I too am surprised at the good reviews of this movie. This Princess in a strange land plot did not have a happy ending! The trust has been broken! Everyone knows that there is an unwritten contract between Christmas Movie makers and viewers that Christmas Movies have to have a happy ending. This would never happen on Hallmark, Ion, Up, Bet, or Hallmark Movies and Mysteries! To spell it out, The princess came back, not to renounce her crown or find another way to Marry the commoner and be a mother to his little girl, but to invite him to a party in her country. That. Is. It. They will not have a future together! Unless there is a sequel.
