2:54 | Aldovia this time. Gonna need a Netflix Christmas Universe atlas. |
6:30 | Always judge a country on the state of their airport. Genovia sucked. Aldovia much better. |
10:11 | I feel like she’s breaking and entering or at the very least trespassing. Maybe spying? Not a good start to your career. |
13:26 | More of a plié than a curtsey. |
13:54 | “Who are you and what are you doing in my palace?” |
22:03 | Spying again! Doesn’t Aldovia have an MI5? |
23:43 | “Because I don’t know how to curtsey and I break everything?” |
30:58 | Hold the phone. Firstly, she was typing in a fake Pages document because the word count was zero. Then it magically turned into a Word document. Aldovia is weird. |
43:14 | No one has ever said ‘toboggan’ with such disdain before. |
47:39 | Loving that her first instinct upon seeing a scary wolf is to just sit down. |
56:10 | I can’t see any of this ending well. I certainly would never forgive her for lying and snooping and knowing. |
57:34 | “Men too, sometimes.” Great comeback. |
1:04:29 | Liking the Converse under the posh gown. |
1:08:58 | If the guy wants to be King in his place, it’s not a very kingly way to behave. |
1:18:44 | Very unpopular king. Actual booing. |
1:25:52 | What’s up with the snowball throwing? Is that some kind of greeting in New York? |
1:27:58 | Come on King Richard, you don’t know ANYTHING about her because she lied to you the whole time. |
Conclusions
Was absolutely expecting this to be one of the rubbish but brilliant Christmas movies and that’s exactly what it was. The story was far-fetched, but kinda fun, and it was a laugh to guess the twists and turns and how the story might unfold (we also managed to write a better twist ourselves as we went along, but hey, simpler is probably better).
Good characters, cheesy story, but a nice message, and a very Christmassy feel. Very good.
