Unrealistic and a little preach-y.

I'm generally a big fan of most hallmark films and I liked the idea of Mia's ideal man coming from the pages of her favorite book...but there was a little too much idealism in this film for me. Also there were wildly unrealistic aspects to the story...including the very public make-out session at a charity event. Inappropriate and unrealistic.I loved Mia's final green dress and how her hair was done. I was unfamiliar with Kathryn Davis as an actress, but she was quite lovely. I don't think this was an acting issue, more of a script issue. Finally, I didn't get a feeling for how the other films are going to be connected to this one in the "unwrapping Christmas" series?Overall not a recommendation from me, unfortunately.

Where was the Christmas magic...?

After having just sat through first "Unwrapping Christmas: Tina's Miracle" and then "Unwrapping Christmas: Olivia's Reunion", and enjoying the former and not finding the latter particularly good, I was actually looking forward to watching "Unwrapping Christmas: Mia's Prince" as it had Kathryn Davis in the leading role.However my expectations were cut short by writer Kathleen Fox, as the script and storyline for the movie was not particularly interesting, much less enjoyable or entertaining, and it wasn't really particularly Christmassy. So it was a bit of a disappointing viewing experience sitting through the movie.Leading actress Kathryn Davis did manage to keep the movie afloat, but she was struggling with having a subpar script to work with. The acting performances in general were fair, despite the script being not so great.I am sure that diehard fans of sappy Christmas movies might enjoy "Unwrapping Christmas: Mia's Prince" a lot more than I did as a casual viewer.This is not a movie that will find its way back to my screen a second time.My rating of director Amy Force's 2024 movie "Unwrapping Christmas: Mia's Prince" lands on a four out of ten stars.

A Royal movie?

The title implies it, but when I read the synopsis, suggesting Beau was like her book "prince", I thought no more about it. Until ... Turns out this story plays like any other Royal Christmas movie. Beau is part of a very rich family that acts like royalty right down to Mom picking her son's potential bride. Mom is strict and controlling just like the typical queen perhaps one of the meaner ones. (What American mother books the venue for her son's wedding without consulting him about the date?) The different worlds theme is also a big part of the story. And have you ever noticed that almost every Hallmark Christmas movie has suppliers who bail or don't deliver on commitments without any consequences? There is an interesting twist to the fake fiancé trope since the fake couple are not both the lead couple. Actually there are a couple twists in that, maybe a few.This movie probably has the most serious romantic conflict of the 4 Unwrapping titles.There is a side story with Mia's sister. I caught some early foreshadowing to something late in the story, but only because of the way it was presented in the story.The acting is OK. Much better than in Olivia's Reunion. Mia's awkwardness was natural to the story and had nothing to do with Beau the man. There is some quiet chemistry between Kathryn Davis and Nathan White. The dialogue is a little too hyperbolic. So much of it revolves around idolizing the book Christmas in Derbyshire.I'm not a fan of Royal movies. While this movie checks a lot of the Royal Christmas movie boxes, it adds some things that aren't quite so typical.
