If you like your royal movies a little different...'A Not So Royal Christmas' is for you!
Everyman groundskeeper mistaken for mysterious Duke (who has actually abdicated - a big Royal secret) by intrepid reporter looking for a big scoop to launch her career, but who is actually from a trashy tabloid not the more respected media outlet she presents as working for? Yep, we're definitely well removed from 'A Royal Christmas' and 'Crown For Christmas' with this one.
Bravo once again this holiday season to Hallmark for thinking outside the box. The plot of this Will Kemp/Brooke D'Orsay vehicle definitely gets high marks for originality. Especially given that both characters have something to hide, rather than just the one.
There is some good chemistry between Kemp and D'Orsay (both Hallmark veterans and good in everything they have starred in for the network), which is what carries the film along nicely.
Probably not a film I'll watch a second time, but a fun way to pass 90 festive minutes.
