A Royal Christmas Ball

Tara Reid is, I'm sorry, not what we would believe as the classy, beautiful long-lost love of a prince. She is more box wine than Bordeaux. Ingo Rademacher, usually as dependable an actor as he is handsome, is a particularly charmless prince. Together he and Reid are a totally unlikely love match in this tedious Christmas romance. For Christmas movie fans, there is not much in the California setting to bring that warm holiday glow. The one bright spot is the sweet, effortless performance from Haley Pullos as their daughter Lily. The scenes with and her friend Taylor (Kennedy Lea Slocum) are adorable. There is very little else in this film to recommend it.
