Hallmark’s Top 10 Best 2019 Movie: ‘Royal New Year’s Eve’



by Laura Lai/ Review

If the British Royalties do not know it by now, they will soon find it out from… Pfui!... They will find out from the press… from Hallmark TV channel … about Prince Jeffrey (Sam Page). Or Jeff, as he likes to be called.  His marriage proposal to Lady Isabelle Collins supposed to take place on New Year’s Eve became Hallmark’s Top 10 best movies for 2019 (directed by Monika Mitchell).

The ‘Royal New Year’s Eve’ is a romantic comedy around the marriage proposal and its complications. The action of the movie takes place 48 hours before the New Year and it regards a trip that Prince Jeffrey and Lady Isabelle made in the United States, in order for the Lady to find a unique dress for the New Year’s Eve, when she will be proposed – as this was already publicly announced.
            Prince Jeffrey takes advantage of the fact that he is not so popular in the US, in order to be … just Jeff – a regular young man, who learns the pleasure of a coffee in the coffee shop and who discovers the pleasant taste of the hot dogs. Jeff’s romance with Lady Isabelle gets complicated, when he starts having feelings for a lovely and simply former art teacher, currently assistant at a fashion magazine, Caitlyn (Jessy Schram). She also happens to be the amateur designer whose dress impresses the most Lady Isabelle. Caitlyn likes the respectful and polite prince, in which she loves the kindness and support.
And she needed the moral support of the prince. This movie has some ‘Cinderella’ echoes, if one thinks of Caitlyn’s boss, Abigail (who has a daughter), trying to overwhelm her with lots of work, in order to ruin her romance with the prince and especially her career, whose great push up was the fact that a royalty chose to dress her amateur dress design.

The movie ‘Royal New Year’s Eve’, is a beautiful story about what makes each of us happy as people, about deciding for what makes us happy and about going for what makes us happy. It is also about the way some people around accept or do not accept the decision of the two (and about what they are capable of doing when one happens to think that Caitlyn’s luck is too big): Jeff is having less problems with the others for loving a simple girl, while Caitlyn has several obstacles to overcome, because her fashion design career would be pushed up totally serendipitously and because a prince happens to like and to love her.

Enjoy it!
