s in direct line of succession. There’s also another element that involves this baby that I’m like no way nobody knew. You’re surrounded by doctors and sentenced to bed rest in a hospital, and nobody knows this lady has twins growing in her belly. So let’s watch a fake Christmas movie, and see them battle on whether the boy or girl inherit the throne. They should’ve solved that like they did on Sofia the First. Yes, I’m a grown ass adult who watched that cartoon with her niece, and not with her niece. Why Disney doesn’t do a show with teenage Sofia is beyond me. Again, I digress. What else can I say, this was a movie that’s not horrible, but you know not great either. On a positive note, the costumes are much improved from the ugly that came before in the previous films. I will stress again how this is not really a Christmas movie despite the title. They do not celebrate the holiday, and you only know it’s the season because there’s a Christmas tree and some wreaths up in the church. It barely passed as a holiday film. 

My Rating: ⭐⭐
