Not a Sequel. Not a reboot. What is this?

From the same people who made A Royal Christmas On Ice comes a new story with the same Prince? I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a sequel to the other one or what but it's got John Stoddard as Prince Jonathan (formerly Prince John in ARCOI) and William Baldwin (I guess not a sequel as in the first he was Daryl and in this he's Jarrod) and another lackluster script.A lot of cringe moments, second hand embarrassment, which is a shame because like so many it had potential.Like why make the same actor once again a prince with the same name? It's just confusing if you've seen both. Was this supposed to be a reboot with some changes?Anyway, JS and WB do passable jobs with the script given. But too much cringe over all to recommend.

Opposing agendas

7.5 stars.A woman wants to be a news anchor so badly she will do just about anything. That's not the first impression, but as we get to know her and we hear some tidbits about her from parents and friends, we come to understand she is a real go-getter. Her agenda is to succeed and do it like a bull in a china shop, if that's what it takes. On the other hand, she appears to be a laid back reporter who simply wants a story and is misreading the intentions of a prince. Enter the prince. He is visiting the USA to do a ribbon cutting for military veterans, and he's quite the dashing sort. It's love at first sight for the royal playboy. He is completely entranced by this reporter, and it shows. Their two opposing agendas are that he wants to pursue her immediately, to the utmost, because he feels she is so much more wonderful a woman than any he's ever encountered. But, she seems to want to capture the story above all else, although she has some hint of attraction for him at times. This film has some contradictions and irrationalities between the characters and how they interact vs how they feel toward each other. His rendition of a prince with his heart on his sleeve, is very well done, but her character is divided. She exudes a sweet and kind exterior with only a wisp of assertiveness, and her attraction for him is inconsistent. It only serves to confuse the audience. A reviewer or two mentioned there is no chemistry, but there is. The only reason it seems lacking is due to bad writing, not bad acting.

An aspiring reporter with a Royal prince

It seems like every rom/com network has to have at least one royal story at Christmas. This one combines an ambitious reporter looking for an exclusive interview. This one is a bit unusual in that the reporter is honest. The obvious disaster occurs completely by accident, at least from the reporter's side. To add to the drama, it happens after a strong segment emphasizing values and honesty.There is a petty rival but she only has a small part.Reality. What is that? The prince is quickly smitten and within a day of knowing her is already falling in love. Katie is quickly smitten too.But then there is the predictable conflict. One part of it is obvious, but a second part of it is not so obvious beforehand, although there is at least one early reference that foreshadows it. Either way, the conflict is a real muddle, Actually the issue behind it is overblown. What the prince did is common and the fact that he brings it up first only looks better on him.The closing cleanup is again obviously predictable, but seemed to me a bit clumsy.The acting is inconsistent. Likewise the script. I usually find it difficult to find chemistry between leads in a royal movie because princes are by nature reserved.
